Can anyone advise me of a good company to use for wedding albums?

We are after a coffe table album for our wedding pics...

Depends how much you want to spend! Wedding albums can be pretty pricey.

You can get cheap(ish) photobooks quite easily. I've used YoPhoto before for a book and was quite impressed with the quality.

A step up from there is Plastic Sandwich and Loxley Colour. Loxley are one of those companies that just about every wedding photographer uses. Plastic Sandwich products are gorgeous but they're not cheap. An A4 album cover will set you back £135.

It depends on what you want. £400 is a huge amount for a photo book but it's cheap for a hand made wedding album...

If you're after a coffee table book I'd be tempted with one of the posher ones from YoPhoto but I'd probably go for a Plastic Sandwich one (depending on how many photos you've got).
The YoPhoto system is quite good. You download the free software and load in your photos so you design the layout yourself and then upload it to them.
