Since 1987, photographer Steve Kwak, owner and founder of PictoBooks, has operated a reputable wedding studio local to the DC Metro Area. In 1990 the industry demanded a new and refreshing way to photograph weddings. Steve and a staff of award winning photographers embraced the challenge, ultimately excelling in a style of photography known today as wedding photojournalism.

Photojournalism is a photographic style that has received much praise over the years. It shies away from traditional pose shots, and instead allows the photographer to step back and let the day unfold. Rather than stage a photograph, the focus is to capture the moments of love and emotion between the bride and groom as they journey through the ceremonies of marriage on their wedding day.

When photojournalism was first becoming popular, wedding albums were limited to the traditional slip-in albums; however, photographers embracing the new style of shooting craved a different method of presentation, one that was designed to deliver the final images in the most flattering way possible. Realizing this need, Steve began producing his own albums; thus PictoBooks prototypes had been born. His albums were created in-house, individually hand crafted, custom designed, and custom bound.

Initially, these albums were only manufactured for his clients, building a reputation of trust, service and quality, but in the year 2000, PictoBooks was officially formed and the albums were made available to other professionals. PictoBooks expanded their production facilities and purchased state of the art digital printing equipment. New goals were set to create the most stylized professional wedding albums in the industry.

Since its establishment, PictoBooks has emerged as an industry leader for professional photographers around the country and has redefined the wedding and portrait world with a modern coffee table style book. Beautifully handcrafted and custom designed, each PictoBooks is individually tailored to your needs using only the highest quality materials.

PictoBooks are elegant, first edition albums that represent a new and revolutionary approach to the old traditional style wedding album. PictoBooks takes you on a journey from start to finish, a breathtaking experience as your pictures come alive.
