We cannot decide what our favorite part of this album design might be. Is it the joy-filled couple in love? Maybe. Is it the rolling grassy fields with the mountains in the back? Probably. Is it Nicki Metcalf's beautiful photography? Yes! ....Oh wait, is that a cute dog on Spread 6? Our favorite part of this album design is definitely how Nicki Metcalf photographed that happy dog (and a happy couple in a beautiful setting!). 
 
Nicki is a talented wedding photographer who, like us, loves dogs! We love when we get to work with her and her gorgeous images!  
 
Here are some of our favorite spreads from this album.

Ooh la la! We get to share a album design we created for Abby Grace Photography today! This featured design is from a stunning black tie wedding Abby photographed in Washington D.C. Everything about these images and this event is timeless, classic, and pure elegance. LOVE!  
 
Abby is no stranger to this blog... You can check out many of her previously featured designs by visiting her Align Client Advocate page. There's also an awesome video testimonial from Abby over there! 
 
Abby photographs each one of her wedding albums so that she can share them on her blog and social media. This allows her to effectively communicate her passion for albums with her followers. Her future clients can't help but envision their own wedding album when they see gorgeous photos like the following! For tips on how Abby photographed this album, check out the video she made for our "Tips on Photographing Albums" post.  
 
Now onto this Leather Craftsmen beauty!

Here's the album design in its entirety:

We know we're in for a treat when we see a new album design order from Amelia Soper Photography pop up on our order queue! Amy is a fun-loving and talented photographer based out of Washington state who has been with Align since Day 1, yes literally our first day of business in 2012! We're SO thankful we've gotten the opportunity to work with her and her gorgeous images for the past 5+ years! 
 
Today's featured album design is from a wedding Amy photographed at a beautiful, rustic, white-washed barn. We LOVE how the cheery yellow and gray color scheme of this event carries over into the album design thanks to the consistency of Amy's photos. 
 
Below are some of our favorite spreads from this design. Enjoy!

Engagement photos aren't meant to just be posted on Facebook and then forgotten about! We absolutely love when we get to use engagement photos to create an album design that will become the couple's wedding guest sign-in book. It's a great way to utilize those gorgeous engagement pics while also ending up with a guest book worthy of flipping through again post-wedding.  
 
If you're interested in having Align design a guest book for your client's wedding, be sure to mention it in the "additional notes" section of the order form so we know to leave plenty of extra space for signatures. Our Simple Design Style is the best choice for guest books because it averages only 2-3 images/spread instead of the 5 images/spread average of our other styles.  
 
Below is a gorgeous guest book album we created for Becca Rillo, a boutique wedding photographer based out of Los Angeles. It makes us so happy that the white space in the following layouts will contain sentiments the couple will treasure forever!

Here's the album in action on the couple's wedding day!

Today we're excited to feature an album design we made for Massachusetts-based photographer Caroline Talbot! You may remember Caroline from when we featured her album workflow in this blog post. Here's an excerpt: 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"While there is a ton of software that can easily create layouts for me, I could never quite seem to end up with a design I loved. When I realized I hated designing albums, regardless of how easy the software is, I started outsourcing to Align Album Design. I would much rather spend that time shooting or with family. It's 100% worth it for the time I save alone. One of my favorite parts of Align is that they're so easy to communicate with and are always ahead of their promised deadlines! I also love knowing I can work with the same designer if I choose! Shannon is amazing at knowing exactly which images will fit perfectly together for that wow factor for an amazing album!"
-- Caroline of Caroline Talbot Photography

Today's featured design contains Caroline's beautiful images of a classy country club wedding. Caroline even sent us a few photos of the finished Leather Craftsmen split edition album! Super cool! Check it out below...
