Laura & Mark

I like to create my albums with a bit of a simplistic approach. Personally, I feel that a simple design renders a quality that will allow the design to stand the test of time.

For the next couple of days, I hope to give you a treat. I will be posting 5 – 10 complete wedding album designs that I have done this wedding season.

When I receive a finished book back from my book binder, I always have a smile on my face. If you’re a wedding photographer, and you are not smiling when you see your finial creation, you had better change the type of photography you are doing.

At this point in my photographic career, I am feeling really good about the quality of my work, and I am having the best run of my life.

When things get really busy for me, I don’t think it is bad to slow down or stop to assess the situation in front of you, because I want my business to survive another day. To see another day for the past 10 years of being self-employed is a great feeling.

As my business continues to grow, I hope to forge the way and deliver album designs to my customers that have never been seen before.

This first album has images from an engagment shoot done in Paris! Wow! I just finished designing the first version of this album yesterday, the customer has already come into view the desing. Some revisions have been ordered, which I have not started on yet... but I just couldn't wait to show this one off.

One more thing. When we think of opening a book, you normally would open the book from the right to the left. This book opens from the bottom to the top. Just a really fun twist, that reminds you that you are looking at something important when viewing it.

I have posted the layouts side by side, but each image that you look at represents two sides to the album.
