About

The people
behind the books.

From our Berkshire studio, we bring creative design and traditional bookbinding together. You’ll work directly with the people making your book, from the first conversation to the final finishing touches.

The belief

Important memories deserve something better than mass production.

Booked Images was created around a simple belief: that photographs which matter should end up somewhere better than a hard drive.

Based in Berkshire, our team combines creative design, printing and traditional bookbinding to create bespoke books for clients in the UK and around the world.

From wedding albums and family histories to automotive books, travel stories and luxury brand portfolios, every project is different. And that’s exactly how we like it.

Design

The bindery

A barn in Berkshire, and a bench that has seen four decades.

Design, production and binding happen in the same building. That is unusual, and it is the reason we can say yes to things other producers cannot.
