Unique products, uniquely crafted
Album Epoca's unique product design is a unique selling point, completely created inside the company. In search of the perfect product, it continues to seek out new materials to meet modern couples' demands for fashion, glamour and uniqueness.
Its motto for its albums and books is 'Art into Art': namely the art of the photographer telling the story with their images, matched with its own high quality manufacturing and design to create everlasting memories.
There are seven album ranges to choose from with Album Epoca, including Evolution (described as a sleek, glamorous and sophisticated wedding album), Retro (a journey into the designs of the 1940's and 60's), Contemporary (providing a luxury fashion finish), Tradition (classic yet with a contemporary touch), Pure (minimal lines and refined designs), Next (a modern design to suit both male and female tastes) and 'Eventalbum', the last offering bright colours suited to albums of child and teenager portraits.
There is also a 'Wedding Concept' package. This includes the main album, albums for the parents, best friends and friends; all an exact duplicate inside the book but with the opportunity to choose different colours.
The professional coffee table photo book options are meanwhile split between 'EventBook' and 'CompatBook'. These offer covers that can be
Advertising Feature personalised, therefore allowing you to extend your range of professional services to cover a wide variety of subject matter if so desired. They are suitable for christenings, communions, family, portraits, still life, fashion, sports, art and other events.
The 'EventBook' is described as the most eclectic Album Epoca Book offered, and can be chosen from a selection of different formats, paper and cover types. The cover is available in three different versions: printing can be requested on matte coated paper with paperback binding, on matt coated paper with UV varnish and paperback binding, or on matte photographic paper with flexible page binding.
The CompatBook meanwhile is printed on matte photographic paper with continuous page binding. Page counts run from 10 pages up to 40 pages with a laminated photographic paper cover. Album Epoca's photo books can also be elegantly packaged in a cardboard case with matte stainresistant lamination that offers a magnetic closure and a satin ribbon which makes it easier to retrieve the photo book.
A word to the wise about Album Epoca
Apart from albums and photo books, another method of displaying your work comes via exclusive photo frames from the swish AE Frames collection, said to be inspired by art and beauty. Materials used in frame construction include wood, iron, steel and acrylic and again the frames are said to offer a modern feel and an excellent price/quality ratio.
vBut don't take only our word for it: Album Epoca customers include international awarded photographers Bambi Cantrell and Sam Sciarrino, along with Martin. C. Grahame-Dunn, Lisa Beaney, Susan Renee, John Nassari and SWPP member and wedding photographer Lesley Meredith, who says of the company: "With Album Epoca we feel as if we have found the 'designer handbag' of the wedding album world! When I saw them I knew immediately that they were the best for our customers. I was sure that they would love them just as much as we do and I was right. After all, how could they not love Album Epoca's magnificent attention to detail?
"I was so tired of seeing the same old albums that I even spoke to another album company representative to enquire about possibly designing my very own range of 'bespoke' feminine covers. I started to collect satin ribbon, Swarovski brooches and other material to embellish them but I didn't receive a reply!
