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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul & Karen Wedding —– Preview

Well I just had to jump on a few of these images this morning. I actually could not sleep just thinking about some of the pics we had captured. Well TRUST ME this is not the best of them and I am in love with these images. You will have to wait a few more days to view them all. So without further ramblings from me….Here are 5 images that caught my eye upon import.

While Karen was getting into her dress. I caught this shot.

This house or should I say mansion was the house the bridal party stayed in. As soon as I arrived at Monteluce I saw this tower and had to have this shot….

I don’t know why but I really like these next 2 images

How cool are they…

There are so many detail shots from this wedding. I will give you a full write up in a few days but check out these candle holders at the bar area…I had to put the rings on it. :)

Now a glimpse into the incredible ceremony. This sky is NOT Photoshopped.. I shot this image with a fisheye lens to give it the interesting look.

CHECK BACK LATER FOR MORE PICS!!!!!!!! If you want to leave a comment please do so. Thanks
