Welcome to Momento

ABOUT US

 

Founded in 2004, Momento was the first personalised photo book company in Australia and New Zealand, and we're proud to be 100% antipodean owned and made.

We developed our own photo book layout software to make it easy for anyone to preserve their memories in locally made photo books and photo stationery.

Quality is at the heart of our business. It is evident in our six colour image reproduction and the superior quality of our papers and raw materials. It's visible in the stitch-binding and hand-crafting of our books. It's also the driving force behind our extensive quality checks and local, friendly customer servicing. It's why we offer a generous quality guarantee too.

Our mix of state-of-the-art print technology with centuries-old bookbinding techniques ensures that your photo books look and feel extraordinary, and they will withstand the test of time.

We also care about our planet. We work hard to minimise our impact on the environment when choosing our supplies and creating our processes, and we recycle wherever possible.

 Momento is dedicated to supplying exceptional products for all photography lovers and enthusiasts, while our sister company Momento Pro services professional photographers, photography students and camera club members.

We invite you to take a wander through our production facility via the videos below, so you can meet the humans who are committed to producing your orders to world class standards, and you can see how the magic happens.

In the beginning

The plan for Momento was hatched in a campervan on the edge of Vermilion Lakes, Banff in 2002. Two of our founders loved travel, and their Sony digital camera so much, they felt it was time for a new photo print product.

A self-confessed geek, cycling addict and Mac lover, James cut his teeth on big technology at Yahoo Australia before bringing Momento’s software to life. James is the driving force behind Momento’s technical and systems development. He and his team build all the smarts in the software that make designing easy and efficient.
