Supporting photographers: replacements to FINAO Albums

We are saddened to hear the news that FINAO is closing its doors. As passionate advocates for preserving cherished memories through print and for supporting photographers in our industry, we understand the challenges this presents. 

Transitioning to a new supplier can feel daunting, especially when you’re navigating the busy life of a wedding photographer. That’s why we want to offer our heartfelt support and provide guidance on finding suitable FINAO alternative products within the much loved Folio Albums range.
