The Whistler Book ....

We just love our new Whistler Book! ...And I love this wedding by A Bryan Photo too! The entire story that this album tells is just beautiful. The snowy, romantic wedding day at this small church in the country is stunning. There is a wonderful combination of simplicity, elegance and beauty that is contrasted with raw, natural, rustic materials. I just love the elegance of the bride and her dress against the snow with the barns in the background. Even the bride's snow boots are elegant!

The entire album feels so romantic with the images and the covers wrapped in an elegant bookbinding fabric and protected with our Cypress Presentation Box. I love the thought of their children someday opening this box and having this beautiful album unveil the beauty and story of their parents wedding day. Yes, once again I am a hopeless romantic!

Prepping for Cypress...

Okay, my daughter is a little young, but I am hopeful that we will work together someday! She loves to make books!?! I always love when my kids get to drop in on a Cypress photo shoot. And, of course, I can't resist sharing some of the images...

Thank you Yvette!

New Imprinting from Cypress...

We are so excited about our new imprinting font. Our new font is Agency Gothic. It's simple, clean and larger than our Edinburgh font. The images show it blind embossed on our 10x10 Presentation Box. The font can also be stamped in matte silver and matte gold. It's a great new font! We are sure that you will love it as much as we do!

The Iris Book & The DVD Folio

I love this combination of colors and images. This is one of my favorite wedding books photographed by Jose Villa. The Iris Book and The Folio were created with the light plum fabric. The Presentation Box was created with the ivory brocade fabric and dark gray ribbon. The plum, ivory and gray colors all compliment this beautiful wedding. Adding the folios make this a complete heirloom set all in one box!

If you need help choosing colors, don't hesitate to call us! We love to make suggestions. You can also send us or email a few images and we can make suggestions from the images too. As a boutique album company, we love that we get to have this personal contact and help you put your samples and orders together!

The Cypress Album & DVD Folio

I love these images of The Cypress Album. This matted album is a timeless, sophisticated, hierloom album. There are many layout options and we can create specific layouts just for you! The pages have beautiful, naturally deckled edges and The Cypress Album comes with a Presentation Box to store and protect the album for many generations.

At Cypress we have built a reputation for customizing your products so they look exactly like you want them. So let us know if would like more (or less) options on your book that you don't see on our order form. We are always happy to create and give your album that special look that fits your images! We can also create and custom design different album styles.
