The Coffee Table Book offers a done-for-you service, taking the stress out of the magazine or photo book 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 professionally printed, high-end photo book or magazine without the hassle of designing the photo book or magazine yourself.
All it takes is a few clicks. Head over to our online shop, select your desired magazine or photo book, or shop by cover design or style kit and number of pages to get you started.
We will contact you to obtain your photos and any other information required to design your book . 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 select sufficient images for the first draft of the book design. Our designer will then design your magazine or photo book using the selected images creating 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 book design process, we also send you several magazine or book cover mockups. Includes 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 book design. Only when you are 100% happy and approve your magazine or photo book design will we send your design off to be printed and bound.
On approval of your book design, your magazine or photo book will go into production to be printed and bound. Production usually takes between 2-3 weeks plus allow delivery to your location.
