#FFF… 3rd August 2012

This week’s photograph is taken from Adam’s recent sample wedding album. This image really stood out mainly for the expression on the groom’s face. It made a nice change seeing a couple look so relaxed and to see the groom taking a sneaky – but very proud – peek at his bride before the ceremony started. It is one of …

#FFF… 27th July 2012

This week’s image is taken from Wendy’s latest sample album, and we have created a little ‘action sequence’ since the image needed its counterpart to really show the humour and beauty of the shot. It is one of those moments that truly capture the joy and energy present in a wedding day. Since the Olympics kicks off tonight, I thought …

Folio Albums Sneak Peek: Bamboo Presentation Box

We are going to launch our Bamboo Presentation Box very soon. Those of you who attended our tour have already had a sneak peek [and even a chance to feel it ‘in the flesh’] but we thought we would do this little blog post just so that everyone can have a chance to check it out before it is released …

#FFF… 20th July

This image is from Louise & Louie’s latest sample album. I loved how it captured a detail utterly unique to the wedding that the photograph comes from, and for the fact that pageboys are quite rare these days compared to flower girls – so it was nice to see something a little different. In a life full of uncertainty sometimes …

#FFF… July 13th 2012

This image is from Lucy’s latest sample album. I loved this cute photo as soon as it came through our upload server, and Lucy happily sent it over for us to use on our blog. After all of the rainy weather lately a summery post seemed needed, and this image goes to show how we all need to see the …

#FFF… July 6th 2012

This image is from Neil’s latest sample album. This idyllic summer photo instantly caught my eye, and in the throes of our incredibly rainy British summer Neil kindly allowed me to use the image on our blog. Summertime always conjures images of relaxed afternoons so here it is, a chilled-out picnic by the lake shot to help wind down your …

#FFF… June 29th 2012

This image is from Anna’s latest client album. This adorable photo instantly caught my eye, and I knew I had to ask Anna if we could use it on our blog. This image reminds us all that at the end of a long day, or a long week, we just need to stretch it all out and relax. So here …

#FFF… June 22nd 2012

This image is from Kelvin’s latest client album. It instantly caught my eye since the photograph portrays both a touching and intimate moment, whilst showing that you don’t always need sunshine to take a beautiful shot. So here it is, to add a little nostalgic feel to this aptly rainy Friday afternoon: Image courtesy of Kelvin McIvor from Kelvin McIvor …

Folio Albums goes paperless?!

Don’t worry, we aren’t talking about the actual albums! Here at Folio HQ we are always trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible and we have now taken one step further to lessen our environmental impact – paperless invoicing. This means that we can reduce the amount of paper that we are using and shipping out to you when …

Folio Albums Presents… Pick & Mix Swatches

Previously only available in complete ranges, we have now revamped our swatch keyrings so that you can purchase them as part of a pick & mix service. At Folio HQ we have had many requests about being able to select certain colours from the cover lines as an ulterior option to purchasing the entire range. Through the pick & mix …

This image is from Claire’s latest wedding album order. I instantly fell in love with it when I saw the spread on the print run and knew that I had to share the photograph on our Lounge. So here it is, to add a little magic and sparkle to your Friday afternoon: Image courtesy of Claire Morgan from Claire Morgan …

Folio Albums Presents… 6×6 Main Albums

Previously only available as duplicates, or Mini Copies, our 6″x6″ albums have now joined the ranks of our larger Main Albums.

Tour Stop 8: Leeds

Stewart has written the final tour stop blog post for Friday’s Leeds date where he got to hang out with our last tour pal – the lovely Annemarie King. Just a few days after Stewart finished his tour, the Queen started her own tour down the Thames – and everyone from Team Folio hopes that you are having a great …

Tour Pal Model Photographs… Mandy Carter

Mandy kindly attached us some fantastic images she took of her daughter, April, at yesterday’s Cambridge date! It seems that our tour pals couldn’t help joining in the photography fun! Thank-you Mandy!

Tour Stop 7: Cambridge

Yesterday Stewart and Van Outen arrived at the next stop of the tour surprisingly early because the traffic from West London to Cambridge was incredibly clear. This gave Stewart time to wander around in the nearby village and he soon attracted the attention of passing locals [even non-photographers can’t wait to join our Freedom Tour!]. It seems that our Tour …

Tour Stop 6: West London

Yesterday Stewart and Van Outen stopped in West London for the sixth day (and location) of the tour. Kate Hopewell-Smith and (a rather belated) Stuart Cooper joined the Folio Freedom Tour for the day and they were both fantastic, hanging out and sharing their experiences with all of the photographers who attended. Our West London attendees were very excited by …

Folio Tour Pal… Annemarie King

Annemarie King is our Folio Freedom Tour pal for our Leeds date. While Cris Matthews kicked off the tour with Stewart last Friday in Newcastle, we are rounding things down with Annemarie in Leeds. Annemarie absolutely loves (LOVES) her work as a wedding photographer – so much so that she never wants to call it her job. Annemarie sees the …
