I think shadow box style would be good. It would frame them nicely. You would have to make the 'frame sections' smaller than what is usually offered as not to overwhelm the pictures themselves.

Maybe you could post a picture of them here? Sometimes I frame with solid sashing - I am big on kona solids.
