A few months after your wedding, something strange happens.
Your dress is packed away. The flowers are long gone. The group chats have gone quiet. And your entire wedding day now lives in a folder… let that sink in. Usually titled something wildly unromantic like “FINAL_EDIT.”
Inside? 800 to 1,500 photos.Some incredible. Some almost identical. Some you don’t even remember being taken.
And this is the moment most couples stall.
Because turning those photos into an album sounds simple, until you open a DIY platform and realise you’re now the designer, editor, curator, and storyteller of one of the most important days of your life.
You’re choosing between five nearly identical shots of your first kiss.
Deciding how many images belong on a page.
Trying to make a bridal prep moment “flow” into a ceremony spread without it feeling clunky.
An hour in, it still doesn’t feel right.
Three hours in, it starts to feel overwhelming.
A week later, the project is sitting in your drafts.
Not because you don’t care.
Because you care too much to get it wrong.
Your wedding album isn’t just a place to store photos. It’s where your day becomes a story you can actually revisit.
And storytelling needs perspective.
You lived the day in real time, fast, emotional, slightly chaotic. A designer sees it differently. We look for rhythm. For contrast. For the quiet moments that make the big ones land harder.
Instead of asking, “Which photos do you like most?”
We design around, “What does this moment need to feel like again?”
That shift changes everything.
Most DIY albums fall into the same traps:
Templates are built for speed, not storytelling.
They’re designed to work well enough for everyone, which means they’re not designed to feel deeply personal to you.
We edit with intention, not attachment.
That means sometimes the best photo isn’t the sharpest one, it’s the one where your partner is mid-laugh, slightly blurred, completely themselves.
We create pacing.
A full-bleed image to let a moment breathe.
A cluster of frames to build story.
White space where it matters, not just where the template allows it.
We design for feeling, not just structure.
And we think about the album as an object too. How it opens. How it flows. The moment someone turns a page and pauses just a second longer than expected.
In a world where everything can be generated, duplicated, and templated, the things that feel real stand out instantly.
Your wedding was real.
It was layered, imperfect, emotional, unpredictable.
Your album should reflect that, not flatten it into a grid.
Human-made design isn’t about rejecting technology. We use the best tools available. But the decisions, the restraint, the instinct, that all comes from experience.
From designing hundreds of albums over 20 years.
From knowing when to hold back.
From knowing when to go all in on a single moment.
Right now, your wedding photos are sitting in a folder, waiting.
You can absolutely design your album yourself. Many couples start that way. But most don’t finish.
Or, you can hand it over to The Coffee Table Book who knows how to turn those images into something you’ll actually come back to.
Not just next month. But years from now, on a random Sunday, when you pull it off the shelf without even thinking.
The Coffee Table Book offers a done-for-you service, taking the stress out of the album creation process. We do all the heavy-lifting (photo curation and page layout design), allowing you to simply enjoy the fun of pressing pause on your wedding day memories through a beautifully professionally printed, high-end photo album without the hassle of designing the album yourself.
All it takes is a few clicks. Head over to our online shop, select your desired photo album size, choice of cover finish and an estimate number of pages to get you started. Through the wedding album design process, together we will figure out how many pages you need based on the photos you want in the album.
We will contact you to gather your photos and any other information required to design your wedding album. We also require a deposit at this time to get started.
Once we have your deposit, photos and any additional information, we will thoughtfully sort through your image gallery to curate the best 150-250 images for the first draft of the wedding album design. We then design your wedding album using the selected images through creative and aesthetically pleasing page layouts.
We send you the initial design draft to review within 10-15 business days. Then you have the opportunity to request any changes. Through the wedding album design process, we also send you several concept designs for the album cover along with an album cover mockup. Included in the album price is 3 rounds of changes.
Maybe we get the design right the first go (yeah!) but more likely you will want to make a few changes. After each round of changes (up to 3 rounds included) we will send you a revised design to review. Either request further changes or approve the design. Only when you are 100% happy and approve the wedding album design will we send your design off to be printed and bound.
On approval of your wedding album design, your album will go into production to be printed and hand bound. Production usually takes between 3-4 weeks plus allow delivery to your location.

EVELYN + FLORIAN
You’ve taken months to plan your special day down to every last detail, resulting in an overwhelming quantity of gorgeous photos to show for it. An album is a time-capsule to celebrate the day the two of you commit your lives to each other. Saying I-do is a pretty big deal, and we believe by creating a wedding album you are investing in your family. A keepsake that holds all the important moments and beautiful details together in one convenient album.
Time-poor, lack the patience or skills to design your own wedding album? Our photo album design service is perfect for you. You’ll save hours by having an experienced designer create the album, exactly as you envisioned your day unfolding. We understand putting an album together can be an intimidating task:
We’re not saying don’t enjoy your digital photos, just that printed photographs laid out in a gorgeous album on beautiful paper is a different way to experience your treasured memories. Our fine art photo albums will have you falling back in love with your wedding day.
Where do you even begin sorting through hundreds of photos. Putting together a wedding album can feel daunting, but that’s where The Coffee Table Book’s wedding photo curation service comes in. Our designers have close to 20 years experience creating photo albums for wedding photos.
Couples have been trusting The Coffee Table Book to make their wedding album since 2006. We believe in printing photos where each photo can be enjoyed. Hopefully we can share the journey with you in creating your first photo album and treasured family heirloom.
Making a wedding album to hold all your treasured memories that will stand the test of time is an important decision. Determining how many photos you want to include? How to achieve a wedding album design that will be timeless? What will the album cover look like? All questions we can help answer and deliver.
Our wedding album design service includes photo curation and designing beautiful page layouts using your wedding photography. You still get to review the design and make changes to ensure all your favourite wedding photos are included. We will collaborate with you to ensure you are 100% happy before going to print.
All our photo albums include album design because we believe every couple deserves to have a professionally designed album. We also believe its beneficial to step away from designing the album yourself to enjoy the finished album without the frustrations that may arise from the time consuming task of selecting your favourite images or figuring out how to use design software.
We will happily receive your complete set of images and curate them down to a more manageable quantity. Then allow our design team to put together a first draft of your album. All designs include ample revisions, to ensure you’re perfectly happy with the design before the album is sent to print. The cost of the album depends on how many pages are included in the album, you’ll find all the costs in our price guide.
No problem, we’re happy to help guide you. Give us an indication of the style or aesthetic you like, or let our design team surprise you with some options on what that they think would work well with your wedding photos. We’ll work with you until we find something you really love.
Absolutely Yes! During the review process you have ample opportunity to request changes. Once you’re completely happy with the design, we require any final payments owing and then the album design is sent off to be printed.
While most customers are happy with the design after 2-3 rounds, your wedding album is an investment and its important to us that you are 100% happy. We’ll continue to make changes for reasonable requests until you are happy.
Yes. While we include an initial photo curation as part of the service, our 20 years experience means we have built up a good understanding of what images are important to couples, and usually helps minimise unnecessary back and forth with changes, but we will happy add or remove photos from the design during the review process.
We are a design studio so no we don’t allow clients to make changes or design the album. Our past couples love having an experienced photo album designer’s help. If you prefer having more control over the process, a DIY solution that offers templates is probably better suited to your needs.
Our designer will have your first draft to you within 10-15 business days. After this, it depends on how fast you can send us your feedback, change requests are generally made within 5 business days. Once your album design is approved, manufacture takes 3-4 weeks plus delivery.
