Our Build To Order Process

First , you should print out the mats pages of the album(s) you are considering. Then you may want to review our Quick Start Guide for helpful hints in laying out your album. When you’re ready to order, choose the album type you wish to order such as the Renaissance Library Bound or Nouveau Classic. Your album choice will determine which options are available during the build process.

Please note that all our albums are shipped direct to you with empty mats. By inserting the pictures in the mats yourself, you can save up to 50% off of studio prices. You do not send us your prints. We provide complete instructions on how you put your album together. It’s very easy. Click here to view the instructions.

Cover styles include windows and embossing	Some Albums offer many colors to choose from. Leather covers are generally available only in black. The color of the Nouveau album also determines the texture.	Renaissance Removable albums allow you to choose the color of your base page and any corner adornments. Base pages for Library bound albums are matched to the cover color.
The Nouveau Albums allow you to choose your cover’s embossing style.	All album types require you to choose your mats. You need to choose mats for each side of each page in your album. If your album is 20 pages, you’ll need 40 mats. Except for the 11x14 and 14x11 Nouveau, all mats are square and can be rotated to be used vertically or horizontally.	We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

If you need more time to choose your mats, you can save your album to My Albums. Then at any time, you can come back and continue selecting mats or even change some of the features of your album.

In about 10 days, you’ll receive your album (except for Nouveau albums – please allow 5 to 7 weeks). You can then watch the story of your wedding come to life as you place each precious photograph in your new album.
