Graphistudio was founded in 1981 as a small graphic and photographic advertising studio. In 1987 it expanded into the wedding photography market. The idea was to offer newlyweds a photographic album using the latest creative graphic techniques. The first Wedding Book was launched to the public in the spring of 1997. Wedding magazines described it as the best wedding momento that had ever been produced. The fame of The Wedding Book soon spread internationally and it was not long before it was presented at international fairs including New York, Atlanta, Tokyo, Barcelona, Athens, Rome and Vienna.
Graphistudio was not only the first in Italy but also in the world to introduce digital print technology to the wedding photography market. It was also the first to develop specific software for the graphic paging up process and also the first to create this method of book binding for wedding photography, combining it with a nother first in being able to personalise the album cover by printing directly onto silk.
