Over here at PKIR we’re HUGE fans of QT Albums, but there’s more history here then just a little collaboration between the best documentary wedding photography community and best album company around.


I (Andy) met Pawel from QT Albums a few years back at the Birmingham Photography Show.  At the time they were a fresh company in the UK market, but their quality stood out beyond anything else I’d seen.

I met with many companies at the show, they all had either nice cover options, or nice print… none had both.  I was ready to drive home, a little frustrated and feeling like I’d had a wasted journey.

However I had one last stand to visit, a stand that when I approached it made me a little giddy with joy, I’D FOUND THE ONE!!! The cover options were awesome, the print incredible and colour rendition impeccable, and that paper? I never knew I could be so overjoyed by paper, but my god it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

I’ve used QT ever since and have no intentions of ever going elsewhere… I’m their client forever. So once I created Photographers Keeping it Real to help showcase documentary wedding photography it was an easy decision to ask QT Albums to be our first partner, and since then we’ve brought our community some great offers, discounts and prizes!

Because we have a great long term relationship PKIR and QT Albums talk A LOT about what we feel people need as products and what they’re clients are missing out on… and we’re very much in agreement that people aren’t printing their photos, and it’s something we’re hoping to help change…  SO QT ALBUMS HAVE DONATED PRIZES FOR THE AUUTMN AWARDS!!!

They can be used to either print your OWN work, or supply clients with albums whilst saving yourself LOADS OF MONEY (which we hope you then use to print your own work and display around your home).

So whilst we loved QT (and Pawel) loads already, I think we’ve turned to full on crush with this latest announcement <3
