Ann & Kam are a husband & wife duo based out of Chicago. We have had the pleasure of designing albums for them since 2013! To date we've designed over 70 albums for their clients. Their background in music and architecture truly influences their photography style. They are amazing at capturing grand venues and art in a truly creative and timeless way!  
 
We always take our clients' design preferences into account when designing for them. And Ann & Kam prefer less white space in their designs. We often use their most epic photos as large focal points throughout the design as well. We love the way this glamorous downtown wedding translated onto the pages of an album!

We find so much joy working with our clients' beautiful images! The photos from this week's featured design come from the camera of Pennsylvania based Madeline Isabella and she is truly SO talented! This wedding was special because it was the wedding of her cousin. I think when the photographer has a personal connection with their client, they do some of their best work. And you can see that connection shining through these images! 
 
We have had the pleasure of working with Madeline for a number of years now and featured another one of her stunning designs here. It's an honor to be able to share another one of her designs with you today!

Katie & Kevin started off, like all 2020 couples did, with a larger wedding in mind. They booked a live band - the whole shabang! They wanted to be mindful of it being cozy, intimate & elegant with their original 125 guest list. Things changed when, in July, they made the decision to cancel their wedding at their gorgeous California venue and opt for the Collins Cottage at Lido House Hotel. They had already booked the cottage for family to stay in for the wedding weekend and after doing a non-negotiable head count they realized that, with Tara and Stephen of Pattengale Photography as their photographers, their guest count came to 13. If California mandated 10 or less it would be impossible for them to celebrate without regrets. So they put their heads together and that's when they realized that because the cottage is a private rental and more like a "home" they could gather all 11 loved ones + their photographers & planner, because it would not be considered an "event."  
 
Thus the most beautiful intimate wedding was born. 
 
The florist transformed the small balcony into a rooftop garden, placing greenery on ledges and all the corners to provide additional privacy as well as beauty. The groom built a table to go on top of the non-movable marble coffee table that had been placed in the gazebo. That way guests could sit comfortably for a full course dinner served on china that was Katie's grandmother's. Every touch was so personal and made their wedding perfect for them, despite the challenges that the pandemic sent their way. 
 
Tara & Stephen captured this wedding day SO beautifully -- it is some of their best work to date!

You guys!!! This sample album that we created for Maryland based wedding photographer Anna Lowe is TO DIE FOR!! It is SO GOOD! Not only did we design this album, but we also printed it! It is an 8x8 Align Legacy Book covered in our Parchment Linen.  
 
And get this -- after Anna shared this sample album on her Instagram stories, the client feature in it got in touch and asked to order one for themselves!! Wow! That is such a testimony to the power of a sample album! Having a stunning sample is the #1 key to selling albums! And Anna was SO SMART to share this beauty all over her social media accounts! When you share your passion for albums and show them off, clients see them and want one for themselves! Selling albums is really that simple -- share your passion for them, and show them off! 
 
Anna even included this beautiful sample album in her brand video -- check it out:  
 
 
 
Anna was so kind to shoot some photos of this album and share them with us. Check them out along with some of our favorite spreads from the design:

So we are still picking our jaws up off the floor after receiving these stunning images of an album we designed for Iowa based wedding photographer Bethany McNeill! These have to be some of the prettiest images of a finished album that we've ever received and we couldn't be more grateful to Bethany for taking the time to shoot and share them with us!  
 
We've had the pleasure of working with Bethany for 2 years now and we love being a part of her team! She is super-talented AND ridiculously kind. Our favorite combo :).  
 
We designed this album for her clients Olivia & Joshua and Bethany had it printed through Miller's Professional Imaging. The subtly textured white linen with gold debossing is such a classy combo!

Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:
