Albums....(hey, this is what you get!)

Okay, so today I thought I'd make a post about the albums that I design for my brides and grooms.  I design each and every album from scratch.  I don't use yucky, cheesy templates.  Each page layout design comes straight from here!(I'm pointing to my noggin')  Each album is designed with the bride and groom's personality in mind and that makes each one unique.  The albums come in two sizes, 10"x10" and 5"x5"(the 5x5's make nifty parent's albums).  They have a "gutterless" page design, which allows me to do photo spreads that stretch across two pages with only a 1 millimeter gap.   Another cool bit about the albums...the pages lay flat when it's open, amazing!  My favorite cover is the black leather(it's super soft and smells delicious!).  So, enough gabbing, take a look at the albums already...


Each album comes comes with a super cool box.(bonus!)

 

 
Notice the photo going across the gutter...nice!

Super adorable 5x5 album!

Casey and Chris

Chris is a baseball player with hopes of being drafted into the Big Leagues. He had a life long dream of getting married on a baseball field, so that's exactly what he did. He proposed to his high school sweetheart at his hometown baseball stadium and the rest is history!

This was probably the most unique setting for a wedding that I've had the pleasure to shoot. It was not without it's challenges...it was at high noon(not the best light for photography!)and it was 90+ degrees.(there's really no way to make sweat look romantic!) 

They were sweet kids and even though it felt like we were on the surface of the sun, they were patient and willing to find the "best" shots. Here are some that I liked...
