Albums with Clay House

Your photos deserve to be printed…

Did you really pay all that $$$ for a photographer so some images could just sit on your computer as tiny data files? Be honest…

Didn’t think so.

The power of print is real! We are excited you agree and that you want to get more information on how to create an album. We have laid it all out on this page!

I. The Process

When you create an album with us - there are two ways it can go. You can either choose to design the album yourself or have us design it for you. Let’s look at each of those options below.

Option I - Design it yourself

Designing an album on your own is suuuuper simple. Once we have edited your images, we will return them through an online Pic-Time gallery. Pic-Time has a Shop feature within your gallery that allows you to create print products including calendars, ornaments, frames, and - of course - albums. Once you have selected the type of album from the Shop, you will be prompted to select the size and cover material. At the bottom of this page in the “Arrange photos” section, click on the first icon to begin designing your album cover. Here you can customize the book by choosing the cover color as well as any text and how it will appear (engraving, text color, font, etc.) Finally, navigate through the pages of your album and choose the layouts and images…it’s that easy! If you are already a Clay House client, head over to your Pic-Time Shop to get started!

Option II - We design it for you

If you choose to have us design the album for you, there is a lot more freedom and potential for the design. Avoid any stress that may come with making your own design and let us run with it. We will collaborate with you in the beginning stages to better understand your vision, but ultimately we will make all of the design decisions. When opting for custom design, you unlock wayyyyy more options as well- more cover materials and colors, cover debossing (so cool), and even a cameo cover - just to name a few. We will present you with these additional options and you will know any additional fees up front. When we have finished your design, we will send it over for your review so you can make sure you LOVE it before we send it to production.

Let’s Get Designing

no matter which option you choose...

• You have the choice to add on a Mini. These smaller versions are the exact same design, but much more affordable and great for gifts. We have seen wedding clients add on a couple Minis to gift to each set of parents. A great way to say thank you! To add a Mini when designing yourself, simply find the product in your Shop and add it to the cart. If opting for custom design, we will be sure to ask if you would like any Minis. Please note that these are only available if a Layflat album is selected as the main design.

• We review all designs before sending them to production to make sure no blatant mistakes were made (words misspelled on cover, duplicate photos, etc.). Once the album is reviewed, we will send it to RedTree to be crafted. You should expect your album to arrive in the mail in about a month from the time it enters production!

II. The Product

We work exclusively with RedTree for the production of our albums. This company prides themselves in handcrafted products and the quality is unmatched. We couldn’t be happier to be partnering with them.

III. The Pricing

We offer two different types of albums (Layflat and Fine Art) and three different sizes for each. Listed below are the prices for each type and size assuming the most basic cover type (Linen) and 10 spreads. Additional spreads can be added if desired. Please note - we run many sales throughout the year!

Why invest in a wedding album?

Every year, we capture thousands of moments for couples all over the country. And when we say “thousands,” we literally mean thousands of photos at any given wedding—all in an effort to get those few shots you’ll have and remember forever. Seriously, is there a bigger and more meaningful day than one’s wedding?

The answer might be “No,” but at Clay House we know of a day that is a close runner-up.

We call it “Delivery Day” and it’s the culmination of our team’s hard work. After the wedding is over, and the pictures are snapped, and the photos are edited . . . we send each Clay House couple a web link to their downloadable images to cherish for a lifetime.

That is . . . as long as the internet exists.

Which, by the way, we don’t see going extinct anytime soon. HOWEVER, what if it did? (Pretend with us for a moment). What if a husband and bride want to relive their special day without having to sift through emails and webpages to find that one photo that transports them back to the altar?

Clay House has you covered.

We’ve gone beyond the flash drive to offer something not just for the bride and groom, but for their kids, grandkids, friends, and family. It’s something so crazy that it’s never been thought of before (JK, it has). But we have taken every measure to solidify something you will have forever:

A professionally designed Clay House Wedding Album.

You have worked your tails off planning for the special day, but why should one’s wedding be the finish line? Instead, we think that’s when life begins as husband and wife! Our Wedding Album will help you relive that wonderful moment—when you started life as a couple, and celebrated with your favorite people on earth. Here is the feedback we’ve received after perfecting our Clay House Wedding Album with other couples:

• Couples wanted a “non-digital” option for photos, and we offered it at an affordable price.

• Couples needed a high-quality album from a trusted source—why not the same company who took the photos in the first place?

• Couples craved a “coffee-table-worthy” book so they could easily access wedding photos year-round.

• Couples hosted wedding guests later that year for dinner, and got to laugh as they re-lived that special day.

• Couples desired their favorite digital photos in print form, and we were able to help them after weeks of sifting through those options.

We’ve made this album beautiful. We’ve made this album forever-proof. We’ve made this album with you in mind.

Those thousands of photos we capture at any given wedding are only as good as the thousands of views they receive throughout the year. And in our humble Clay House opinion . . . 

Views in real life are even better than through a screen.
