Congratulations on completing your Eton Days!
You now have an incredibly special set of photographs that very few people are fortunate enough to have! An artistic chronicle of an incredibly important part of your childhood that you will look back on for the rest of your life; that future generations can also marvel at as an historical journal of their father, grandfather and maybe even great grandfather. There's no point in having all these fabulous photos taken if you don't make the most of your investment, backup and safeguard these precious moments in time and eternalise your story in an heirloom that will last for generations to come.
USB Memory Boxes can be bought for all or any number of your favourite photoshoots!

Having the High-Resolution digital files safe & sound at home is always a wise choice and gives you the flexibility of using 3rd party printers, sharing any files, and keeping them as a backup in case disaster happens or in case (heavens forbid) we go out of business. They are effectively the same as the negatives in 'old school' language. You can use them to reproduce the photos when you like, how your like, in whatever medium you like, and as often as you like. You will get UNLIMITED usage rights and will receive a certificate to attest to this within your USB stick. Why do the digital files seem to be so expensive ?
Digital Files are essentially the same as the negatives from your photoshoot - something that photographers were never realistically able to sell. So effectively you're not only buying the photo itself, but more importantly, the rights to use that photo as many times as you like, in whatever size you like and in any way you like, providing it's not for commercial uses. Each Photoshoot includes... - ALL Colour + ALL B&W versions from your chosen shoots - Full development and optimisation of all photos - USB Key with All Photos in HIGH RESOLUTION - 5500 Pixel Files - all Colour and B&W Photos included - Gift packaging for USB key - Highest Resolution files for Maximum Flexibility & Print Quality |

Heirloom Photo booksThere’s little point in having beautiful photographs taken if you don’t show them off to their best. This is exactly what our fabulous range of top quality family heirloom photo books are designed to do, making them an ideal and lasting momento of any occasion. These are NOT your ‘run of the mill’ photo books that you can buy cheaply online and on the high street. The quality of workmanship is exceptional and only the very best materials are used. Each book is individually hand made to order and painstakingly checked on completion. Real wood is used in the covers to avoid any bowing and hand stitched seams (not gummed!) are as standard, giving years and years of life without a single page becoming unstuck. We then have a number of optional finishing touches such as additional pocket books which make great gifts for godparents, grandparents and close friends, dust covers, fish-tail ribbons, slip covers, and presentation boxes are all available on request. |

"LAY FLAT" OPTION
Our new 'Lay Flat" binding is an option that allows you to view all the pages right up to the middle spine; particularly good for double-page spreads. The two facing pages 'lie flat' against each other instead of sinking into the spine as in traditional bookbinding.
Our ethos is to create memories that last and last, whether they be of your Eton Days, your wedding, birthday, christening or family holiday, and we are confident that we have the best photo book on the market that will show your photos off to their very best and will be a family heirloom to pass on to the generations to come.
LAYOUT, DESIGN & ADDITIONAL PAGES
The number of pages (and therefore final price) will largely depend on the number of photos used from each photoshoot, and the number of photos used on each page.
OUR RECOMMENDATION is to aim for between 25 and 50 pages in total (ie 50 to 100 sides). The prices above are for a total of 25 pages (50 sides);
Additional pages are charged at the following prices
Standard Heirloom Books - Small £14.99 per page (2 sides)
Standard Heirloom Books - Large - - £19.99 per page (2 sides)
ULTRA heirloom Books - One Size (30x30) - £24.99 per page (2 sides)
PAYMENT
We take payment for the photo books on the confirmation of your order as they are bespoke items.
If you require any additional pages during the design process, then these are invoiced before the book is actually printed.
The design of your photo book is not just limited to a single photo shoot. You can also add photos from any other photo shoots that we have taken, such as Eton House Photos, Eton House Plays, Family photo shoots, sporting events and "Eton's 4th of June" and special occasions. There will be a small admin charge of just £5 per photo for photos taken from photo shoots other than that of your main photo shoot. You are not limited to the number of photos you can include. Subscribers to our Eton Days Books however are exempt from this charge as it is included in the "My Eton Days" Subscription.
