san-diego-temple-wedding-photographer-album-black-leather-819A-05.jpgAlbum Monday is back baby!  I am so sorry about not posting forever, but we had so many albums we were working on all at once and I knew that if I didn’t put everything I had into getting those done and turned my attention away even for a second to the blog, that might mean someone not getting their album back when they were hoping!  So I hope you forgive me, but my Brides have to come first.  I’m sure you guys understand…

San Diego Temple | Rachelle + Rick | Wedding Reception

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

san-diego-temple-wedding-photography-906-1396.jpg Wow, what a crazy month!  For those who are wondering why I haven’t posted anything this month, it’s November, which for us here means the annual dreaded Album Holiday Deadline!!!  All of my brides who want their album in time for the holidays to show off to the family, we have to order it before Thanksgiving, and of course, everyone is getting gorgeous albums to show off, so that means an entire month of me doing nothing but albums!  I have not yet caught up on my sleep.  But it also means many many wonderful Album Monday segments for the weeks to come.

My Grandma’s funeral continued…

Album Monday | Amy + Britt’s pink suede Wedding Album

pink-suede-wedding-album-los-willows-photography-817A-09.jpg I love this album!!!

I have a new Album Production & Design team I have been using for the past 8 months, and one of the things that drew me to them were the sheer number of choices available for my Brides.  Before this, there was basically Black Leather.  That was it.  Nothing wrong with Black Leather, it’s classic and timeless and all that.

But I never felt really excited about it, all the Albums arriving and all looking identical.  Because my brides are not cookie-cut women, they are strong and intelligent individuals with a unique perspective on life, on their future, and especially on their Wedding!
