3 Reasons alone to hire me – Wedding Albums

The modern bride wants and deserves the best on her big day!!!! Well I have always tried to create a great experience for my clients.  I truly enjoy creating a piece of art for each bride.  One of those pieces of art is the wedding album.  I think it’s a shame if all you get from your big day is a disc and maybe an online proof gallery or proof book.  For some brides that’s just not good enough.  So one of the ways I have met my desire to create art and the desire to meet the modern brides demands are my custom classy contemporary albums.

Each album is custom designed to creatively tell the story of the brides big day!

Here are 3 of the albums that I currently offer to brides that they are absolutely loving!!!!

This is the 10 x 10 Modern Coffee Table album
This album has a few options for the cover we can do a full leather wrap (in many colors) or we can create a custom front with 1 or several images from the big day

The Binding is designed so that the album will lay flat.

The spread looks amazing as a 10×20 image!!!!!

Next are some upgraded albums that can be added to the package!

This album is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

It can be printed in a 12 x 12, 10 x 10 or a 9  x 9.  Most parents add this to the package in a 9 x 9 format.

I call this album the Classy Contemporary Leather Album

There are many color options for the leather

You will notice we can imprint into the leather to give it the personal touch.

Once again as you can see this album opens up to a full panoramic spread.  If the album is a 12 x 12 you will view a 12 x 24 inch spread!!!

Another album I offer is what I refer as the “Brides Dream Album”

This album is completely custom from the printing on the cover to the back to the spine to each page.  We design and print this album with the contemporary bride in mind.  If a bride wants a beautiful piece of art from her day yet she wants the complete custom look and feel then this is the album for her!!!

To appreciate the artist look and feel of this you really need to see it in person.  The spreads literally have a fine art look and feel.  I want the photos we create on a brides big day to be shown like I intended for them to be viewed when I captured that moment!! This album does not let us down!!

If you are a Bride thinking about what photographer to hire don’t just look at price but yet consider what piece of art you will have to pass down for generations to come.  I am very proud of the art pieces (aka – wedding albums) that me and my team create.  I am very proud of these albums and trust me you will be to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Site-New Blog-New Portfolio-New Logo

It’s all new!!!! I have been working on updating my look for a few months now….This process has taken me forever because I have done 90% of it myself….All the new layouts…..I am just getting started with some major changes……I have so many more ideas for my brides that are gonna set me apart in the wedding industry as well as some new things coming for SENIORS!!!….I hope my new look displays my love for photography as well as a fresh look on some of my past photography…..I have some minor tweaking to still do but in the end I LOVE MY NEW LOOK!!!

I have seriously worked many hours on this image overhaul…… HERE are a few major changes…..

First of all my new LOGO!!! I really struggled over the logo for a long time….I wanted my name, I wanted a clean look with a bit of edge and I wanted it to print well on anything……Well my good friend Brian Kalwat of Eikon Designs put my vision into action…… He nailed it!!!

I also revamped my main page…..Yes it’s a flash website…..I know some of you hate flash websites well I have a reason for going flash….. 1. my images look better in flash…. 2. I can customize it however I want using Showit Sites….. 3. I have a mobile IPHONE / SMART PHONE plan that will debut in a few months that will allow mobile users as well as Web users to have a great experience at my site….

Here is a pic of the new danielstancil.com home page PLEASE notice when you go to my new site (the icon to the bottom right) allows you to go FULL SCREEN….Trust me you have to try it….. :)

The next major change is MY PORTFOLIO sites…. I took my favorite images from last year and built a custom gorgeous full screen image browser…..

I wanted my images to do the talking not me…..I personally LOVE it!!!!  Take some time in a minute and browse the GALLERIES (PS turn up your speakers)!!!!

Here are a couple of the portfolio layouts….. There are a few other minor changes that were major for me such as a nice contact page and a general pricing page…… Some major things I am working on for upcoming brides is custom websites for them to utilize to brag on their big day….I am also working on a custom after wedding site where my clients can display the images from their wedding day in a really creative way….

Obviously if you don’t book me you don’t get that kind of treatment…. :)

The truth of the matter is that brides are already building their own websites through different services and they look like …….. well you get my point…… so I am stepping up my game to offer them something custom!!!! Come on now that’s cool :)

Here is a screen capture of what that may look like for them…. This is Jennifer and Drews Wedding I shot back in June…..

ONE FINAL MAJJJJJOOOORRRRR Change!!!!! I am stoked about this….. I will be blogging differently from now on…..My blog I feel has been cluttered with lots of long long post…..NO MORE!!!!

Some New Products–For any Session :)

I wanted to show of the goodness of some of these new products that one of my awesome brides (Karen) ordered.  I love the way these turned out.

First is a awesome GUEST sign in custom album.  This little 9 x 9  book is beautiful.  The best part is that it is designed to be a sign in album with plenty of white space but the coolest part is that it is a lay flat album to enjoy the beauty of the images.  Check it out!!



Now on to something else that Karen ordered. She wanted to display some of the shots from their engagement session around the bar. So here are 7 – 8 x 12 printed on a very firm styrene backing so that the images will stand upright around the bar area.
She also ordered custom Save the Date Cards. You will also notice a 24 x 26 custom gallery art wrap that will be displayed on an easel. I cannot wait for her wedding in a couple of weeks at the awesome Montaluce Winery in Dahlonega, GA. Here are 2 pics of this goodness!


Also check out this custom CD case that The Hammers family is getting.
