Welcome to Album Monday, where each Monday we feature a different Book or Album a bride has selected as her own personal heirloom! This is only the second time we’ve done Album Monday, and the first time we’ve showcased a Book, so I need to take a bit of time to explain exactly what a Wedding Book is.
Andrew and Haley were married on a perfect summer’s day down in Utah County at the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple. In addition to Haley and Andrew being an amazing couple to work with, this wedding was all the more fun because I also had the privilege of documenting the wedding of Andrew’s sister Emily! I love all my couples, but it is a real treat to be able to work with the same family again, especially the Algers!
This is a new segment I’m going to publish every Monday. Or that’s my goal anyway. But I have so many brides ask about Albums and really want to see what they look like up close, so every Monday I will bring you a new Album or Book that we’re shipping to a bride, so you will get to see how stunning they all are! [WARNING: By looking at the following pictures, you may fall in love with our Albums and need one yourself...] This album is from one of my favorite weddings of all time [and was chosen the be one of only 3 weddings featured that year in Utah Bride and Groom magazine!
Count the clothing changes ladies! 5 different changes! Love it. Ever see that Seinfeld episode where the chick wears the same shirt all the time and he looks at all of her pictures and she’s wearing the shirt in every single one? So, that’s why i like a few different options. Because you will love your pictures, and I don’t want people to think you’re like Shirt Lady!
Savanna and Jesse were married in the San Diego California temple. Take a look at their special day…
As I said in the magazine article, the Bride and Groom were so much fun to work with. They had such a family-oriented reception including a duel celebration for Savanna’s brother and his wife who were married a month before them. This is my third [and unfortunately final!] wedding I have had the privilage of being a part of for the Session family as I photographed both of Savanna’s sisters weddings as well!
Before the wedding day, I got to spend some time with Savanna getting pictures of her in her dress, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you!
We started at Savanna’s home in Coto de Caza [stunning, and where the reception will be held] and then moved to a private beach where we were very surprised to find it completely deserted on such a beautiful day! Not complaining at all, just surprised by our good fortune! 
Today Pepper and I held our girl’s head in our hands as she sighed her final breath – resigned, peaceful even, but finally, inexorably…final. We bit our lips and held her gaze until the light left her eyes and in so doing we fulfilled the hardest, most bitter clause of the contract one makes when one accepts responsibility for a beloved pet: love us; live for us; and in return we will do our best to give you a life of love worth living, and allow you a graceful exit…even if we are not ready to let you leave.
