This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Ross Rayner-Brown’s latest client album. Once again we have a double feature – but this time it is of a cake cutting shot that is incredibly unique. We often see fun variations of the cake cutting part of the day, but we haven’t seen any other versions where the bride and groom …

This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Yvonne Lishman’s latest client album. Yvonne used the image as the main part of a landscape spread to start the album, and it definitely made for a great opening image and spread. The image has a quirky and beautiful boudoir-album look to it, which made for a unique opening spread that instantly …

This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Jonathan’s latest print order. It’s another example of a twist on a classic photograph. Usually we see a lot of images using a bride and groom’s rings, but this image stood out for taking a new direction/angle on a staple shot and using a bracelet instead. I loved the contrast between the …

This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Andy Rapkins’s latest client album. The image instantly stood out for how it differed to the usual everyone-holding-up-the-bride/groom photographs. This is the first time that we’ve seen a lift-up Grandma photograph – and from her expression it doesn’t look like something that would willingly take off! Usually the people being lifted look …
Laura Silcock on… Christmas Marketing

To help you get into the the business side of the Christmas spirit we asked one of our friends, Laura Silcock, to contribute to our Lounge with some hints and tips for maximising your marketing potential …
Canvas Cover Change
We are currently in the process of refreshing our canvas range for 2013 – and some exciting changes are already underfoot. The Shadow Grey and Foxglove Purple covers proved incredibly popular, but it seems that our bolder and brighter options such as the Fuchsia Pink and Poppy Red were not as popular with your clients. So we’ve decided that for …
Folio Supports: Movember
If you came to see us at this year’s SWPP in January, you may remember the Folio Moustaches that we had on our stand – or at least you may remember Stewart posing with one! Well, since we had some left over, we decided it was time that they were put to good use and sent out in the world …

This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Mandy Carter’s latest client album. The week we have another ‘bumper’ post with an action sequence taken from the album. It is another instance in which signs are used to help tell the story but this time there is one crucial difference – the story is played out as a silent movie …

This week’s photograph is taken from Roslyn Leung’s latest client album, and it is another image which makes use of a sign to provide a sense of story-telling to the shoot. Needless to say the image comes from an engagement shoot for a couple who are actually due to be married very soon. I loved both the sign itself, and …

This week’s photograph is taken from Christy’s latest sample album. After last week’s fairytale album opener, today we have an image that looks as though it could easily illustrate Alice in Wonderland (or even Harry Potter). Life-sized chess/draughts sets are not a rarity, but this is the first one that we have seen featured in a wedding album. Since wedding …
Folio Albums Presents: The Bamboo Box
The wait is finally over. After teasing you on the tour – and with sneak peeks on our Lounge – our Bamboo Presentation Boxes are now live on the store, all ready for you to purchase. Just like our designer bags, they bring something a little more personalised to your packaging experience. The bamboo box can be ordered as either …

This week’s photograph is taken from Gemma & Philippa’s latest client album. The use of signs in wedding images is becoming quite a popular trend – but this image stood out from the rest for its simple, and story-book, nature. The focus remains completely on the sign rather than the couple (the rest of the album gets to showcase their …

This week’s photograph is taken from Annemarie’s latest client album. It’s quite a bumper image but I felt that we needed a mini story with the images to show that this is not just a quirky wedding feature, but that this was the couple’s wedding cake. The bride works in the film industry, and her cake is courtesy of a …
#FFF… 14th September 2012
This week’s photograph is taken from Jordan and Ines’ latest client album. In the world of novelty bride & groom wedding cake toppers this is definitely one of the coolest [and cutest] that we have seen. Through the latest trend of lego figurines, this Batman groom is certainly something a little different! The bride probably felt happy that her own …

This week’s photograph is taken from Art’s latest client album. This image looked really striking and different to what we usually see in a wedding album. It was lovely to see the detail in the dancers’ outfits, and also to see such beautiful wedding day entertainment! The colours just looked so vibrant, and the ladies themselves appeared to be having …
#FFF… 31st August 2012
This week’s photograph is taken from David’s latest client album. The image was used on the last spread as a full landscape layout. The colours looked alive and sparkling that I just had to stop and take note of the image in front of me, and it had a great effect for bringing the album – and the day portrayed …

In honour of the nice long bank holiday weekend we’ve got a bumper edition of Folio Friday Foto this week, with a groomsmen theme. To start off we have an image from Tori Deslauriers latest client album, with the smallest best man I’ve yet to see. I liked how the image was taken from the child’s height, giving you a …

This week’s photograph is taken from Pete’s latest client album. The spread contained shots from outside of the church, and this image instantly stood out for its more comical nature. After the serious part of the day is over, it’s great to see such lighthearted, celebratory, moments happening as soon as the couple have left the church. Sometimes the joy …
#FFF… 10th August 2012
This week’s image is taken from Jay’s recent sample album. The photograph stood out on the spread for its relaxed yet comical nature. Through all of the gold medals Team GB are winning this year it looks like this little girl may grow up to be the next Beth Tweddle! Or at least provide inspiration for how to truly relax …
