Our wedding photographer offers albums made by Graphi Studio and by Leather Craftmen.  The Leather Craftsmen albums are double the price of the same size leather album made by Graphi Studio.  I have read that Graphi Studio's  service is difficult for the photographer and that they aare very slow in getting the album out.  But how about the final product.  Is the Leather Craftsmen's product really twice as good?  TIA for any input,  Kisa

YES! YES! YES!

GraphiStudio albums in my studio are falling apart and they won't do anything about it. They cost me $3k in mistakes one year (2008) that were THEIR fault and they wouldn't even apologize.  They are a horrible company and I'm sorry I have to say that. I used them for 7 years and so sorry that I did because my couples' albums are not warrantied with them.  It's so sad.

I have used LeatherCraftsmen since 2000 and only had one album with an issue EVER (I've bought over 200 albums with them).  They guarantee everything, are quick to catch problems and if they don't, they are fast to correct them.  There's a reason they have been around for over 50 years. Seriously, some of my bride's parents have LC albums!

Another good company is Finao. I switched to Finao in 2010 and they have been great.  A wee bit less than LC for some things, more for others. I honestly just love their unique cover options, too.

But you cannot go wrong with LC. Love them.

Thanks so much for your reply Doolittle.  i appreciate your input.
