Engraving Photo Album?

Posted by Dan Wagner Photography & Video

Ask your photographer if he can send your album to his album maker so they can stamp your names and date on cover in gold or silver foil. I think this is what you mean by engraving.

i doubt they can, they would charge me a fortune since they charge for every little thing. and the woman didnt' mention that when i said that the album wasn't engraved when i went to pick it up.

It's very standard to have your album stamped. All my albums include stamping.

You should ask them to stamp the album for you. It's best that their album maker stamp the album because they would be responsible in case the stamping was flawed. I don't know your specifics, but it's hard to imagine any photographer passing up a chance to generate some goodwill with a bride. Just ask your photographer to take care of it for you -- there's nothing to loose by asking. Good luck.

Here's a place in NYC that makes portfolios for commercial advertising photographers:

The House of Portfolios Co. Inc.
52 West 21st Street
New York, N.Y. 10010
USA

Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 9:00am- 6:00pm Fri. 9:00 am- 5:00pm EST
Tel. (212) 206-7323 Fax: (212) 633-2247

Here's another place in NYC:

I believe both places will do retail work. Wedding album makers will only work wholesale directly with photographers -- which is why I've recommended the above 2 places. You should be able to get the stamping done for around $30.
