There’s no AI involved when you get your wedding albums designed and delivered by Ouse Valley Processing. OVP’s Bedford based service offers intelligent human design with a team who can learn your preferences and fine-tune from your feedback.

OVP can carry your workload as soon as you’ve edited the shoot down. Just send the files and the couple’s choice of album type and size – approve the preview or ask for changes, and the finished handmade album will come to you or straight to the customer.

Whether travelling the world, too busy to do it all or temporarily unable to work, photographers can rely on OVP’s experienced eyes and skilled hands to deliver a premium presentation. 

With almost 400 hotels round the country shut for future weddings as migrants remain housed, other venues are fitting in more weddings on weekdays and photographers’ time is in demand.

Ouse Valley’s design, proof, print and deliver album deals free up your diary and keep you behind the lens instead of behind with orders!

This summer’s spate of delayed weddings is set to continue into the autumn – wedding planners were booked up to the end of 2022 as long as 18 months ago (BBC News, February 25th 2021) and it hasn’t eased off. More venues including outdoors have been authorised, and ceremonies late in the year will give photographers a great chance for high orders in time for Christmas get-togethers.

Clients who have not placed orders from recent weddings need reminding now to get them in soon as lab deadlines are expected to be earlier than ever.

Ouse Valley Processing have an offer for wall-hanging acrylics at 20% off and a special promotion for weddings and family shoots – calendars with one image per month and the photographer’s branding on every page. At £11 these are an ideal ‘free’ incentive for high value bookings or orders… and extra sales of the calendar can put the icing on the Christmas cake!

Pre-wedding engagement and travel shoots, schools and colleges, sports clubs, associations, retirements, anniversary celebrations, centenaries, unusual achievements and awards – all these have been celebrated using OVP real silver halide printed photo books.

The sheer range of hand-crafted cover finishes and printing, embossing or engraving techniques makes an almost limitless number of creative combinations so every book can be unique. 3D design templates let you preview the solid look and feel of your choices.

The photo layout is mastered and previewed using free Album Express Mac or PC software and the size can be anything from pocket size to 20 x 16”.  As presentation is also key OVP can supply from a plain quality black presentation box, to a fully bespoke box to match the photobook,  or carry case upgrades.
