Congratulations To Our Photo Contest Winners!

We want to say thank you to all of you who submitted your images for our Cypress Albums Anniversary Contest. We love seeing all your creative color combinations and images of the Cypress Album! We really had a difficult time choosing one winner, so we decided to have two runners-up (more winners!!!). After much deliberation, the votes are in:


Winner: Sara Dicicco- We LOVE these colors!
The aqua ribbon with the gray and ice blue fabric are a great combination!



Runner-up: A Bryan Photo- Best use of background
We love the chocolate brown with the red fabric.
Its elegance is highlighted with a beautiful background!



Runner-up: Joyce Smith- Great children's album images
This album really captures the beauty and spirit of children!


Our grand prize winner will receive a complimentary new sample Cypress Album, and the runners-up will each receive a 50% discount on a new sample Cypress Album. Congratulations to Sara, Bryan and Joyce!

Again, thanks to everyone who participated and be sure to stay tuned as we celebrate 10 Great Years of Cypress!!! Our next Cypress product contest will feature The Presentation Box & Mats!

Thank You For Your Comments!!!

We always love hearing from our clients. We'd like to share some of the comments that we have recently received...

"I just wanted to let you know that I received my order of new samples the other day, and they are gorgeous! I had to keep peeking back at them because I feel so proud of the way they showcase my work. Just amazing. I had a client meeting this morning and got a big response, so thank you to the team at Cypress for such great artwork and customer service!" -Jessamyn Harris

"Thanks for all the great work that you do for me. Every client loves their albums and I couldn't be happier with all that you do." -Joel Flory

"I just wanted to let you know that I just received my sample photo boxes and opening them was so fun! Your presentation of the product is beautiful. The detail of the vellum wrapping around each box and the silver sticker on the outside, I just hated to open it! Thank you very much! I can't wait to show my clients!" -Melissa Calvert, Vintage Photography

"Thanks so much for all your communication and your help along the way. I am so incredibly impressed by you all at Cypress. I've had some vendors kinda let me down lately, so I'm so thrilled to find a vendor that ROCKS!!" -Jared Wilson

"I received my Cypress Album a few days ago and is it ever breathtaking! My search for an album beyond reproach has ended at last. :) I have been singing your praises and a few of my friends have switched over to the Artisan Book. Exquisite products!" -Joyce Smith
