Wedding photo album

I recently saw a friend's wedding photo album that I've been unable to find online no matter what I search for. She received a big album with all the pictures the photographer took. She then had to pick her favorite 50 pictures and the developer turned it into a book. Now this isn't any photo book I've seen on the developing sites online, but this album had a leather cover, and all the pages were hard pages, like thick card stock. The pictures were printed right on the heavy pages and seemed like they were waterproof and definitely finger print proof. They were very, very good quality and was very professional. There was 1 picture per page where each picture was centered on the page.

Does anyone know where I can get my pictures sent to have something like this created? All the photo books I've seen online are magazine type where you just flip through it.

Just FYI, the photographer charged over $500 to have this album printed.

    Zook Binders maybe? ne_nau.gif

    Don't know much about them, but I made a wedding collage out of some photos that a friend too that I saw on flickr. I created something for them, and someone commented that it was in the style of Zook Binders.

    I've tried searching and came up with sites like Kodak Gallery, Asuka, Winkphoto and the likes but these all display magazine like, coffee table style books. What I'm trying to find is this hard card board like paper book where the pictures are printed on. It's just your regular photo album except the pages are not bendable and the pictures do not attract finger prints. You can wipe anything right off. (haven't had the guts to ask her to let me spill something on it but she metioned it was spill proof -- not sure if it's true yet)

    Many Companies
    There are many companies who cater to the professional photographic community who do those books. Graphi Studios, WHCC, White Glove, Zookbinders, Asukabook are only a few.
