Leather Folders - for celebrants to hold their ceremonies at weddings

 

 

Ask any professional Wedding Photographer and he / she will tell you that they just hate Marriage Celebrants holding large and dominant A4 folders. And some of them look just dreadful.
These are leather hand made in A5 by leatherwork artist, Kim Daniel. They look good, they look professional, and they are in proportion. A bit of trouble to cut the ceremonies to A5 (one way - use large margins - 7 cms - at the one side and at the botom of your print and cut the excess) but then you look really good.

RRP: $39, - $95.00, - $107
