The Matted Album

A traditional and luxury matted photo album, handmade in the UK, available worldwide.

The best way to preserve your wedding photos is in a luxury album, designed to last.

Ensuring your wedding day is remembered goes beyond simply taking photos—it’s about creating something tangible that lasts. As technology quickly evolves, the enduring nature of printed photographs stands strong. Your wedding pictures capture some of life’s most heartfelt moments, surrounded by the friends and family who mean the world to you. Such precious memories deserve an elegant display that keeps them safe far beyond the momentary view on a phone or tablet.

Redefining the standard in matted wedding albums

A traditional album style made with premium quality, trusted by professional photographers

Luxe Albums are handcrafted to the same exacting standards as the professional-grade albums we create for photographers at Folio Albums. Using premium materials, meticulous techniques, and museum-grade printing, these books are designed to stand the test of time. Unlike high-street or budget options, every album is a bespoke creation, built to preserve your memories beautifully for generations.

Our handcrafted Matted Albums combine the timeless appeal of a traditional album with a modern edge, making them a favourite among those looking for a classic and timeless wedding book, especially our clients in the US.

Your images are expertly overlayed with mats of conservation-grade board. Each aperture becomes a window through which the viewer can take time to appreciate the images. Each page includes six hand-assembled layers, measuring a substantial 2.5mm in thickness, giving it a durable and premium quality. The lay-flat design and flush trimming offer a seamless, professional finish that feels both classic and modern.

Bevelled overlay mats and archival fine art paper

Our museum-grade paper and pigment ink printing ensure your images will look as stunning 100 years from now as they did the moment you first opened your album. Unlike some high street printing your images won't yellow or fade over time. 

Fine art paper not only looks exquisite but also feels luxurious, with a velvety texture that adds to the tactile experience.

The handmade Matted Album has a traditional style due to the beautiful bevel cut mats that frame each image. This results in a sturdy 2.5mm final page, giving it the heavyweight feel of a high-quality wedding photo book.

Matted Album Sizes 

The Matted Album is available in two formats - square and landscape. The sizes you can choose from are 10x10" and landscape 14x10".

    Perfect for those who love a clean, symmetrical look, this square format offers balanced layouts that look at home on a coffee table or tucked neatly into a shelf. Its manageable size is easy to handle and share with friends and family, while still offering plenty of space to showcase your wedding day highlights. The timeless square shape also keeps your album adaptable to a variety of image orientations.
