This is a partnered post with Album Envy.
In February of 2015, I married my best friend. We’ve traveled on different cruises, which we’ve shared about on our social media channels and blog, and made the decision to get married on a cruise ship. It was a great day and one I will never forget! While I will never forget the way I felt and how special it was, I still love to look through our wedding pictures over and over again. One of the easiest ways I can enjoy our memories over and over again is by hiring a portrait photographer and creating a gorgeous book through Album Envy.
If you’ve ever created a photo book, you know that there is definitely no shortage of DIY photo book sites. But not all are created the same! I recently discovered Album Envy and found that they are proof of that. By using higher-grade materials and true professional photographic printing, Album Envy delivers an artisan, hand-crafted experience, look and feel unmatched by other popular platforms such as Shutterfly, AdoramaPix, and MixBook Photo Books.
HOW IS ALBUM ENVY DIFFERENT?
Album Envy makes gorgeous photo books and this quality sets them apart from other DIY photo book sites. You’ll find the following features with their books:
- Professional photographic printing delivers vivid color and exceptional clarity compared to digital press-printed books
- True layflat construction means pages are not pinched in the center like most mass-market books.
- No ugly gutter. Some photo books have gaps in the center that interrupt the flow. Album Envy prints truly go edge-to-edge across the pages.
- Album Envy pages are 5-10 times thicker than comparative products on the market.
- Professional portrait-grade photographic papers include lustre and matte finish options.
- Cover materials are heads-above, including genuine leather that is responsibly sourced and eco-friendly fabrics.
- Solid spines, cover liners and fly leaves add an extra layer of stability, protection, and class to the premium line.
- Made in the USA.
Album Envy provides availability online of its professional-grade, customizable photo books and albums aimed at consumers. Album Envy brings an unprecedented combination of affordable price, amazing print quality, and an array of stunning materials and design options to create super-high-quality photo albums and photo books that will dazzle friends and family alike. Products are handcrafted in the USA by artisans using techniques traditionally reserved only for the professional realm.
Album Envy is easy to get started.
New prices are The Photobook, staring at $36, The Hybrid, starting at $49, and a premium option, The Album, staring at $175. Customers simply upload photos, then browse design choices to create their one-of-a-kind album and complete their order in just a few clicks.
Album Envy delivers amazing print quality not found in the familiar digital press-printed photo books created online. For example, Album Envy uses true photographic printing on professional grade photographic paper. These gold standards for professional lab printing reproduce a much wider range of colors, ultra-sharp clarity, and quality presentation compared to digital press-prints.
Moreover, standard consumer-grade books oftentimes include low-quality machine-made covers and full wrap photo covers that will crack with use. Instead, Album Envy provides covers that are hand fitted to each book, and their photo covers are made to last–pairing a full front cover photo with a choice of material including genuine leather, leatherette, or linen.
Album Envy offers hundreds of template styles that can be further customized. Sizes range from 5×5 up to stunning 12×12 and 11×14, including vertical, horizontal, and square formats.
