Albums & Prints
In today’s digital age, we take thousands and thousands of photos every week or month – from our little phone cameras, iphones, compact cameras, or DSLRs. But rarely, if ever, do they get printed. Remember the days of film when we had to wait expectantly for photos to be printed so that you could touch and feel the image in your hands? There is some kind of magic in that.
But now, I cannot imagine myself stroking the computer screen with the tips of my fingers, commenting on how lovely the image feels on this paper. If I wanted to show anyone photos, they’d have to sit in front of my computer screen. When I got married 3 years ago, I made my own photo album. In fact, it was more like a scrapbook – where I pasted wedding cards, photos, notes, messages, even ang pow packets with messages on it! I still cherish it till today. It has been passed around, ooh-ed and aah-ed at, had bits of crumbs from biscuits of people looking at the album, to finger prints on the pages. But it’s all part of the memory.
It’s because of this feeling that we at Stories feel that albums are so important. Yes, keep the digital prints, but do not leave out the album. Some say that it will just collect dust under the coffee table. Of course it will. All kinds of objects collect dust. But years from now, my children will flip through those very same pages and remember the story of when their mum and dad got married. They will know that even their grandparents held it once with tears in their eyes.
We have a broad range of albums, ranging from our Classic series to the Luxury series. Our albums vary in size and material. Other than albums, we also provide canvas art prints for you to grace the walls of your home. And, our latest additions – metal prints.
Here are our range of print products available for order:
1. Luxury album – 16″ x 12″ (80 pages) – Sitting beautifully in a hard cover box, the luxury album can fit approximately 350 photos (80 pages) with the option to add more pages. You have various options for cover colours and materials – leather, silk & bukram. Featured below is Ash and Candace’s album in leather cover.
Your name or wedding date can be debossed on the cover of the album.

The paper quality is matte magazine style material.
2. Classic album – 15″ x 10″ (20 pages) – This album comes in a beautiful hard cover box as well. There are a few different choices of album colours in two types of material – silk & vinyl. You can choose a feature photo for the cover. Featured here is Cui & Yi Chian’s red silk album.
The print material is thicker than the Luxury album series. It is firm and doesn’t bend easily. However, there is the limitation of 20 pages for this type of album (you can fit about 80-90 photos).
3. Classic album – 7″ x 5″ (20 pages) – Similar to the one above, this is a smaller cute version that you can purchase for family or friends! The grey / blue album represents how vinyl texture looks like.
4. Chic album series – 11″ x 8.5″ (40 pages) – A handy size for your engagement or family portraits. We have two types of albums in this series, the Portrait & Guestbook albums. Featured below is the Chic Guestbook where you can have a combination of photo album + guestbook, all in one!
Designed and customized for you, you can invite your guests to write a message in the album.

The paper material is similar to the Luxury album series, which enables you to add pages as you see fit.
5. Metal Prints – A unique display for the wall of your home! Printed on aluminium, the colours are striking and eye catching. Order by the number of squares. Instead of printing one large image, you can also do a photo montage, where each square is a different photo. The size of the print is only limited by the size of your wall.
Joined together with C shaped hooks, it is easy to assemble.
You can hang it off your ceiling, or against your wall. Comes with a metal rod.
6. DVD covers – Your wedding photos are delivered in a beautifully crafted DVD casing. Warning: It doesn’t come with instructions on how to tie ribbons!! :)
7. Canvas art prints & Matte Photo Prints – If you like the canvas art print look or just a simple matte print of your image, we are able to cater to that in various sizes as well. Canvas art prints come with a wooden mounting. For matte photo prints, frames are not included.
