Here’s the front:

Jaime and Jesse are so creative!  They came into the studio with a bunch of different ideas for their cards.  They decided on the next concept for the back of the card, and I think it came out awesome!

Stay tuned for their wedding in October!

My packages that include albums now also include a proof magazine, which is just a fancy term for a hardcover book with thumbnails of all of your wedding photos!  The proof magazine is a really nice book – its got a hard cover, is lightweight, and is printed on great quality paper.  And it has a big photo of you on the cover!

The proof magazine is very helpful when making your album selections – you can circle the photos you like, cross out the ones that aren’t your favorites, bring the book around to ask your friends and family for suggestions, and be able to look at your wedding photos wherever you are!

Hello all!  I’m adding a fun new product for 2010 weddings – a specially designed proof box filled with 4×6 printed proofs!

This is a sample from Dianna and Ryan’s wedding, which incorporates their colors and three photos from their big day.

Look at all these beautiful prints!  I think there are over 800 in there!

If you’re a 2010 bride and would like to add this to your package, drop me a line and we’ll discuss!!

I got my first guest book sample in this week from Finao, an awesome modern album company that I use for most of my album needs.

The guest book is basically a flush-mount album with photos from your engagement session on one side, and blank pages on the opposite side for all of your guests to sign on the wedding day.

There are all sorts of choices you can make for your guest book.  They come with white or black pages and come in a variety of sizes and capacities.  There is no shortage of cool cover options, from faux suedes to modern eclectic patterns.   One of the reasons I love Finao is because of all of their brightly colored cover options!  This sample is a 6×9 inch horizontal book with white pages and a silk brocade cover (called Mimosa!  awesome!).

The photo guest book is a great keepsake from your wedding day and a unique way to showcase images from your engagement session.

There are two different options for albums – flush mount albums and coffee table books.  Let’s take a look at a coffee table book.  Coffee table books are like art books – they are fresh, modern, and light.  They can be stored on your shelf with your other books if you don’t want to take care of a giant wedding album.  You can choose from a photo cover (see below) or a leather cover.  If you choose a photo cover, the book comes with a dust jacket that can be removed.

If you decide to go with an A La Carte coverage instead of one of the Packages, don’t fear!  You can purchase a coffee table book from your wedding up to three years after your wedding date.

There are two different options for albums – flush mount albums and coffee table books.   The first, flush mount albums, are great!  They are heavy, durable, and come in a variety of different sizes.  My favorite thing about them, though, is the zillion different cover options you can choose from.  There are leathers, suedes, silks, patterns, patent leathers, oh my!   You can also add engraving or photo indentations on the cover, and can upgrade to two different cover materials (see below).

They are awesome and if you’re looking to make a parent album the flush mounts are your best option.  Photographic prints are mounted directly to thick pages that lay flat, giving you a great way to display your favorite images from your day.
