Hear ye, hear ye! We'd like to introduce you to Align's newest Client Advocate, the talented Caroline Logan! She's a wedding photographer based in Pennsylvania AND she's a total sweetheart! Here's what she has to say about outsourcing with Align.... 
 
"The great thing about outsourcing my album design is that HALLELUJAH, I have my life back! Before using Align, I found myself nearly wishing that clients wouldn't invest in an album because I knew how time-consuming album design is and how overwhelming back and forth client revisions can be. But now, when clients choose to invest in an album, I'm excited knowing it's a win-win: my clients get to have a legacy album in their hands within weeks after their wedding, and I'll have more freedom than ever before. All because of Align. It doesn't get much better!" 
 
And we'd like to chime in and add that it's a win-win-WIN situation because WE get to work with Caroline's beautiful images, like those featured in the following fun woodsy wedding album! Thanks, Caroline, for sending us photos of the finished KISS Books album! We're smitten! 

And here is the album design in its entirety! Enjoy!

Abby Grace Photography does it again, folks! We loved working with her photographs of this elegant church wedding with an outdoor tented reception. The design utilizes a lot of negative white space to present clean, crisp, wow-enducing album layouts. 
 
Abby is an uber-talented wedding & anniversary photographer based in Washington, D.C. We love her. She's also one of Align's client advocates -- we're flattered that our love for her is reciprocated! Abby recently recorded a video for our website that you HAVE to check out here. In it, she talks about how her previous album workflow was so slow that it soured her clients' experience. We're so thankful that she now partners with Align to give her clients the speed and service that they deserve in the final step of their wedding photography process -- in turn leaving them thrilled with their overall choice to hire her. 
 
Bonus points: Abby also sent us the photos of this beautiful album after she received it from Leather Craftsmen. Enjoy the prettiness!!

It's no secret that we're huge fans of Anna Shackleford, a fine art wedding photographer who is also one of Align's Client Advocates. You may remember her work from the times we've featured Anna K Photography on our blog (here, here, and here), but for today's post we're excited to feature this business by its newly rebranded name -- Anna Shackleford Photography!  
 
Anna has been a long-time advocate of outsourcing album designs (she wrote a great article on The Efficiency of Outsourcing). Earlier this year, Anna and her husband Daniel began traveling the country in a 28 ft. travel trailer in pursuit of a more simple and meaningful lifestyle. Outsourcing has continued to be a very freeing aspect of their business. Anna says, "We outsource so much of what we do so that we can focus the majority of our energy on loving and serving our clients well while sowing the seeds for a strong marriage." We're happy Align has been able to play a part in their journey! 
 
Today we're excited to show off this dreamy St. Simons Island wedding's album design. Anna even sent us some photos of the final album they ordered from KISS Books. Check out this beauty!

And here's the full album design! Click through the slideshow below:

This outdoor Tennesee wedding simply radiates charm and beauty! AND I am swooning over these flowers!!! 
 
This lovely event was photographed by the Nashville-based Watson Studios. Dan requested Align's Simple Design Style (no more than 4 images per spread), which is often a style requested for portrait albums, but I feel like the minimalist style is what MAKES this design. *heart eyes*  
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads:

And here's the full design. Enjoy flipping through!

Flipping through this album design makes me so happy! Virginia-based photographer Kaitlyn Phipps captured this couple's joy on their wedding day so well that I can feel the emotion myself! Of course, the paper planes and Coca-Cola bottles put a smile on my face too! 
 
But these images and the album design aren't meant solely for online viewing! Kaitlyn is passionate about providing her clients with an physical album that they can show their grandchildren someday. Check out this post on her blog called The Perfect Way to Tell Your Wedding Story. 
 
We even have some photos of the printed KISS Books album to share with you! Thanks for sending these our way, Kaitlyn!!

And here's the whole happy design! :) Enjoy!
