Flicking through a hand-bound Andrew Tallon wedding album, printed by Pistachio Studio
Wedding albums

Made by hand,
printed on real photo paper.

Film was made to be printed. I’ve never seen a better way to look at a photo, and I’m proud to share that experience with you.

My hand-designed albums encourage you to interact with your photos slowly and purposefully, in the highest quality.

From elopements to full weekends, I deliver an album for every wedding I shoot.

The albums
A grey linen wedding album open to two photographs from a Danish wedding
A handwritten gift tag and a sage green linen wedding album with a leather nameplate
A pale blue keepsake envelope from a Pistachio Studio wedding album, styled on a pegboard background
A hand-illustrated gift tag with a blue floral design, tied with blue ribbon
A close-up of a hand-stamped heart tooled into a tan leather album cover

The physical album delivery was an absolute delight. We always look forward to showing guests who come over to the house the photo album, and they always remark just how beautiful the presentation is.

Rita Leal from Pistachio Studio, Album Designer

Rita Leal

Rita is a Portuguese designer based in Copenhagen. She designs albums for memories that people want to keep.

Using your wedding photos and bits and pieces from the day, she sources fabrics and creates bespoke insets to make your album personal and beautiful.

She has hand-designed every album I have delivered.

Album sizes

An album comes with every package.

Custom fabrics, leather-stamped titles with your names and the date, and an envelope in the inset for speeches, invitations and polaroids.

Album questions

Yes. The album is the centrepiece, but you also get my selected and edited scans in high resolution for print and web resolution for everything else.

Extra albums are available on all packages. It’s best to order these on booking as you’ll receive a discount - mention it in your enquiry form. Albums can be ordered later, but we still recommend ordering before the wedding day. Rita can’t guarantee the same material will be available if ordering after the main album is designed.

Rita works hard to incorporate your existing designs and style choices from the wedding. If you have clear preferences on materials or colours, she’s happy to give you options to choose from.

If they’re shot on film, oh yes! Send me the link to your scans (or the physical Instax prints) and I’ll incorporate them into the album. I also offer a reusable camera service as an optional extra on packages where I won’t shoot through the whole party - mention it in your enquiry form if you’re interested.

Respectfully, no. I’m committed to presenting my work in what I believe is the best way possible.

For anything containing my images, no, that is an inclusive service. We do offer deals on extra albums which you can mention in your enquiry form. For anything else, absolutely yes! Rita is brilliant to create with. I can also recommend her work on kids albums when the time comes.

After thorough testing across several labs, I use Hørsholm Foto for all my prints. They use industry-standard Fujifilm printers and paper and are knowledgeable across both print and film.

Not yet, but I’m researching the area and working on new offerings. If you are a film enthusiast and interested in these services, please mention this in your enquiry form and we may be able to do some testing!

Package deals and extras

One for Mum and Dad. Or tipsy love notes by the dance floor.

Extra albums

A second 25 × 25cm for parents is the usual one. Cheaper if you add it when you book.

Guest book

Somewhere for people to write on the night.

Disposables and Instax

If it was shot on film I can put it in the album. Send me the scans or the prints.
