When I began flipping through this album design, I was super impressed by the lovely soft, feminine, cohesive beauty of Alicia Lacey's photography...then BOOM the ceremony takes place in old mill ruins. SO unique and awesome!! I was sold! Looking back, Align designer Sarah teases the mill ruins the very first spread, but I was oblivious until I saw Alicia's epic high angle shot on the ceremony spread. Even if I just ruined the surprise (ha! see what I did there!?), I still highly suggest you flip through this whole stunning album design.  
 
Alicia is based out of Washington, DC. and her ability to capture romance in her photography is spectacular. Not only are we thankful that we got the chance to work with her lovely images, but we are EXTRA thankful that she sent us photos of the final printed album! Check out this beauty from Madera!

And here's your chance to page through the whole album design. Enjoy!

I moved to Arizona a couple years ago (from the flat Midwest) and I've yet to lose my sense of awe at the desert landscape with mountainous backgrounds that are so different from the mostly flat scenery I grew up with. That being said, it makes sense that I would have a soft spot for this gorgeous desert wedding photographed by Cassie Madden Photography. While Cassie is a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Texas, she traveled to Arizona's Superstition Mountains to shoot beautiful images of this event! 
 
Cassie ROCKS for sending us photos of the final Millers album her clients will receive. Take a look through this album design -- not only for some great desert scenery, but also for the wedding party dancing up the aisle, the adventure-themed details, and the sweet genuine affection between the bride & groom.

Well... there's no denying that this one is a stunner! This pink and gold wedding by Justin & Mary Marantz has the perfect balance of lovely simple details and WOW glamour. From photographs of flower crowns to the Branford House Mansion venue, the images from this wedding sure look good displayed in an album! We'd like to thank the talented duo of Justin & Mary for regularly letting us work with their gorgeous images! You can see more of their work in these album designs: Elegant Miami Wedding, Autumn Museum Wedding, and London Anniversary Session. 
 
And a bonus thank you to Mary for sending us the following images of the printed album from Leather Craftsmen. It's incredible to see the design in its final form! Take a look...

This Pender Island, BC wedding photographed by Erin Wallace Photography gives the term "island wedding" a whole new meaning! While there are plenty of gorgeous portraits on the rocky shoreline, the rustic woods are strongly represented as well! LOVE! 
 
This is the first album design we've collaborated on with Erin and it was truly a pleasure to work with her beautiful images! After she received my initial design Erin told me, "Thank you for such a fabulous job on the design. I have trouble eliminating images and making decisions, so you made my life so much easier." How relatable is that!?!! I, too, struggle with making decisions whenever I create my own personal albums and photo books. I'm too emotionally attached to the photos, either because I took them myself or because they feature my loved ones. But when I design albums for Align clients, I can crank out a design quickly because I'm able to focus solely on the goal of storytelling. Then, once there is a good solid foundation for the album, clients can swap in their preferred images while easily keeping the story/flow intact. It's a win-win for everyone!

Simply stunning! I love how this album design feels both whimsical and down-to-earth at the same time! Amanda Kohler's photography featuring an outdoor Field Club of Omaha wedding radiates both beauty and fun -- in our opinion, the perfect combination! 
 
Amanda is an Omaha-based photographer whose previous album designs can be found on our blog here and here. We adore Amanda's classic and beautiful photography style!
