How TO DESIGN YOUR WEDDING ALBUM (New Jersey Wedding Photographer)

Wedding

HAPPY SHOPPING! Add some beautiful albums to hold onto your wedding day memories and to share with your friends and family! How special it is when you have your beautiful album displayed on your coffee table! Especially when friends are gathered together to recall all of the fun!!!

Wedding Albums are like fine china!  They are a beautiful heirloom that will be created for you, but also, to be for your children and your grandchildren to cherish! 

When I got married, wedding albums sure did not look like they do today!  They were all film back then and the photographs slipped into little plastic pockets.  Of course, that was all we knew back then.  That being said,  it is so much fun for Jeff and I to spend time looking through our album remembering that perfect day!  And today, seeing our children enjoy it is also so wonderful.  I know someday our grandchildren also will be blessed seeing their grandparents as young people. That is always so much fun!  And now that I have grandchildren, it is even more special! LOL

As a wedding photographer I have to say designing a beautiful wedding album for my couples brings me so much joy.  I cannot wait to sit down and start creating your storybook!!  

 

 Step 1: Choose your Cover Color in Linen or Leather  The cover of your album is a big decision!  So many choices, whether you choose leather or linen I love them both!  For main album and parent albums there is an additional charge of $125.00 for the Luxe Leather I and II. If you choose Luxe Linen there is a $60.00 additional charge.  All the Luxe upgrades do not apply for the Lite Albums.

Step 2: Choose your Cover Photo or Monogramming! (There is an additional $60.00 fee for a cover photo)

 Why not add a petite 6x6 or 5x7 album for a parent! You can also have a parent album created in a 10 x10  or 9 x 12 album book as well.

Step 3: Album Design

On your wedding day the details are super important to me.  I am actually already thinking about how your wedding album will look as I am capturing your wedding day!   Choosing the images that will tell your story is filled with fun, but also it can get a little tough to just choose your very favorites! Then from there, I will design a beautiful layout that will work perfectly to tell your story in the most beautiful way!
