Most popular albums
Of the seven albums in the Bellissimo collection, the three most popular are the Bellissimo Perfetto, Classico and Fine Art. These three albums are particularly popular for wedding clients.
As our most popular album, this is layflat in design, meaning you can feature showstopping images across two pages without a page break! With 16 sizes and a huge selection of cover materials and colours, you have endless choice in design with this storybook album.
This traditional wedding album features a centre page break and is available in a huge range of covers and colours. With three page finish options and a number of design choices new to the Bellissimo range including non-padded covers and end sheet colour, you can create the perfect wedding album for clients.
For an added bit of luxury to clients’ wedding packages, the Bellissimo Fine Art is perfect. Its subtle rounded corners and tactile Cotton Smooth pages make this album a real statement piece. Available in a selection of covers and sizes, this gorgeous display makes a really special keepsake.
Album Downscales
When building photography packages for clients, remember we offer a selection of matching downscales to main albums for a discounted price. You can save 50% on a duplicate main album and opt for an additional Pro Book, two Memento books, and five Mini Books! Check out the ‘Downscales’ tab on each album’s product page to discover which downscales will be available for your main album.

Popular Sizes
The most popular sizes with wedding photographers are 12×12″ and 14×10″ landscape. You can find at least one of these popular sizes across our entire Bellissimo collection. However, if you are looking for smaller or even bigger albums to offer, select album styles are available for you. We believe these two sizes are the most popular because when you’re offering a wedding album to clients, you want it to be a showstopping keepsake they can cherish. These two sizes offer you the chance to showcase your gorgeous images on the big stage!
Print Finishes
There are four print finishes available across select albums in the Bellissimo collection. These include photographic finishes Gloss, Lustre and Metallic and the fine art Cotton Smooth paper. When it comes to selecting a print finish for your album, there are a range of factors that affect your decision; you may want a paper that matches the overall aesthetic of your images, your clients may already have decided they want a particular finish, or budget could also be a factor. If you or your clients are unsure about which paper type to select, we are here to help. You can order a Paper Selector from our samples section. This lets you see and feel all our available paper types. Alternatively, you can order a FREE test print in our four finishes to see what suits your images best. Lustre is currently the most popular paper type with clients, perhaps because of its classic, familiar style. Cotton Smooth is another client favourite because of its tactile texture. Photographic Metallic will make your images pop with colour and Gloss adds a gorgeous reflective sheen.

NEW Paper Thickness Options
We are always trying to make our award-winning Bellissimo collection even better for you, and we were thrilled to recently announce new paper thickness options for the Perfetto, Fine Art and Luxe albums. You can now opt for single, double or even triple thick pages. Page thickness can add a touch of luxury to your album and is a perfect feature to add for higher end clients.
Cover Styles & Materials
Across the Bellissimo collection, there are so many different cover styles and materials to choose from. This gives you all the freedom of design you need to tailor each wedding album to perfectly suit each couple. Our top three most popular cover styles are; Material – this is a simple, classic cover for wedding albums. Opt for an added personalised message on the front cover to make this even more special. Acrylic – this style consists of a gorgeous acrylic image on the front with a material spine and back of your choice. This creates a really eye-catching keepsake for clients. The other most popular cover is the Alumini cover. If you are familiar with our Alumini wall product, you will know an Alumini cover on an album will be truly striking. Opt for one of four print finishes and your choice of material spine for this modern cover design.
