Benjamin James Photography

Today's featured album is a 30 side, 12x12 Finao Album from Benjamin James Photography based in Columbus, Ohio. Benjamin was a 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 pick for Best of Weddings on The Knot. We were inspired by the beautiful bride and groom and gorgeous outdoor images. The bride and groom selected 104 images that were "must-use" for this album. Go ahead and count them, we dare you!

He has been "Among DC's top photographers" from 2000-2012, featured on the Grace Ormonde Platinum list, The Knot Best of Weddings 2008-2012 and Brides Choice Award Winner 2010-2012.

Another one of our awesome clients, Baltimore Wedding Photographer, Dennis Drenner, recently came to us with a gorgeous set of images for a client's album. For this album, Dennis chose Leather Craftsmen and wanted a clean, white style. His wedding photographs have won accolades in photo contests by Brides Magazine, the WPJA, and the ISPWP and he has been a favorite of brides in both the Knot and WeddingWire annual surveys. He has photographed destination weddings in Colombia, Mexico, Italy, Florida and California. You can view the album here.

Jack Randall Photography

Jack Randall is an award winning photographer located in Dana Point, California. He gave us carte blanche to design a new sample venue album for his studio using several different events. We made this 12” x 8” sample modern and hip by going with a clean design and limited images. The album is currently in production at Finao with their "Ice" Cover, "Krumble" Accent.

"Did you know..."

Michael Bonfigli, recently shot a wedding at The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The album features many creative shots and a beautiful bride & groom. One creative idea that caught our designer's eye was their custom cocktail napkins. With cute sayings like "Did you know Howard and Hannah love jazz?", "Did you know Hannah's engagement ring was secretly designed in Australia?" and "Did you know Howard proposed during breakfast?"

Flipbooks are fun!!

Wedding albums have come a long way in the last decade. One of our favorite types of albums to design is a flipbook. Shadowlands Photography in Fort Wayne, Indiana, had us design a 20x8 Finao ONE flipbook; 22 spreads, 83 images with an ICE cover for their client. If you haven't checked out Finao's unique sizes and cover options lately you should! Making your job easier, KOBO is setup to order your album and submit your files directly with Finao. You can view Shadowland's flipbook by clicking here.

Happy Holidays

Chester and the staff of KOBO would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays. It's been a great year, filled with many memorable images and albums. We are looking forward to 2011...Cheers!!
