A step-by-step guide
Here’s a quick guide if you’d like me to design wedding albums for you. The guide is designed for a three book package from Artifact Uprising —if you’re only doing one book or would like to use a different site please shoot me an email.
*Quick note — albums are very easy to make yourself on sites like Artifact Uprising, or others such as BonusPrint or Papier if you’d like more affordable options. This guide is designed for couples who’d like me to design and order your albums for you, but you’re more than welcome to design and order them yourself, and (of course!) I’m always available to answer any question you might have.
My design and creation fee is £350 for a three book package. Priced individually, design fee is £120 per album. As a general price guide, for the Standard 3 book package on Artifact Uprising + design fee and shipping, your total will be around £600.
Step 1
Select which package you’d like to go for: Standard, Classic or Premium.
Log in to my wedding couple’s account. Email: hello@kaliereid.com / Password: KRPwedding01
Buy your selected package. Purchasing the package functions like a voucher code- it allows you to pay for the books upfront and generates a code that allows me to design them for you. The code should automatically send to my email, but if not make sure you forward it on!
Let me know what colour you’d like for each album and whether you’d like a dust jacket.
Step 2
Once you’ve recieved your finished gallery on Pass we’ll work together to make sure the correct photos go in each album.
For a three book package we’ll do this in three steps: Album 1 (100 pages), Album 2 (50 pages) & Album 3 (50 pages).
Before you start selecting photos, you need to decide whether you’d like to have one full sized photo per page or a mix of full page photos and collages.
If you’d like full page photos, you’ll select 100 photos for the big book and 50 for each smaller book.
If you’re going for collages, you’ll select 150 photos for the big book and 70 for each smaller book.
Step 3
In order to make sure the correct photos are in each album, I’ll send you a client selection request email.
You’ll be instructed to select which photos go in each album on Pass. It’s pretty straightforward but please let me know if you have any difficulties or questions!
Step 4
Once your selections are made, I’ll get to work designing the books.
When they’re ready for review, you’ll be able to log in and view the album mockups. If there’s any changes or if you’d like to switch out any photos I will do them at that time.
Once they’re good to go, email me your shipping address and I will order them for you.
At this time I will also invoice you for my design fee (£250) and the shipping cost. Once the invoice is paid I’ll order your albums!
With creation time and shipping from America your albums usually get to you within a month.
Info I need from you: Package option, album colours, full size or collage photo style, photo selection & mailing address.
