What a lovely album design we get to show off today!! This elegant wedding was photographed by Virginia & DC wedding photographer Kristen Gardner and she did SUCH an amazing job capturing the beauty and joy of the event! We absolutely love creating timeless albums out of Kristen's beautiful images. You can see some of our past collaborations with her here and here. 
 
But first, here are some of our favorite spreads from this album design of a gorgeous Virginia wedding! Enjoy!

Get ready for some beauty! The following is an album design featuring photographs by Britt Croft, a South Carolina and Georgia wedding and portrait photographer. We love Britt's photography, her sweet personality, and her passion for albums. Here's what Britt shares on the Albums page of her website: 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"One of the most bittersweet parts of your wedding day is that it's entirely fleeting. Moments come and go in the blink of an eye, and when it's all said and done you have two things remaining...your marriage and your wedding photos. Your wedding album is a truly unique heirloom because it's not just for you and your spouse, but also for your kids, grandkids, and generations that will come after you. I picture each of my couples with a grandchild on their lap, flipping the pages of their wedding album and telling them the story of the best day ever; the day that put their lives in motion. At the end of your experience, my hope is that you have a wedding album on your coffee table, wedding photos on your walls, and that you celebrate and cherish your images as art in your home. Your story deserves it."  
      --Brittani of Britt Croft Photography

We completely agree!  
 
And now we're excited to show off one of Britt's albums here on our blog today! This featured design showcases her photographs of a gorgeous Georgia wedding full of southern charm, elegant details, and sweet romance. Britt even sent us the following photographs of the finished Madera Books album. What a perfect heirloom for this couple! Take a look...

Brace yourself for some stunning eye candy ahead! We always love designing albums for the lovely Katelyn James and this beautiful outdoor wedding's album is no exception! We hit the jackpot by getting to work with these images that combine the picturesque scenery of Pippin Hill Farm, a couple with supermodel good looks, and Katelyn's talent for capturing joy and emotion! Plus, we love how Katelyn's design preferences (a combination between Align's Classic and Simple styles) allows the images to really shine within the design! 
 
To see previous albums we've designed for Katelyn, check out her profile in our Client Advocate section. 
 
But first, here's today's featured album design! Enjoy!

We have not only ONE Align Legacy Book to show you today, but TWO! Tahiry Humrich recently ordered two new samples for her studio so that she can show her future clients the difference between a standard album and the accompanying parent album. While the physical albums differ in size and price, both contain the same 15 interior spreads featuring a beautiful outdoor Florida plantation wedding. 
 
Not sure what an Align Legacy Book is? Here at Align, we have been providing album design services to hundreds of photographers for more than 6 years. But last year, we began offering our own in-house line of high-quality printed albums too! We can be an all-in-one solution for busy photographers! See this page for all the details.

"I love my new sample albums! Like way more than I should for not being the actual bride in the books, hahaha. Align has seriously taken this album design process and made it so simple for me :) I can actually feel good about selling gorgeous albums now!"  
      --Tahiry of Tahiry Humrich Photography

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Here at Align, we believe every photographer who wants to sell albums should have a dedicated albums page on their website. So we're absolutely loving that Tahiry's website has this section in which she explains to her clients why albums are important. Tip: If you need help creating content for this page, check out our Album Start Up Kit which includes copy & paste text AND stock photos of Align Legacy Books!  
 
Like I mentioned earlier, Tahiry picked out two different sets of physical album options for her sample albums. Her standard album is a 10x10 album with thick pages and a "Ballet Slipper" leather cover with cameo cutout window. The smaller parent album is an 8x8 album with thin pages and a "Silhouette" linen cover (also with a cameo window). We love that Tahiry was able to photograph the difference between these two album styles so that we can share them here! 
 
Check 'em out!

It's no secret that we love working with Erin Lindsey, a destination wedding photographer based in North Alabama. We've gushed about her in a couple of previous blog posts (see them here and here). And what's not to love? Erin's photography is beautiful, she's a sweetheart, and her elegantly clean design preferences come naturally to us! 
 
Today we're featuring an album design we created for Erin using her images of a romantic Huntsville, Alabama wedding. Everything about this wedding and the resulting album is stunning. Can you believe that the elegant reception venue was actually the bride's grandparents' beautiful home?!  
 
Thanks to Erin for sending us the following photos of the WHCC album that this couple will be treasuring forever!
