I wholeheartedly believe that albums are the best way to showcase a large number of images from your wedding day in a thoughtful way – and that’s not just my teenage scrapbook years talking! Individual prints are fabulous (my house is full of them), but an album allows you to pull together a collection of photos that tell a story and really share the emotions of the day. They’re something you can pull out when friends come over or to show Grandma and they will feel like they were there with you, enjoying the special little moments. Your wedding album tells the whole story and is tailored to YOU. Luckily, your photographer has an intimate relationship with your wedding collection after hours spent getting to know you, photographing you, meeting your friends and family and culling and editing your images- we know the special moments and little details that should be included.
You may be thinking – but I can do this myself later on! I am here to tell you that more often than not, that time never comes and you’ll be wishing you’d paid someone to create a beautiful album for you to share. Allowing your photographer to design your wedding album for you takes the stress off your shoulders and guarantees you’ll end up with a beautiful, high quality book you’ll be excited to share for years to come.
How can I guarantee such a thing? Well, I am proud to have been working with my professional printing company for over ten years and we have the color match and quality of my products dialed in. I’ve tried all the “go-to” money saving printers like Snapfish and Costco or Shutterfly. The quality, durability and color of these products will never compare to a professional printer. That’s just the hard truth! Keep reading to find out more about the albums I offer and why you’ll want to bring one home.
Custom Designed Layouts + Covers
Once your wedding images are complete, I take the time to arrange them in a layout that shows off the most important, heart-felt details of your big day and choose an image for the cover before sending the first draft over to you for proofing. Cover photos beautifully wrap around the edges of the book giving a sleek, refined finish. So many clients over the years have told me how thankful they are not to worry about finding the time to choose images, design an album and send it to print.
Cloud Proofing
All of my album designs include Cloud Proofing! This is an online system where you can log in, view your current album design and request changes including different photos or layouts before the book is ever sent to print. I want you to love this album for years to come, so we are sure to make any tweaks and changes you’d like so that it’s perfect.
Lay-Flat, Chipboard Pages
My favorite thing about these albums are the lay-flat, chipboard pages. These pages are very thick and durable to withstand lots of love and attention. They’re coated in a protective finish to keep them from fading and to allow for easy fingerprint removal. The best part, though, is that they lay completely flat when you open the book up – no pages puffing up or harsh creases down the middle!
Quality, Durable Materials
These albums are made to last and I am proud to offer them. You’ll be so happy you didn’t print with Shutterfly 😉
