We're not sure how they did it, but the wedding in today's featured album design is both "classic" and "cool" at the same time! On the classic side of things, we swoon over the tuxedos & bow ties, the bride's high neckline gown, the ornate church, and Lisa Mathewson's timeless photography style. And then for the cool side, we love seeing the groom serenading his bride during their first look, the reception held in the Harley Davidson Museum, and the bride's shorter reception dress. What a fantastic combination! 
 
Lisa Mathewson is a talented wedding and portrait photographer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who describes her style as "journalistic, simple, modern, organic and most of all, real". We absolutely love working with her and her beautiful images! 
 
Check out our favorite spreads from this album, plus some photographs Lisa took of the finished Red Tree album!

Here's the design in it's entirety! Enjoy flipping through!

Hi friends! We've got a dazzling album design to show you today! The following album design features Justin & Mary Marantz's beautiful photographs of a Chesapeake Bay wedding. We just love the romantic details, stunning portraits, and genuine emotion that J&M were able to capture!  
 
Some distinguishing features of Justin & Mary's albums include the vertical orientation, having each spread be all color OR all black & white, and including a spread full of gorgeous reception details in a collage grid. To see more albums from this New England husband & wife photography team, check out this Stunning Connecticut Wedding and this Elegant Miami Wedding.

Hey guys, check out this gorgeous album design featuring photography by Gina Petersen! We adore it and we adore Gina, an awesome wedding & high school senior photographer serving the San Francisco North Bay. 
 
Our Classic Design Style typically includes an average of 5 images/spread, but because this bride loved so many of Gina's photos, Align Designer Kari was asked to include more than that. No problem! Kari's strategy on most spreads was to balance out the busier collages with one or two large focal images. Plus, she started and ended the design on a single image so that she could give those beautiful portraits the attention they deserved! 
 
Now onto the lovely design! Here are some of our favorite spreads...

Today's featured album is a true dazzler! Danielle Bacon's photographs of this beautiful desert wedding are stunning and we can't stop ourselves from flipping through the design over and over!  
 
We also love what Danielle has to say about albums on her blog! She writes, "I sincerely believe that every one of my brides should leave me with a stunning album in their hands. I know that it will bring them so much joy. It is their first family heirloom and even more importantly, it documents the beginning of their legacy. It will come to mean the world to their children and eventually their grandchildren. An absolutely priceless investment that becomes more valuable over time."  
 
We absolutely love that!!! And we also love that Danielle sent us photos of the finished album -- a Uni Albums 12x12 album with thick lay-flat pages and a sable-colored premium leather cover with laser engraving. Check out this beauty!

Here's the full album design! Enjoy!

It's no secret that we adore Washington D.C. based wedding photographer Abby Grace! We love working with her beautiful images and blogging about the resulting album designs (as shown here, here, and here). Can you blame us??! Today's featured album design for this Virginia vineyard wedding is no exception! Just take a look at the picturesque scenery, those lovely details, and the joy-filled excitement that Abby was able to capture! 
 
Abby also sent us photos of this gorgeous Leather Craftsmen album that she got to deliver to these clients. What a stunner! For advice from Abby on how to easily photograph your albums (to blog, post on social media, or share with your favorite album designers...hint hint), check out our Tips & Tricks for Photographing Your Albums blog post in which Abby shares a super helpful how-to video. 
 
Now onto the prettiness...

And here's the complete design! Enjoy!
