When I got married, I didn’t purchase an album. I didn’t think I wanted one. I had the disc of my images and I thought I’d make my own one day. One…fine…day…
Two years and some odd months later, I’m here to tell you that I still don’t have an album. And, one day, when my future children ask me to see my wedding pictures, I’ll have to pull out my disc of images and tell them to sit at the big, boxy, buzzing computer and click through them. One by one. And I’ll hope the computer doesn’t break down in the middle because sometimes computers do that. And I’ll hope the monitor is calibrated so the light is just right for our skin tones. And I’ll sit there wishing I had something like what you’re about to see. Something big and thick and substantial for them to hold while they cozy up in a warm blanket on the couch and imagine what their parents used to be like when they got married. Something with a soft cover and thick pages. Something that has the romance of my wedding day told in the form of a storybook. Without 582 photos in between.
This. This is what I hope each of my clients will have for themselves and for their future children. An album that tells the story of their wedding day in a timeless and classic way.
Here are some images of my newest sample album that I made from Heather and Ken’s beautiful November wedding. This one is a 12×12-inch with a soft leather cover and a custom cameo photograph on the front. This is one version of the type of album that is included in some of my wedding packages but, of course, the options are endless.
A little closer look at the cameo:
The pages are nice and thick so you’ll never have to worry about bending. And I love the modern type on the spine:
And here are a few examples of the designs I use. I like to keep them pretty simple and clean and let the story be told by the groupings…
And a peek at the binding and that spine again. Oooh, I love that spine.
