It was a perfect day celebrated with close friends and family. Their album has edged pages and protective corners, unique to any Classic Matted Album.

We love hearing about the different ways people sell their images and we love that we get to add value to their brand. Below is a series of matted prints photographed by Rachel Russell, based in Marlborough NZ. Rachel sells her prints at the Mistletoe Market in Blenheim, South Island, NZ.

The fabric was so delicate that it couldn't be dry cleaned and I To View More >>

I am always 'oohing' and 'aahing' over destination weddings, and when I came across Brian and Delara’s Bali wedding it was no exception.
