The
Wedding Book®
Certain
to impress
Love at first sight.
Combining the uniqueness of the handmade binding, the most advanced digital technologies and the
creativity of professional designers; this is the idea
from which the book originated and it found its natural development in the wedding market, becoming
the wedding book®.
Today, with more than 12 years of experience,, we
have established new qualities and price-oriented
standards, dictating the market rules once again.
From the materials to the production process, from
the customer service to the lead times, every phase is
critical for our combined success.
13
15
The importance of color
The same care for color is devoted
to prestigious projects like the Vatican Museum, or the London National
Gallery, these processes are integrated into
our daily production process of the wedding
book®. Two hundred specialists work on the color correction, design, control, printing and binding
of the books. With more than sixty steps, the whole
production process is handled with the most advanced digital process and printing technologies.
Lasting values
Every Graphistudio book is created to last for many
generations, preserving the photographic work and
retaining its shape and colors. Our exclusive binding
(international patent) guarantees a life long durability
and allows the pages in the book to lay perfectly flat.

High quality

square options available from 16”x16”, 14”x14”, 12”x12”,
