The Zook Book
In previous blogs, we have talked about keeping things simple when offering wedding albums to your clients. Overwhelming customers with too many decisions doesn’t make for a great experience. Helping your couples easily select their favorite images, approve their album design, and decide between one or two different album styles keeps things stress-free.
However, before you can start selling wedding albums to all your brides and grooms, you’ll need to have an understanding of the different types of albums available to you. In this professional wedding album spotlight, we’ll go over the unique features of Zookbinders’ Zook Book and why your clients will love this premium album.
What’s with the Name?
The Zook Book is a beautifully handcrafted wedding album that is so special, it bears part of their company’s name, Zookbinders. Admittedly, if we had to choose between all the album styles we offer, the Zook Book would have to be the favorite child. Its classic beauty and contemporary cover options have been wowing clients since 2005. The attention to detail and the quality of materials used to create this beautiful professional photo album sets it apart from anything else out there on the market.
ALL the Details!
The Zookbook was created as a more modern version of the Matted Album. While the Matted Album was limited to individual standard-size prints mounted in frames, the Zook Book can accommodate a digital design with limitless possibilities. Additionally, with its flush mount construction, spreads can cross the middle fold seamlessly. Every spread can be a panoramic image!
Like the Matted Album, the Zook Book has all the premium details only a professional wedding album can offer. Let’s go through ALL the details with some great images to illustrate. Note that some of these options are ONLY AVAILABLE on the Zook Book. These features are italicized below.

One of our favorite things about sharing the Zook Book with our clients is allowing them to hold the album and page through it. The first thing you’ll notice about the Zook Book is its solid construction, the feel and smell of the leather cover, and the weight of it. The Zook Book deserves more than a professional wedding album spotlight, this album is a sensory experience. It makes a statement and it’s an excellent choice for preserving your clients’ most precious memories.
