We have had the pleasure of designing 70 albums for DC-based wedding photographer Eli Turner in the last 5 years. He is so kind and great to work with and his images are documentary perfection! Eli has really streamlined his album workflow. He has us complete the design for his clients and send him the InDesign files after design approval. He then retouches all the images in the design and swaps them out himself (FYI if you want to send us retouched images after design approval, we are happy to swap them out for you ourselves!) before placing the album order with his preferred vendor -- Sage Wedding Albums. 
 
Today's featured album design is an outdoor garden-themed wedding DREAM. The tent reception with the overhead floral chandelier really sent it over the top for us!

Sean + Kat are a husband and wife wedding photography team based out of Kentucky that we have had the pleasure of working with a number of times now. This particular wedding stood out to us and after reading their blog post about it, we now understand why! It was such an amazing event where 150 people who all knew and loved one another came together around this couple to celebrate a friendship that blossomed into love. It sounds like it was an incredible thing to witness, and the beauty and joy certainly oozes through the pages of this design! 
 
One other thing of note about this album design -- it was approved with NO REVISIONS! haha! In our world -- that is something worth celebrating!

We have had the supreme pleasure of working with talented and cool-to-boot Baltimore-based photographer Anna Lowe for 4 years now. Her images always inspire and so many of the designs we've done for her have ended up being featured here on our blog. 
 
Well, add this chic album to the list! We LOVE how it turned out! This design ended up being 25 spreads. We tend to love designing albums that are over 20 spreads because it really gives room to do a wedding story justice. The images are able to be spread out rather than crammed in and they have room to breathe. Anna always provides us with black and white AND color image options which adds interest to the design. We LOVE color images, but black and white images often add a more intimate, timeless, and dramatic touch to album designs when they are used thoughtfully.

Today's featured wedding album features not one, but TWO incredible weddings! When the pandemic hit, Chloe & Jeremey decided to pivot and host a small intimate backyard wedding on their original wedding date, followed by a larger vow renewal a year out at their venue. It was the perfect choice for them, and this album is half dedicated to each of these important days in their lives. Atlanta-based wedding photographer Kiyah Crittendon did an amazing job capturing both events and she was so kind to photograph and send us photos of the printed Redtree album! We ADORE how it turned out!! Kiyah did such an incredible job capturing the emotion and vibe of each of these unique events.

Pennsylvania-based wedding photographer Sara Haines came to us midway through the year last year in need of some help with albums, and we were thrilled to become a part of her team! Sara recently shared this about her experience working with Align: 
 
I couldn't have been happier with the design process! I remember feeling completely overwhelmed prior to outsourcing album design and I KNEW that in order to provide my clients with the best customer service possible, I had to get other professionals involved in my workflow. I recall the day that I was behind on 6 albums--weekends were busy capturing weddings and completing daily administrative tasks. I reached out to Align and it was the BEST decision I ever made! Now I send all my albums to Align and I LOVE the options and turnaround time that they provide. Not only was it SO easy, the platform opened up an opportunity for me to show my clients the product prior to printing. I'm so glad I found Align!!! 
 
Yay!! US TOO!!  
 
Sara's work is stunning and the wedding in our featured design today is so precious. You guys -- the bride made her entire wedding dress herself!!! WHAT!? SO incredible! The couple got married in the backyard of a cabin that was built by the groom's grandfather -- a nostalgic place where he grew up. And even though it rained most of the day, the couple's joy was contagious and the day turned out incredible!
