Today we have such a fun engagement album design to share with you! We have had the pleasure of working with Hudson Valley New York Wedding and Portrait photographer Nidya Lloyd for the past 7 years on over 50 albums! Her loose editorial style makes for beautiful images to fill out the pages of an album and of particular note -- the clear skies and perfect skin tones in her images are superb! 
 
The sweet couple in this design love hiking and exploring and opted to do their engagement shoot at the picturesque Perkins Memorial Tower at Bear Mountain overlooking the Hudson River Valley.  
 
We love how this design turned out! Nidya chose our "Simple" Design style -- which is perfect for engagement and portrait albums as it includes 1-4 images per spread and clean white backgrounds. The design came out to 10 spreads (20 pages) and was approved by her client after just one revision round! Nidya used our Hands-off Service, which allowed us to communicate directly with her clients and streamline the revision process. 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this fun engagement album design:

Thank you, Nidya, for trusting us with your clients and your gorgeous images for so many years!

Jamie and Javier recently tied the knot at the picturesque Vine Hill House in Sonoma County, bringing together the cozy charm of a backyard wedding with the sweeping beauty of vineyard views. Jamie, a Sonoma local, and Javier, originally from Spain, chose a natural and intimate setting to reflect their personalities and love story. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wouldn't be your typical wedding day. 
 
The couple's non-traditional style came through in every detail-from the relaxed vibe to the intentional celebration of their surroundings. Their wedding day felt both effortless and deeply meaningful, anchored in the love they share and the people they chose to celebrate with. Guests enjoyed a lively dance floor and a perfect fall evening capped with s'mores roasted under the stars-what could be better? 
 
Well, we'd argue the only thing that rivals experiencing this wedding in person is reliving it through the pages of their album. Is there anything better than a wine country wedding on a cool fall day? The spreads of this wedding album make a strong case that there is not. 
 
We had so much fun working on this stunning 30-spread, 60-page album for Eileen of Buena Lane Photography. Eileen's work beautifully captured not only the golden vineyard setting and thoughtful details, but also the genuine connections and joyful moments shared throughout the day. Her clean and minimal aesthetic -- favoring fewer images per spread -- let every photo truly shine. 
 
Designing this album was a joy. It's never easy to fit the full story of a wedding into a limited number of spreads, so we were thrilled to have the space to let each image breathe. Eileen's storytelling through photography made our job seamless, and we're so proud of how this album came together. 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from Jamie and Javier's unforgettable day. We hope you love them as much as we do.

Thank you, Eileen, for allowing us to work with your gorgeous images!

Jean Smith does it again!  
 
We're approaching 200 albums designed for talented Detroit wedding photographer Jean Smith in the past 12 years and have featured over 15 of our favorites on this blog.  
 
We. Cannot. Get. Enough.  
 
Jean can do no wrong. She photographs every single wedding day so flawlessly and her composition, use of light, and documentary story-telling skills always impress.  
 
The album designs we are able to create with Jean's work are definitely stand-outs. Take a look at the first spread below, for instance. We love the mix of black and white and color images, the tight and wide compositions, and how each image stands so beautifully on its own yet fits so cohesively together with the others as a unit on this filmstrip spread.

Here are a few of our other favorites from this gorgeous design:

Today's featured album design is one we created for talented Florida wedding photographer Ailyn La Torre. Over the past 4 years we've designed nearly 50 album designs for Ailyn and each one has been such a treat to create! Her clean, bright, modern and classic photography style lends itself so well to telling the story of a wedding day on the pages of an album.  
 
Ailyn used our Hands-off Service on this design, which really streamlined the revision process, allowing us to communicate directly with her clients, saving her from being the "middleman".  
 
From the bride's stunning Isabel O'Neil gown to the picturesque outdoor palm-lined venue, this wedding day was so beautiful! It was our honor to design an heirloom album for the couple to cherish for generations to come!
