Katherine and Charles Album

Katherine and Charles were married in December of 2005; Katherine had wanted an album really bad but didn't have the time to sit down and choose her favorite images, so she asked if I would pre-design an album for her. I love the opportunity to pre-design albums because I can really lay it out how I think it will look best.

This is their pre-designed album, they will have a chance to make any changes they want to make sure that this album is exactly what they want!

Jennifer and Jeff's Album

So much is going on this summer and it is very exciting!!! I will be posting pictures of what I have been up to this last week shortly, but until then I want to show you all another album design!

Jennifer and Jeff are such an amazing couple and I have had so much fun working with them! Their wedding was in March and it was a beautiful day.

Jeff had a lot of input on how he wanted the book to be designed.. simple and sweet... so this design is a little different than the others I have done.

Minnesotta and more album designs

Well I made it to Minnesota just fine. I arrived at 8:00 Minnesota time last night and Preston and his wife Annie picked me up. They decided to go grab a bite to eat and took me to the Mall of America... even though I didn't have much time to see it all they said I had to at least see it. Crazy... a theme park in a mall, that is nuts!!! So we ate some good Italian food and then they dropped me off at the hotel.

Today we shoot the wedding. 7/7/07.. this is supposedly one of the most popular days to get married. If you know of someone who got married today I would love to hear how it went!

On to other news.. I said I've been doing a ton of albums lately and I keep forgetting to post them up for you all to see, so I decided to go ahead and try to keep posting every once in awhile so you can see them. I love albums. I think they are the final part to a wedding because it pulls everything together and really tells the story of the day.

This album is going to be 9.5x13, so it's a really good size. These books are beautiful.

Catherine and Christopher just sent in approval to order this album, so this is their final product. They loved it.


PS. I know I spelled Minnesota wrong above but my software will not let me change if for some reason. Computers can be weird sometimes.

Engagement Guest Book Album

Well, I am back from Pinetop and had a wonderful vacation. Once I have a chance to download the pictures off of my camera I will share some of them!

However, again, I am off traveling the world. I am on my way right now to Minneapolis to shoot a wedding on 7/7/07. A photographer friend, Preston Palmer has asked me to shoot with him and I'm really excited to see Minnesota; I have never been there before.

When I have a chance I will post more pictures of this trip as well!

But, now to my headline up above.. I have been really busy this summer working on albums. I just finished Jessica and Jim's guest book album. These albums are so neat because they are from the engagement session and work as your guest book, so that you have a unique way to show off your pictures and remember who was at your wedding. These are hot hot items and everyone wants one! To view the entire album click on the image below.

Engagement Guest Book Album

Engagement Guest Book Albums are so much fun! Every one of my wedding packages includes an enagement session. It is a fun, relaxed session where you can see how I take pictures and I can see how you interact as a couple. Almost everyone who does them is so happy that they did them.

Well, with the enagement session, one of the newest things people are doing is an Engagment Guest Book Album. It's a way to show off your fun amazing pictures and have a guest book at the same time. The guests will actually sign the pages. You can then put the album on your coffee table and have it as a rememberence of everyone special at your wedding.

Below is an example of what these look like. We just did Alysea and Lukes session a few weeks ago. Thier album is ready to go once they approve it!!

If you are interested in one of these just send me an email! I would love to create one for you.

Cynthia and Chucks Album

Well, we just finished designing Cynthia and Chucks album. It turned out great.

This is their predesign, so they will be getting some changes to me if they would like to change out pictures. Cynthia and Chuck decided to choose their own pictures, so for the most part this album consists of images that they choose; however, in order to really make the story flow I added some additional favorites!!

Another Album Design Complete

Laura and Marco were married in October and I have to say it was one of my favorite weddings! They are an awesome couple and I loved every minute of the day. I also had one of my very good friends and awesome photographer Mary Beth Tyson there to help me all day. She got some killer pictures, which are included in this album!!

Click above on the image to view the entire album! I would love to hear what you think!

This album is the predesign and has a lot of pages as well because there were so many great pictures. Laura and Marco will have a chance to go through the album and make any changes they would like.

The album is going to be much larger than on the screen, so note that when viewing. In real life these albums are stunning!

Another Album Design Complete

I am so excited because we have already predesigned Briana and Daniel's wedding album. Their wedding was this last Saturday and we are very ahead of schedule with getting everything done. We are trying as hard as we can to predesign albums as soon as the wedding is done so that the Bride and Groom will have it by the time they get back from their honeymoon. Our weddings in 2006 weren't able to be done this way, but our hope is that in 2007 all weddings will have albums done within about a week or two.

This has been one of my favorite weddings to do and the album turned out beautiful. There are a lot of images in this album, about 300 and the album is over 100 pages. Usually an average album is about 50 - 60 pages, but in some cases we go extreme!!


To look at the album click here. I would love to hear what you think about it.

Album Designs

We have been catching up a lot over here!! It feels so good to check things off my list!

I just finished designing Melanie and Chris's album for their wedding. It turned out wonderful and i'm so excited. The final album is going to be a 9.5 x 13 album with a beautiful metal cover! I love albums!!

Albums

I know i've said this so many times, but Albums are soooo important. Just think... you are hiring a photographer and paying them a lot of money to come out and capture your day so that it is perfect and you can remember every moment. In the end you will have a ton of amazing pictures to look at; but what do you do with them all. Yes, you could get the DVD of negatives, but then you still just have a lot of pictures. Yes, you could order pictures, but then you still will only have a few.

The best thing to do is let us design a beautiful coffee table book album for you! You get a ton of images in a beautiful album that is yours to cherish for the rest of your lives. It's something that you can show your friends, family, and your children.

I just finished Sarah and Chad's album. You probably will remember the pictures that were on the blog because the wedding was in April. Well I think it turned out great! Sarah and Chad will have a chance to look at this preview and then they can make some changes if they would like to. If they think it looks great then we will send it to get put together and in 1 - 2 months they will have a gorgeous book in their hands.

PreDesigning Albums

I'm so excited! We are starting to do pre-designs of albums now and I am loving it! Basically we are choosing our favorite images and pre-designing the album. The couple can then make any changes that they would like, but this way they have an idea of what the album could look like! I really think it's going to help those who are just getting so frustrated with having to choose their own images!

The last predesign we did was for Samantha and Peter - this is straight off the press!!
