Sang Chen Photography is now a proud owner of their first Sample 12×12 leather wedding book!
“Imagine my glee when I got notification that my first ever sample wedding album had arrived! A lot of you have been asking for this, and I’m happy to announce that Shang Chen Photography is proud to partner with KISS wedding books for gorgeous wedding albums. There are many album companies out there. I chose these albums because this is what I would love in a wedding album of my own.
Albums are delivered to my door using rigid cushioning in a large UPS box. The cover options are either 100% full-grain natural leathers or linen covers in 7 solid colors. I chose a 12×12 leather version for my sample because it is more durable and I’m going to be showing it around a lot. Your albums are accompanied by nifty cloth dust covers.”

What really sold her?
“The pages are lay-flat with a micro fold, which means that panoramic photos are seamless, allowing for jaw-dropping large spreads. Each spread is a photographic print that is folded and glued to the middle substrate – this binding process is called flush mount. The leather albums’ pages are hard pages with substrate separating the prints. They are thick and durable. The linen books have flexible pages. Consumer companies like Blurb are press-printed, they use inks and print on paper, and yes, they are cheaper. However, KISS wedding albums have individual pages that are exposed on Fujifilm – this is a true photographic print that will not yellow like paper, is sturdy, and has much more detail upon close examination (doesn’t become pixelated when you put your face up close).”


“Wedding albums are a luxury item because they are a real remnant of your wedding. They are tangible end products of the hours and hours of work you put into your wedding. They exist in a form that you can wrap your hands around, you don’t need to start up a computer or TV to see them. You can see, feel, and relive the moments and colors of your wedding. Who knows whether the DVDs I’m sending you know would be relevant in the future, and if you don’t back them up properly, you could easily break or lose them. Books will always be there.”
Much love, Shang! We can’t wait to get you a few KISS books for your future brides!

Thanks for KISSing!
