Today's featured wedding album design is one we created for New Jersey based wedding photographer Jen Oceana Photography. It was the first one we designed for Jen and it was approved with no revisions in less than a week! So I'd say that was a successful first date -- haha! 
 
This 20-spread design is stunning. Jen did a fabulous job capturing this romantic beach wedding and we love how the simple spreads with fewer images really showcase her work in a striking way! We have so enjoyed working with Jen on a handful of designs since this one and hope there are many more to come! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:

Today's featured album design is a BIG one! This design we created for San Fransisco based wedding photographer Eileen Roche of Buena Lane Photography is a whopping 31 spreads (62 pages) and oh-so-stunning! 
 
This wedding was also a joyful reunion of friends and family who hadn't seen each other in years and the couple highly-valued capturing their guests enjoying one another. And as you flip through the pages of this album you can see the story unfold and really highlight the joy of the day and the guests! Eileen did such a fabulous job! 
 
We always keep track of our clients' album design preferences so we can nail their initial designs each time. Eileen likes a cross between our Classic and Simple design styles with fewer images per spread and she gravitates toward filmstrip layouts that cross the gutter. Of note -- this design was approved with NO REVISIONS. Which is a win for everyone! We love how it turned out!

The #1 rule in wedding album sales is "You can't sell it if you don't show it." Selling albums is made SO much easier if you have a sample album that you are proud to show off to potential clients. When you place a beautiful sample album in your clients' hands and they get the chance to flip through it, albums practically sell themselves. 
 
North Dakota wedding and portrait photographer Kristen of Krismarie Photography hired us to design a gorgeous sample album to show off one of her favorite engagement shoots to date and we of course think that's a brilliant move! Every client of hers is going to want an engagement album after seeing this beauty! 
 
Kristen requested our Simple Design style which utilized no more than 4 images per spread and is perfect for engagement albums. It really allows her gorgeous images to shine.  
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this fun design:

We've designed a whopping 129 designs for the fabulous Katelyn James in over a decade of working with her and her stunning images! How lucky are we!? But seriously, we feel so blessed to get to work with such a fabulous human who has SO generously shared about us with all of the students who go through her valuable photography education courses. If you're reading this, chances are your photography has been impacted in some way by Katelyn! 
 
I remember when I first talked with Katelyn about the possibility of outsourcing her album design to us, that she was very hesitant -- mainly because she loved doing her own album design and didn't want to release control of this piece of her business to someone else. But she DID take that step and as you can imagine, we have dialed in her design style meticulously and according to Katelyn, she is now able to serve her clients even better than she did before! 
 
This is what we want to be known for more than anything -- we want to become a part of photographers' teams so that they can level up their business and be known for incredible customer service! We've had two photographers in just the last week tell us that the customer service they have received from Align is the best customer service experience THEY HAVE EVER HAD with a company and this is what we want clients to say about every single photographer that we serve! We want that for YOU! And that is what we are here for -- to level up your customer experience and make you look like a rockstar! 
 
Check out this beautiful design we recently wrapped up for Katelyn! She is a sucker for a beautiful bridal detail filmstrip layout that tells a cohesive color story and I think we hit the mark here:

This couple is so sweet -- they were middle school sweethearts!!

Thank you Katelyn for trusting us all these years to be a part of your team!

Do we ever have a beauty for you today!! Ruben Parra is a luxury wedding photographer specializing in weddings in Panama and worldwide. His work is incredible and it has been such a pleasure to work with him for the past couple of years on close to 20 designs.  
 
This particular wedding took place in Panama at a private residence and Ruben captured every moment so beautifully! We had a blast laying out the story of the day in a horizontal album design -- which lends itself particularly well to story telling and allows for a few more images per spread without feeling too busy. 
 
Ruben was so kind to take a few photos of the printed Dreamsbook Album which we are excited to show you today along with a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design!
