Pennsylvania-based wedding photographer Sara Haines came to us midway through the year last year in need of some help with albums, and we were thrilled to become a part of her team! Sara recently shared this about her experience working with Align: 
 
I couldn't have been happier with the design process! I remember feeling completely overwhelmed prior to outsourcing album design and I KNEW that in order to provide my clients with the best customer service possible, I had to get other professionals involved in my workflow. I recall the day that I was behind on 6 albums--weekends were busy capturing weddings and completing daily administrative tasks. I reached out to Align and it was the BEST decision I ever made! Now I send all my albums to Align and I LOVE the options and turnaround time that they provide. Not only was it SO easy, the platform opened up an opportunity for me to show my clients the product prior to printing. I'm so glad I found Align!!! 
 
Yay!! US TOO!!  
 
Sara's work is stunning and the wedding in our featured design today is so precious. You guys -- the bride made her entire wedding dress herself!!! WHAT!? SO incredible! The couple got married in the backyard of a cabin that was built by the groom's grandfather -- a nostalgic place where he grew up. And even though it rained most of the day, the couple's joy was contagious and the day turned out incredible! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:

Texas-based wedding photographer Gaby Caskey had us pre-design this album with 5 additional spreads over what the couple included in their package and they ended up upgrading and purchasing all of them! I'd call that a win for upselling, for Gaby, AND for the couple! They are now proud owners of a stunning leather-bound 15 spread heirloom album that tells the story of their wedding day SO beautifully! For most weddings, it takes more than 10 spreads in an album to really do the story justice, so we're so glad they chose to upgrade! If you are a photographer reading this and you are interested in learning more about how to up-sell the RIGHT way, click here for our top 3 tips! 
 
Gaby did an amazing job styling the elegant green and gold details from this wedding day as well as capturing the joy of this couple as they were married in front of their family and friends. She was also kind enough to photograph the printed Miller's Lab album and send us these stunning photos! We are so excited to share some of our favorite spreads from this design with you today:

Oregon and Seattle-based photographer Rick Andrew Baleros of Iron & Rye has a real knack for connecting with both his clients AND nature when it comes to his photography. We are so drawn into his style that feels so authentic and full of personality. We've been working with Rick and his clients on their album designs and printing for 4 years now and today we are so excited to be able to share yet another one of his stunning designs!  
 
The fun thing about this wedding album design is that we ALSO got to design this couple's engagement album! You can see it here! Rick gifted his clients their engagement album -- isn't that an incredible idea?! What a great way to nurture a love for albums in your clients!  
 
There is so much to love about this album design, but rather than continuing to gush over it, we thought we'd show you a few of our favorite spreads so you can see what we mean:

We have been working with South Carolina-based wedding photographer Dana Cubbage for 8 years and have designed 40 albums for her so far! We have featured many of them over the years, but today's design has to be one of our favorites!  
 
Dana did such a fabulous job of capturing the spirit of Charleston throughout this wedding! The images we had the pleasure of using for this design exuded such a sense of place! And the bride's mom made a lot of strategic planning decisions based around photography including the beautiful pink church and the vintage car they used for portraits. Wow! This album is such a page-turner! We adore how it turned out!

Ernie & Fiona are a husband-wife photography team based out of California who we have had the honor of working with for 3 years now. They are amazing at what they do and seem to have a real knack for making their clients feel comfortable and cut loose in front of their cameras! They shoot a high volume of weddings and sell a lot of albums! We have designed close to 50 albums for them in the past 3 years! We love the chance to be a part of their team and free them up to shoot as much as they can! 
 
Today's feature album design is a beautiful example of their work. We love the connection they captured between the couple, the fun bridal party shots and the farm pick-up truck! There's so much to love about this design! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:
