New pricing for AsukaBook Wedding albums

Since I began offering Wedding Albums from AsukaBook last year, they've become extremely popular with my clients. The quality of the books is even better than that of photo art books you would buy at a book store and combined with a custom design unique to each wedding, I've found them to be great sellers.

Unfortunately, I've always found the albums hard to price. They're quite expensive for me to purchase and have printed and each album takes several days to design properly. I used to offer various sizes and styles and the prices were all over the place. I decided for 2007 that I'll be following the trend set by most other wedding photographers and charging per page. This keeps everything simple and simple is always good.

I'll be charging $50 per page for 10 x10 Hard Cover Book Bound EX Laminate Bridal Albums and $25 per page for 5x5 Hard Cover Book Bound EX Laminate Parent Albums. Clients can choose between books of 30, 40, 60 and 80 pages. I'm still carrying other AsukaBook products, but those will only be used for Signature Guestbooks and for Senior Portrait Albums.

In case you've never seen an AsukaBook, I'm posting a few photos from their website.

What I love about their books is that, unlike the wedding albums of years past, they are truly art books. Most other wedding albums are matted albums (which are simply photographs slid into the hard pages) or flush mount (which are photographs "glued" to the pages). With AsukaBook, you have a completely professional product which is not only beautiful, but one which will last for decades to come.
