Today's featured wedding album design is a STUNNER. It is 31 spreads (62 pages) and each spread has you more excited than the next!  
 
San Francisco based wedding photographer Eileen Roche of Buena Lane Photography likes a mix of our Classic and Simple design styles and so this design has a great mix of more minimal spreads with fewer images and then some busier spreads that capture so much of the flavor of this unique wedding day!  
 
The bride shares, "Derek and I are both half Cantonese and grew up in the Bay Area. We love our reception venue because we feel it is the perfect homage to our past and future. It reminds us and our families of banquets of the past (some of our family has quite literally been to banquets at the Four Seas) but the food is done is such a fresh, unique and California centric way that represents the way we love to eat as a couple. We love the colors, lights and lushness of the space (all that velvet!) because it does feel like such a nod to the richness of California Chinese culture and a departure from the blush and white tones of a traditional wedding."  
 
In addition to holding the ceremony on the grand staircase of San Fransisco's City Hall, they also had lion dancers welcome guests to the reception and tourists were stopping to take pictures and ask if celebrities were in town! A shout-out goes to The Framework Events and florist Bloomwell & Co for their amazing work on this event! 
 
Eileen had this album printed through Madera Books and used our Send-to-Print option to simplify the ordering process and send the final files directly from our proofing software to her printing company.

Today's featured album design is a massive 40 spread/80 page album that we designed for Ohio Wedding photographer Jessica Vidmar Photography! Jessica printed the album through Album Epoca and was kind enough to send us some photos of the printed album. It's always such a treat to see albums we design in their finished form! 
 
Larger album designs afford us the ability to use fewer images per spread, which in many ways elevates the design and makes your photography shine! In this album, you will notice that we included 4 spreads with just one image full bleed -- like this one of the bridal party: 

Jessica definitely sent us so many images that were worthy of being used LARGE in the design! 
 
Jessica shared this fun fact about this beautiful wedding: "The venue is called Tenk in Cleveland, Ohio. And when I first met the bride Jillian she said she fell in love with the venue and actually changed her wedding colors to copper with greenery and white instead of navy and blush like she was originally planning because of the look of the venue. I remember her saying 'once the venue picks you, you plan around that' -- lol!" 
 
Smart move!

If you think about it, albums are huge projects. They involve a multi-step process with numerous people working on them and can span anywhere from a few weeks to years in time. Thankfully, today's featured album design for talented California wedding photographer Corinna Rose came together seamlessly. Corinna ordered our Hands-off Service so we communicated directly with her clients throughout the revision process, grabbing any images we needed from the full online gallery, and the design was done from start to finish in just two weeks! We also printed this album, and the Align Legacy Book was in Corinna's clients' hands just over a month from the time that the design order was placed!! What a dream!! 
 
Additionally, although the client's package included a 10 spread album, they ended up upgrading to 17 spreads. And the design turned out SO BEAUTIFULLY!! We can't wait to show it off!

We just checked and we've done over FORTY album designs for the fabulous Tori Kelner -- a New Jersey wedding photographer -- in the past 5 years we've had the pleasure of working with her! She is such a kind, upbeat person and her work really captures the essence of her clients. You can see some of the past designs that we've featured of Tori's here and ALSO hear her share her secret for getting albums to her clients within weeks of the wedding! 
 
Today's featured design flows so well. Tori always supplies us with a great variety of images that allow the design to come together so seamlessly and cohesively. Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stand-out design:

Ninety percent of the album designs we do are wedding albums, but we also do all sorts of other genres of album designs: engagement, newborn, family portrait, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate events, parties, boudoir, and senior portrait albums -- which is what today's featured album design is! And it is GORGEOUS!  
 
Minnesota based wedding and portrait photographer Brooke Elisabeth is SO talented -- we absolutely ADORE her and her work! We have been working with Brooke since 2020 and have designed over 20 albums for her in that time. She is also one of our beloved Client Advocates who is available to answer any questions regarding her experience working with Align. You can find out more about her and see some of her other designs we've featured by clicking over to her Client Advocate Profile here! 
 
One of the keys to success for this particular design is that Brooke supplied us with a variety of images that she shot in the same locations. As you can see, each spread is super-cohesive but also interesting because of the variety of images and poses she shot.
