I’m so excited! We now have brand spanking new cover samples for all of our Books!  There are over 80 different options available for all Books, leathers, silks, suedes, and many many more!

Books are perfect for brides who absolutely love their wedding pictures and simply cannot narrow them down to anything less than 450!  That’s right, our Books comfortably hold up to 450 images on 300 pages.  Gorgeous.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Man, I am just exhausted!  I just got back in town from shooting an incredible wedding in New York with a fabulous bride and groom, and while it was a long day shooting and long flights there and back, it was absolutely worth it!  But that’s not the subject of today’s post, it’s Album Monday, and we have another installment for you!

This is Kacey & Jake’s Guest Sign-in Book, I was so happy they went with a fun cover, it reflects their personality in that this Green is so bright, so saturated in color you’d have to describe its personality as vivacious, and also unusual!

Welcome back to Album Monday!  Sorry i took last week off from posting, with Labor Day on Album Monday and 3 weddings in 6 days, it was pretty hectic, and besides I knew you all would forgive me if I made the posts super awesome, so here we go!

This is an album I have been SO excited to show everyone since the moment it was ordered!  I feel a tiny bit guilty right now, because I had a different album I was going to show you today, and literally UPS just dropped it off, and the bride hasn’t seen it yet!!!  But then again, Jess you live in London and it’s gonna take over a week to get to you anyway, so now you get to see it faster!!!

Welcome to Album Monday! Sorry this post is so late in the day, Zen is starting daycare tomorrow so he can interact and socialize with other kids his age more, and while he’s having fun with it, i think his mom and dad are having a tough time!

Anyway, so that’s the story of the late posting today, but never fear, Album Monday is here!!!

Sorry for the two part blog post, but this is one of my favorite Books I’ve ever had the opportunity to design, and there’s just too much to show!  So this is a 200 side 8×8 Book, and while I can’t show the entire 200 sides, I did pick out my favorite 30 spreads to show here!

One of my favorite aspect about designing a Book is that I get to have so many images as full page spreads.  It’s a photographer’s dream to see our images this big, and so many of them!

Remember, these are full spreads so they are actually 16 inches long by 8 inches high in the final Book.  Enjoy!

Album Monday is back Baby!  Not that it ever went away, I just wanted that say it.  Anyway, yeah!  Hooray for Album Monday!  Today I have an awesome Wedding Book I have been so excited to show you ever since I designed it, and it came in and now here it is!  This is Cortney & John’s Wedding Book.  They decided on an 8×8 Book holding just over 300 images on 200 sides.  The cover is called Metallic and is a silver highly-reflective surface with a tweed stamping.  I included tons of pictures of this cover because depending on how the light is shining on it, it goes from being a very light gray to a very dark gray.  Cortney and John also wanted it to be completely custom just for them, so in addition to the custom design of the layout, we also had a dye made to have their names embossed in the center of the front cover.  The style of Book is called Paris, from the French Line, and was printed on the Glossy Paper. I still prefer the Premium paper personally because of it’s thickness, but Cortney and John had such bright colors at their wedding and wanted to make sure that the saturation came through exactly as it was in real life.  If you are wondering why there are 2 Books, Cortney also got one as a present for her mother!

I love Album Monday!  Today’s Album may not seem as glamorous and beautiful as the other albums we usually feature on here, but it’s an important part of our Process here and something that all of my Full-Day Package Brides get complementary with their wedding coverage, so you’ll know what to expect!

This is the Proof Album.  It is about 8 inches high by 10 inches wide, and depending on how many images there are from your wedding, about an inch thick.  It contains a complete record of all of the edited images from your Wedding Day. Your wedding images are printed 6-up on a page with their ID number underneath for easy identification and comparison between similar images.

Album Monday is back again!  Today I’ve got a new Album for you, this is the Guest Sign-in Book.  So instead of a boring book filled with signatures and nothing else, these books show off the pictures from your engagement and bridal sessions and leave plenty of white space so that your guests can leave their thought, best wishes and congratulations with you.  The Sign-in Books are 8 inches tall, and we vary the width according to how many guests you think you’ll have coming.  Emily and Taylor knew that they had sent out 450 invitations, and we always plan on one person per invitation sent, so we went with an 8×12 book for them.  They chose a cover of black leather, but as you can see below, these albums come in just about every color under the sun!  If you are looking for a more traditional wedding album, the Guest Sign-in Book allows you to go wild and pick any color you choose!  We offer them in different page numbers as well, 20, 30 or 40 pages, again, depending on how many guests you will be inviting and how many images you would like to have in your Book.

Sorry I didn’t post at all this past week, I spent the time coming up with a new format to the blog, bigger teaser pictures and better use of space for verticals. It seems like such a small thing to spend that time on, but I think overall it’s going to be a much better resource for my clients and an easier read for everyone! I worked so hard that I almost missed Album Monday, but I am gonna just barely make it – woo hoo!!!

Today’s Album is for Bridget & Erik, one of my favorite weddings from 2008! They are pregnant now and that light a fire under them to pick out their images and get this put to bed before their lives get too baby crazy! Bridget and Erik decided on a 120 side 11×14 Album with Black Leather, holding 240 images from the wedding day! It is just stunning, absolutely stunning!!! They also opted for duplicate 8×10 Parent Albums for their families to enjoy as well. All 3 Albums were bound in genuine Black Leather and printed on Premium Photographic Paper. I love it when brides order their Albums in the summertime because typically the companies that produce these amazing books are busier in the fall and winter, so my Brides get their Albums back a little bit sooner, always a plus!

Yippee! Don’t you just love Mondays?! It’s time for my favorite weekly feature, Album Monday! So this is Jessi & Jay’s Album, they decided to get a Wedding Book since it could hold many more images than an Album can for the same price, and that way they could also get a duplicate Book for Jessi’s Father!

Well here it is, Monday, my favorite day of the week! It’s my day off, but Zen is down for his nap so I have a moment to write a quick blog post about my latest album! Not only is it stunning, but Christina and Brett have set a new record for getting their images picked out the fastest after their wedding!

Its funny, I used to absolutely hate Mondays, Mondays were the worst. Then after our son was born, I started taking Mondays off. No exceptions. And Mondays have gone from being the most despised day of the week to being the absolute best! Which is kinda why I decided to make Monday the day that i get to show off my albums. When Albums come its like Christmas, so now I just get to combine the two! [Plus I look forward to writing this post when Zen goes down for his nap!] So, its nap time now, so here’s another great Album Monday!

Welcome back to Album Monday! I have 3 styles of options available to Brides, and I’ve shown the first two, the Matted Album and the Wedding Book, in previous posts. Now, you get the see the most popular option, the Flush-Mount Album. It is printed on Photographic Paper like the Matted Album, but instead of a matte around each image, the pages are designed digitally and mounted, Flush to the edge of the page. These albums were impossible even just a few years ago, but thanks to the digital age, we have them now!

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.

(more…)

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!
