Chesapeake Bay Summer Wedding Album Design for Meghan Elizabeth Photography
Wow wow wow!! Pennsylvania based wedding photographer Meghan Elizabeth captured this seaside wedding in the most gorgeous way! She is truly so talented and we feel so honored to have worked with her on close to a dozen albums in the past year and half.
This album ended up on the large side with 30 spreads. The bride originally wanted a lot of images in her album (as most brides do!) but after seeing some of the busy spreads, she decided to pair down the photos to allow for a less cluttered design. We see this happen again and again and it just goes to show that carefully curating the images to the very best ones from the day will allow those images to shine and tell the story in a more impactful way.
Meghan trusted us throughout the process to communicate directly with her client (using our Hands-off Service) and to facilitate the Cover Finalization process as well. And finally, we also printed it! Meghan ordered a 10x10 Align Legacy Book with a Pebble linen cover and silver foil debossing.
She had this to share: "I could not do this without the Hands-off Service and time save that having Shannon (her preferred designer) provides. It's awesome to know that someone who designs albums professionally and has that eye for design, and knows the albums well is taking things over so that I don't have to stress about it. For example, Shannon shared the advice that a certain color foil doesn't look good on a certain color linen. Which not only provides my clients with a quality product but helps me provide them with a quality service. She's fast and on top of it. If I was designing the albums myself and having to make all the changes, it would take me weeks to get it done in between everything else I have to do to run my full time photography business."
Such kind words! Thank you Meghan!

Whimsical Summer Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith
YOU GUYS. This wedding dress + this photographer + this location. It's too perfect. Prepare yourself for something special.
Michigan based wedding photographer Jean Smith is a long-time favorite of ours. After all we have been working with her for over 11 years and have designed 167 albums and counting for her. We're obsessed with her photography and authentic documentary style. She is one of our beloved Client Advocates and shares here about two mistakes she regrets making when she started her business.
This particular design came together so well in part because of the curated set of images that Jean sent our way. She asked for a design with exactly 20 spreads and that's what we delivered. And her client approved the design in less than 2 weeks! We love when we can help photographers streamline their album process like that!
It's nearly impossible to narrow down the spreads from this design to just a few favorites, but check these out (and they will make you want to click through the full slideshow below!):

Elegant Outdoor New Jersey Wedding Album Design for Lauren Kearns Photography
The colors and textures in this design we put together for New Jersey based wedding photographer Lauren Kearns really drew us in. It is SO SO lovely in every way. Lauren also made use of the venue -- Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey -- for the portraits expertly. Take a look at the variety of locations she captured as well as how cohesive each spread ended up being! (Props to Lauren for taking a great variety of images in each location!)
Lauren used our Hands-off Service to avoid being the middle-man during the revision rounds. We communicated directly with her client and the design was approved and delivered only 8 days after she placed the order with us!
This one was such a pleasure to work on! Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

Pennsylvania Winter Wedding Album Design for Brianna Wilbur Photography
We feel so blessed to have been connected with Lancaster Pennsylvania wedding photographer Brianna Wilbur in just the past year. Her work is absolutely stunning, as you'll see, and she came to us with a pre-defined album design style that she really liked.
We took a few extra rounds of revisions to really hone in on what Brianna wants for her designs. Ultimately when she sent us samples of her previous albums she loved, that really helped her designer, Sarah, understand what she was trying to achieve. Oftentimes it can be tricky to articulate what you are wanting, but you know it when you see it!
Sarah was able to learn Brianna's style which involves more spreads that are full bleed, and has designed 3 albums that fit her brand album style. We are hoping to get the chance to do many more albums together with Brianna in the future!
I think one of the reasons these full bleed collage spreads work so well for Brianna is that she employs very simple backgrounds for her images. So the design doesn't end up feeling too busy even though many images fill the page. Here's a great example along with a few of our other favorite spreads from this gorgeous design:

Spring Minneapolis Wedding Album Design for Brooke Elisabeth Photography
We have had the pleasure of working with Minnesota wedding and family portrait photographer Brooke Elisabeth for 4 years now and we can't say enough good things about her and her work! Her photography style is so clean and classic and her images draw us in every time they come across our screens!
This particular album design came together so well. From the time Brooke submitted the order form to the time the final files were delivered was 12 days flat! One quick revision round for this 20 spread design and DONE! We love it when we can help photographers check one more thing off their lists!
Brooke, like many of our clients, has a preferred designer on our team that she likes to work with consistently -- in this case, Kari -- and Kari has really dialed in Brooke's design style which is on the more minimal side of our Classic Design Style. She gravitates to spreads with 1-4 images per spread.
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:
