I'm about halfway through the Northwest Indiana wedding season and I've already showcased quite a few recent wedding images from throughout the year.  Today we show off some wedding album designs.  These are straight from the pages of three recent clients.  I'm currently working on a few mom brag books, but we will save those for another day.

The photo above is the front cover for Ryan and Sara's wedding book which just arrived this week from the printer.  I can't really do these wedding albums justice without putting them in your hands when we meet for our intitial wedding consultation.  Let me give you some of the finer points about them:

• custom designed pages
• protective coating on each page for smudges, fingerprints and light liquid
• 12x12 hardcover
• coffee table design 

After your wedding, I begin the editing process for all of your photos (think film developing, except for digital) and perhaps adding special effects, etc.  Then we have Premiere Night where you will see a video of highlight images from throughout the wedding day.  The next step is seeing all of your images on a large screen in the viewing room of my portrait studio in Crown Point.  Out last step this night is to pick out a dominant color for your wedding album.  Usually we go with the bridesmaids colors or wedding theme color, but not always.  We will discuss our options.  I then ask the couple to pick out front and back images with some guidance from me. From these selections I then design a custom cover that usually contains the newlywed's name and wedding date.

One of my favorite fonts is this heart font on the front cover of Michele and Nick's wedding album.  Other times we go for a more classic look as with Stacey and Steve's album from their Spring wedding at St. John the Evangelist.

Couple's often choose a walking away or waving image for the back cover of their book...

The inside page designs will continue the color theme of the front cover, sometimes with more intense colors such as this deep purple design with glowing purple flowers and a tinge of red.

These coffee table style books will often hold most, if not all of the wedding images.  They have become quite popular and are what I consider the modern wedding album.  These comtemporary looks are almost always chosen.  I do offer a more traditional flush mount album as an add on option.  It's called the Leather Craftsmen Luxury Album because of it's hand crafted leather exterior and super thick pages.  These are perfect for showcasing a few of your favorite pictures from the big day.

I sometimes will incorporate a champagne bottle design when featuring reception images such as first dance.

Famous quotes are often a hit with my clients and I try to match them up with an appropriate image such as this one of Ryan and Sara overlooking Lake Michigan at The Dunes Lakeshore in Northwest Indiana.

To see some older albums from past weddings have a look at the gallery page in the wedding album section.  The next step would to fill out my contact form and set up a time to take a look for yourself.  See you soon!!
