We are suckers for an elegant downtown affair. The lights! The glamour! The stately architecture! The wedding in today's featured album was shot by Lisa Mathewson at one of her favorite venues in Milwaukee -- The Pfister Hotel -- with the grand reception at Turner Hall and we are allll heart eyes over it.  
 
Lisa is no stranger to this blog. We have had the pleasure of designing her albums since 2014 and you can see a couple other favorites here:

It's no secret that we LOVE receiving photos of finished albums for which we've designed the pages. So you can imagine how gleeful we were when these beauties arrived in our inbox!  
 
This wedding was photographed by Pattengale Photography a husband & wife photography team based in St Louis, Missouri. Tara & Stephen describe themselves as "a little bit hygge, a little bit young and free, and a little bit bruno. And a lot a bit in love." They forgot to mention "crazy talented"! This chic wedding was held at an art hotel and a hip glass factory ... perfectly on brand for Pattengale Photography's cool style!

We have such a beautiful album design to share with you today! It features images by Beth Joy Photography, a wedding photography duo who split their time between Florida & Michigan. Bethany & John focus on capturing the intimate moments and real emotions of a wedding day, and they do it so well!  
 
The wedding contained in this album took place on a rainy day at a Michigan venue that was once an apple barn. Bethany & John highlighted the special details (like the cool agate slices that served as place cards and cake topper) and the sweet love shared by the bride & groom. We were THRILLED when they sent us the following photographs of the finished RedTree Albums book!

We're so excited to share today's featured album design with you! This was our very first time designing for Elizabeth Hill Photography, and she was such a delight to work with! Beth is a boutique wedding photographer based in Virginia. She has a passion for capturing authentic emotion for her clients, and that comes through in her photos! 
 
Beth shared a bit about this wedding and album design process with us: 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Michael and Lauren were such a special couple for me. When we arrived at the venue, a huge storm had come, so there was no power in the entire place. We knew more storms were coming, but none of it phased Lauren or Michael - they were just so excited to become husband and wife. Fifteen minutes before the wedding, it started pouring down rain. They had to move the wedding indoors, to the middle of the reception area. We had to set up tons of off camera flash because it was so dark and grey, but again, the bride & groom rolled with it. 
 
I kept peeking my head out the doors to see if the rain was stopping. We wound up with only two 20 minute windows of clear skies the whole evening, so I used them! We fit all the family and wedding party formals into the first, and bride & groom portraits into the second. This situation really showed how much my clients trusted me and I'm so thrilled with the results! 
 
After the wedding came the fun part - designing my album with Align. I had followed along on Instagram for a long time and I knew I wanted to trust a designer to really highlight all the fabulous parts of their day for Lauren & Michael, so they honestly forgot that it even rained.  
 
Working with Denise was an absolute DREAM. She has so much creativity, she is prompt and responsive and even though it was my first time and I made some mistakes with file sending, she walked me through it and made it such a fun process. I am grateful for people like Denise, who are creative and kind but add so much to the experience. Who make it fun and exciting to get your album! I couldn't wait for Lauren and Michael to see it! 
 
Thank you for having incredible customer service and really thinking through the process of serving your clients well. It shows so much and I'm a believer for life. I look forward to many more designs with Align!  --Elizabeth Hill

Awww, thanks, Beth! We're looking forward to more designs with you, as well!

We LOVE when photographers utilize Align's Album Start-Up Kit to jump-start their journey with albums! So we were incredibly excited when Colorado wedding photographer Michele With One L purchased the Start-Up Kit and took advantage of the sample album included in it to help her clients understand the value of albums. The sample album we created with Michele did its job so well that the clients featured in it ordered a copy for themselves -- no changes made!!  
 
Michele is a hybrid photographer, shooting a combination of film and digital photography to create timeless images for her clients. We feel so honored to get to work with her beautiful images, and to be her one-stop solution for albums, from designs to printed, heirloom albums!
