Favorite Album Pages...David & Andrea, 6-7-08

I'm a fool for beautiful wedding albums.

That's why I can't bear the thought of anyone not having one, and include one in all my packages.

I do an initial draft of the album and present it to my couples, usually within a couple weeks of their wedding. They review it online and give me feedback as to what they love, any photos they want switched, any extra pages they'd like added, and so on.

Here are some of my favorite pages from Andrea and David's album from their wedding a few weeks ago in Redding. They are an awesome couple!! Only a couple minor tweaks remain and the album is off for publishing. I can't wait!

The first spread is the full bleed, wraparound photo cover. Is that gorgeous, or what? Click any photo for a closer look!





Here's a spread featuring their beautiful venue, the First Presbyterian Church in Redding, California.


The light streaming through this stained glass window was begging for a wedding dress hanging.


Without even trying, Andrea looked like a movie star in this photo.


The ring, and the joyous 'I do's.'


A delicious cake, and neither much the worse for it afterward!

Favorite Album Pages...Candice & Sean, 4-26-08

I am so excited to have finished putting together a beautiful album for Candice and Sean! And ahead of my two week schedule, in spite of a brief detour to Reno last weekend to see my favorite band in the world, Rush! May I briefly add that Neil Peart is the smoking-hottest drummer on the earth? If you haven't bought Snakes & Arrows yet, please go do so right now.

Candice has given me awesome input on the album, which I've gladly welcomed!! In fact, one of the pages she changed has become my favorite page (see first image, below). It features a page-dominating shot of the back of her gorgeous red dress!! Some album pages are a beautiful collage of related shots. Others, like the second page below, are a single, dramatic shot spanning the width of two pages. Most importantly, my couples themselves are a key part of the wedding album process. After all, you're going to be looking at it for a long, long time and I want you to love it!

Favorite Album Pages...Karissa & Josh 2-23-08

Oh my goodness, I love this album.

I spend a long time making each wedding album. They are so important! Everyone wants to look at a beautiful wedding album. Try pulling out a shoebox full of photos if you want to see people suddenly start looking at their watches. An album tells the story of your whole day in photos, arranged in an artistic way. Parents often want copies. I work with my couples to make sure their album is perfect for them. It's a couple's first family treasure to cherish and pass down to children.

Here are some of my favorite panoramic spreads!

Crystal & Justin Album Favorites

Crystal is one of the sweetest people I know. We didn't do an album when we did their "re-wedding" but it's high time we did one. Here are some of my favorite spreads. Tehama County brides and others looking for the perfect fit for their wedding photographer, please come see me at the Tehama County Bridal Faire in a couple weeks and take a look at some albums up close and personal!

Wedding Albums...Love, love, love them!!!

I'm a confessed wedding album-aholic.

I enjoy designing albums so much that I decided to just stop asking if brides wanted them, and simply add them into my wedding packages. You're just going to get one. You know you want one!

I use both Asuka and Graphi, artistically laying out the pages of your album in a way that tells the complete story of your wedding day. It's a labor of love! Of course, you get to review it and let me know if you'd like any changes.

Normally I am showing you a draft of your wedding album within just a few weeks of your wedding -- sometimes sooner.

Here are some of my favorite panoramic layouts from recent albums.










And of course, The Red Dress!
