YOUR STORY IN YOUR STYLE
No matter what your style Ayer Photography will blend modern and traditional modes of expression
in photographs to tell your story in a unique record that will be treasured for years to come.
Whether you prefer a traditional padded leather Elite album, our premium Tuscany flush-mounted
collage album, the latest in press-printed coffee-table PhotoBooks, or a digital proof book, we will capture and
preserve your memories in a style true to your artistic sense.
An overview of the various types of albums and folios we offer is as follows:
THE TUSCANY PREMIUM PHOTOBOOK (FLUSH-MOUNT ALBUM)
Our highest quality PhotoBook features the premium quality of our traditional Elite albums, but the look
and feel of the modern coffee table PhotoBook. Photographic ProCustom collages are flush-mounted without mats on rigid
pages that open flat. When open flat, the gutter between facing pages is an industry-leading mere 1 mm, enabling true
two-page panoramas. Page corners are rounded for added beauty and durability. For additional elegence and protection
of your precious memories, each PhotoBook is delivered in a velvet lined presentation box.
Like the modern coffee-table books below, this exquisite PhotoBook is available in multiple size
sets -- 12-inch x 12-inch for the Bride and Groom, exactly scaled duplicates at 10-inch x 10-inch for the Parents, an 8-inch
x 8-inch for other close relatives and friends; and finally a 5-inch x 5-inch keepsake / brag book. The hand-crafted covers
are available in eight (8) possible colors and a choice of four (4) different matierials. Each PhotoBook
may have between twenty (20) and forty (40) pages.
THE LIBRARY-BOUND ELITE CLASSIC ALBUM
High quality hand-crafted padded leather covers and mylar edged pages developed and refined to satisfy
the most discriminating of customers. This is your album if you favor the classic premium presentation to tell your
story. In the 12-inch x 12-inch format these albums can hold from 20 to 50 pages, each with 1 to 4 photographs
in a wide array of mats; the covers come in four (4) possible colors.
For those customers who do not require the flexibility of such a large album, we also offer special
20 page versions that hold only vertical 8x10s, or vertical 5x7s at substantial savings over the 12x12 version.
Lastly, we offer folios with either two or three 12x12 panels. Each panel has a padded back
and utilizes the same mats as the Elite 12x12 album above. This makes a wonderful formal table-top portrait display.

THE MODERN COFFEE TABLE PHOTOBOOKS & DIGITAL ALBUMS
Many of our customers, however, opt for the more modern coffee-table PhotoBook. These
PhotoBooks are lighter and thinner, yet can display many more pictures in a nearly unlimited number of ways. The most
significant advantage to these books, however, is the ability to produce same or smaller size duplicates at substantial savings.
Wedding customers, for example, often order complete sets: a 12-inch x 15-inch PhotoBook for the Bride and Groom, 9-inch
x 11-inch PhotoBooks for their parents, and 6-inch x 8-inch versions for the wedding party and grandparents.
The larger PhotoBooks are hard-cover and bound in a variety of cover materials including multiple
colors of leather and multiple colors and styles of linen. The smallest PhotoBooks are Paperback. Pages
are printed on 80# archival, acid-free glossy cover stock paper. In the Deluxe PhotoBook, each page is essentially
a full-bleed 11-inch x 14-inch photograph. When these pages are professionally designed as Pro-Custom collages a typical
32-page PhotoBook can incorporate over 200 original photographs.

Our series of bound PhotoBooks featuring Pro-Custom Collages are rapidly becoming our most popular
offerings, particularly for our wedding photography customers. The collage captures more than a single expression or
moment. As noted above, a typical 32-page PhotoBook of Pro-Custom Collages will often incorporate over 200 individual
photographs combined in a way that every page becomes a work of art, bringing emotions and the people who participated in
them alive in a way no single photograph can. In our Deluxe offering every page of the bound PhotoBook is essentially
an 11"x14" photograph. If you have never seen an example of one of these PhotoBooks, you owe it to yourself to give
us a call and experience it for yourself.

PROOF BOOKS -- DIGITAL
For those customers who simply want a book of the best 200 or 300 proofs, we have two offerings.
The first is a 12" x 12" Digital Proof Book. This is a 100 page Digital Album
containing the "best 300" proofs as selected by the customer. They are laid out in a variety of template pages, with
the best pictures utilizing a whole 12"x12" page. In the case of a wedding proof book, one page is also dedicated to the
wedding vows. The book is available with glossy hard covers on which a photographs from the event is printed,
or more traditional leather with a cameo window.
The second is a 8" x 8" Digital Proof Book. This is a 100 page Digital Album
containing the "best 200" proofs as selected by the customer. They are laid out in a variety of template pages, with
the best pictures utilizing a whole 8"x8" page. In the case of a wedding proof book, one page is also dedicated to the
wedding vows or a special reading from the ceremony. This book is also available with glossy hard covers on which
a photographs from the event is printed, or more traditional leather with a cameo window.

For those who like the "country," or less formal feel, or the sheer uniqueness of a hand-made custom
craft, we previously offered fully embellished custom Perfect Scrapbooks. Each 12-inch x 12-inch page was
custom crafted with 3-D textures and artstic colors to highlight the pictures selected in a way only our beautifully designed
scrapbooks could do.
Because of the greatly improved availability of acid-free thematic components, many of
our wedding and event customers are now opting to design their own scrapbooks. As a result our Perfect Scrapbooks
are no longer a standard offering.
On request, however, we will customize our service to assist in design or digitally prep and
resize pictures for more effective incorporation in our customers scrapbook design(s). A small sample of some of
our prior designs can be seen in our online gallery.
