Traditional Wedding Albums

The traditional wedding albums I offer are leatherbound, handmade albums.

Not one of them look the same and various configurations are possible.

They are 40cm X 40cm big and have 40 acid-free black photo pages with transparent white pages inbetween. The covers can be made from various types and colours of leather and the white transparent pages also come in various designs. We can discuss exactly what you want during our meetings.

Although coffe-table or story-book wedding albums are all the rage at the moment, I still am very fond of these traditional albums, as they convey a sense of romantisism and posess a timeless sense of beauty. Here are a couple of sample images of an embossed, stained, pig leather album:

Photography Tips

Although night-time wedding photos can be very beautiful, in general you need natural light for the majority of your photos after the ceremony. In order to plan what happens when on your wedding day, you should take into account when the sun sets and the amount of time your photographer needs before and after the ceremony etc.

To assist you with this, we have provided a handy sun rise and sun set table and calculator for you below. Use the table below together with the time requirements you and I have agreed upon to plan your wedding day.

Traditionally, here is who pays for what.

Holger and Urszula – January 2009

Holger and Urszula got married at the Casalinga Restaurant in Muldersdrift. What a lovely venue: a chapel, restaurant and HUGE lawn with a forest at the one end. My ideal combination – good food and a scenic backdrop!

We really enjoyed working with Holger and Urszula. A super cool, down-to-earth couple radiating love for each other. Urszula was very emotional at stages and wacky during our photo shoots.

I am very impressed by the calibre of our grooms. I mean these guys are playing model like it’s their meal ticket. Nice. We roamed around Casalinga’s grounds and had to tear ourselves away from the shoot – otherwise we would’ve stayed for hours!

I absolutely love trees in photos – especially tall, closely spaced ones like we had available at Casalinga.

The melding of German and Polish families was a lovely day with Casalinga being the ideal venue for their small wedding. The food was superb and the scenery something to die for. If you want to get married and have not found your venue yet, give Casalinga a thought.
