It's always a day brightener when we see a new album design order from Sarah Bradshaw Photography pop up in our queue! Sarah is a sweet, smart, and talented editorial wedding photographer based in Washington DC. The weddings she photographs always seem so timelessly elegant, and the one we're featuring here on our blog today is no exception! The following album design contains Sarah's stunning photographs of a sophisticated wedding celebration held at the Congressional Country Club near DC. We adore the men's bow ties, the classic car, and the pure joy radiating from the newlyweds. Thanks for allowing us to work with your beautiful images, Sarah!

It's show & tell day today on our blog! Or at least that's what I'm calling it because I'm equally excited about showing you photos of Chicka Artistica Photography's studio sample album AND telling you all about what Align Legacy Books are! 
 
Align Legacy Books are our in-house line of high-quality printed albums! Here at Align Album Design, we offer album design services to photographers using hundreds of different album printing & binding companies. Wanna see a list of the top 10 most popular? However we ALSO offer our own heirloom albums for photographers who want a one-stop-shop. And they're pretty darn beautiful if I do say so myself! 
 
We're going ga-ga over these photos Meghan Santana of Chicka Artistica Photography sent us of the studio sample album she ordered through Align Legacy Books. Meghan runs both her photography business and her Chicka & Co clothing company -- this girl is on fire! We're so happy we get to help her offer wedding albums to her photography clients easily and efficiently. 
 
Her 10x10 Align Legacy Book features a magical farm wedding on 15 spreads of our thick-page paper. The cover is our Yukon colored leather with the couple's names and wedding date engraved on the front. 
 
Check it out below!

Knock Knock!  
...Who's there?  
A bee.  
...A bee who?  
A bee Grace's album is on our blog today! :) 
 
There's a very good chance that joke flops due to its written format, haha, but we're excited about featuring an album we made for Abby Grace Photography on our blog today! Abby is a fantastic wedding and anniversary photographer based out of Washington D.C. We've featured many of her designs on our blog in the past, so if you'd like to see more of her work, click over to her Align Client Advocate page. 
 
Today we get to show off the album design that contains Abby's photos of a black tie wedding at the extravagant Mellon Auditorium in D.C. We absolutely love how Abby's photography brings out both the sophistication and fun personalities of her clients and their wedding day. 
 
Here are some photographs Abby sent us of the finished Leather Craftsmen album. For tips on how Abby photographed these spreads, check out the video she made for our "Tips on Photographing Albums" post. Now onto the prettiness...

We've been so torn! We have these photos of a beautiful Valentine themed Align Legacy Book to share -- do we share it now or do we wait until next February's Valentine's Day? Ultimately we decided that this beauty was way too good to kept dormant on our hard drive for 10 months. So we're sharing the love with you today! Let's bring the romance of Valentine's Day to April! 
 
The styled shoot featured in this album's pages includes shades of red, blush and gold to tell the story of two star-crossed lovers coming together in a deeply heartfelt elopement. The photography is by Heather Anderson, a fine art film wedding and engagement photographer based in Southern California. This Align Legacy Book will be her new studio sample!  
 
What's an Align Legacy Book? Glad you asked! Here at Align, we have been providing album design services to hundreds of photographers for more than 5 years. But for the past year, we've been offering our own in-house line of high-quality printed albums too! See this page for all the details.  
 
Thank you SO MUCH to Heather for sending us the following photographs of her finished 10x10 Align Legacy Book! This album has a Cobblestone colored linen cover with engraving on the front and the Align sample stamp on the back. The interior contains 16 spreads of our thin-page paper.  
 
Hope you enjoy this love-filled album as much as we do!

You better believe we're swooning over today's featured album design! The following album features Jennifer Larsen's photography of a sweet New Jersey barn wedding full of sentimental details, a lovely venue, and a sweet couple in love. So much goodness packed into one album! 
 
Jen is a talented wedding and anniversary photographer based in New Jersey who we absolutely adore working with! Her design style preferences fall in between our Classic and Simple design styles which we feel give her designs an extra crisp and clean look. Another request Jen communicates is that she likes her albums to start with separate individual portraits of the bride and groom. We love how this special touch makes Jen's albums unique and personalized!  
 
Thanks so much, Jen, for sending us photos of this MIller's Signature Album from Miller's Professional Imaging. We love seeing the finished product of our design work, especially when the photos are styled as beautifully as yours!
