We are totally excited and thrilled to announce to our brides that we now offer Queensberry handmade matted Albums!  If you are looking for a matted album, Queensberry is simply the finest there is.

Based in New Zealand, their papers and boards come from environmentally sustainable European mills, made specially for Queensberry to ensure their suitability for long-term photographic presentation.

I just received the 2010 Swatch Book, which shows all the current colours for covers and mattes, and this may sound silly, but the Swatch Book itself is so beautiful that I had to photograph it for the Weekly Article.  I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun with a Swatch Book!  I’ve had it only a few weeks, but I’ve already had 4 orders placed for a Queensberry!

Any company that takes this much love and care on their Swatches clearly cares about what they are producing.  I had the impression that I was being loaned a precious little child, and not just a collection of the 2010 cover options!  I’ve been a fan of Queensberry for many years, and i am delighted to now have the opportunity to offer their Matted Albums to my Brides – the finest matted albums in the world.
