We got an email yesterday about Kaila’s first sample KISS!

I couldn’t wait to get home from vacation to see my sample Kiss album
and Little Kiss! It was the first box I opened when I came home–
AMAZING!! I couldn’t help but take my time opening (even though I wanted
to rip into it), it was presented beautifully! I love the album, I LOVE
to show it off, and the little kiss is perfect for my purse! Thanks so
much!
I will be ordering another sample today!
Kaila

Thanks for KISSing!

Hello all you fabulous KISSers!

Design simplification:

We’re frequently asked, “I uploaded files for a 12×12, can I print a 10×10?!” The answer has always been “yes,” but we’d like to make things even simpler for you. From now on, please design all of your albums as a 10×10–no matter what size you’re ordering. We’ve created a new template athttp://www.KissWeddingBooks.com/helpfiles/template.zip and we’ve updated the Layout Help PDF athttp://www.KissWeddingBooks.com/helpfiles/layouthelp.pdf with a few more tips to avoid common problems.

The better shape your files are in, the faster we can turn your book around, and the less headache for you. So, please download and read those help files!

New Change Policy : IMPORTANT

From now on, once a job has been moved into ‘OK to Print’ by our staff (i.e., your files have been uploaded and verified as being proper resolution, size, color, etc.), we will not permit any changes to your order. Some of you may have noticed that your books are shipping earlier and earlier. Our process is speeding up, and changes requested after we’ve moved to ‘OK to Print’ cause major trainwrecks. For most of you, this isn’t an issue; but we’re encouraging you all to think very carefully about your order before submitting it. Ask some of these questions:

• Are you SURE the couple’s name/date correct on any spread you’ve put it on?
• Are you SURE you’ve not uploaded any low-res placeholder images or spreads?
• Are you SURE you’re sending the same version of the file that your client has approved?

If you accidentally order too many or to few spreads, or you want to add a 4×4, or you want to change the leather color–you can still do it, as long as it’s before the job has been approved for printing. We really appreciate your understanding on this issue!

Keep on KISSing! Big changes are coming before the end of the year… We’re excited on what we’re building for you. More soon…

Just wanted to throw up this funny image from KISSer Trevor Meeks:

Some day, Trevor… Some day…

It’s too bad I’m already married, because I would totally ask KISS Wedding Books out on a date in hopes that we would hook up. Thank you so much for getting this thing turned around for me. I can’t wait to see it and show it off.

Look at the hot images posted on his blog!

You rock, Alex! We look forward to many more KISSes!

Thanks for KISSing!

One thing that i love about wedding photography & what i do is the fact that it’s my job to give memories that will last a lifetime. ultimately, the pictures are what matters most. the memories, the people, the moments, the places, the details – all of it. but one favorite part of my job is designing and creating beautiful photo albums. i spent a long time searching for what albums to go with, and i love the quality and simplicity of these albums. the album company is KISS – because they also love keeping it simple. they are beautiful, and i seriously love to pick them up and rub them against my face they are so soft. {weird, i know. but if you get one, you’d do the same. promise.}

I spend time creating a story that flows from page to page, designing it to fit the theme and feel of your wedding. i do the designing myself, but KISS makes it high quality beauty. the pages aren’t flimsy. the leather is real. the color pops. and it just feels good to hold it in your hands or see it on your coffee table. and it even comes with a pretty swirly little cover. in my opinion, it’s wedding album perfection.

so keep it simple, & beautiful! especially when investing in something as valuable and memorable as your wedding album.

Thanks for KISSing!

… and WOW it feels good!! It looks good too! What am I on about you ask? My first KISS wedding album of course!

So far my clients have been loving the coffee table style albums I’ve been designing for them and some opting to buy extra copies for parents as they are so reasonable. One or two couples have wanted something with a little bit more class though and thanks to a “flickr friend” and wonderful photographer in the USA called Gina Emerson I discovered the KISS wedding book. I searched high and low in the UK for one that I didn’t just like but loved and if I hadn’t have been shown KISS I’d still be looking now!

Anyway, enough waffle – here she is!

Each page of this particular book measures 10 x 10 inches to give an overall size of 10 x 20 inches.

The 2 mm thick pages lay flat so you can spread your photos out over the entire side without losing quality in the middle.

The gorgeous leather cover comes in various funky colours – I opted for the safe Voluptuous Black this time!

They come beautifully packaged not in a boring cardboard box but in a gorgeous material bag.

There’s just no way you cannot help but LOVE this book!

Thanks, Nicola for such an awesome post!

Thanks for KISSing!

Hi Kevin & Co,

Received my latest book today and I am totally blown away! I made a few changes to my setup and the prints were almost EXACTLY how they looked on my screen and the images were sharp as a knife!

Don’t know what you guys have been up to but you can really tell this book apart from my others (which I thought were awesome anyway). The Kiss logo on the back, the new packaging, the protective wrapping on the book, the anti dampness sachet, the printed ‘care’ instructions and even the cut on the pages looks better. A long way from the polystyrene party I was having with your boxes last year! J

They really are looking like a beautifully moulded product now. That KISS logo on the back is especially sweet!

Whatever you’ve done it hasn’t gone un-noticed. And of course the customer service still rocks, here’s hoping the pound keeps gaining on the dollar for your UK fans!

Anyway, I’m off to present it to the clients with a big proud smile on my face!!

Thanks again

Craig
