First K.I.S.S.

So I just received my first album on Christmas Eve. This was designed for the Riviera Maya wedding in August. Josh and Janet decided to go with an album from KISS Wedding Books, and it was a great choice. KISS, as the name implies, keeps their album choices and ordering process very simple. Minimum of 10 spreads (20 pages) and your choice of leather cover. They come in 4 sizes - 8x8, 10x10, 12x12 and the mini KISSES are 4x4. What's cool about their ordering process is that the books are designed so that one design can be printed in any size. So you could order a 10x10 and a 4x4 and they will look exactly the same. That also means that a bride could order a 12x12 for herself, and if her parents or grandparents loved the album, they could order a mini KISS using the same file that the bride used to order hers, and receive an exact duplicate of her album simply scaled down.

So before I shipped the album to Janet I took a quick video of it. I didn't have time to make it exciting because I wanted to get it to her right away, so you might want to turn on some background music while you watch. Filmed with the 7D by the way - I'm starting to get the hang of color correcting in camera and getting all the settings right for nice, high quality HD, although I might have overexposed the second half of the video slightly due to the sun coming right in the window. Anyhow, I hope this gives you an idea of the quality and craftsmenship of the KISS albums.
