The husband and wife team that makes up Pattengale Photography are a power duo! Tara and Stephen's photography vibe is enchanting, the way they write on their blog is engaging, and they are cute to boot! We feel so lucky to get to work with them and their clients!  
 
When Tara filled out the order form for Madelaine & Henry's album design, she made good use of the "additional notes" section -- leaving us 4 paragraphs of notes about the wedding and thoughts about various spreads and how the story of the day might best be told. Photographers are not required to do this by any means, but we love any insight we can get into the day and the flow of the events! It definitely helps when we sit down to lay out the design! 
 
Tara & Stephen have a clear vision for what they want when it comes to their album designs and their client experience and we love coming along side them to make it happen! 
 
Today's featured design is the result of SO much talent and a lot of team work! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:

Austyn Elizabeth just sent us the most BEAUTIFUL video of an Align Legacy Book that we both designed AND printed for her! You have to click above to watch it!! I got goosebumps watching her page through the whole album set to music. Can you imagine what a powerful tool this video is for sharing the value of an heirloom album with her future clients!? BRILLIANT!! 
 
Another brilliant move that Austyn made is that she ordered an additional copy of this stunning album to gift to the venue -- one of her favorites to work at! And you can see why!

Delaware-based Jessica Rodgers of J.Nicole Photography had no idea there was about to be an airplane fly-over at the wedding she was shooting until 5 minutes before it happened.  
 
Even then, she was told they would be coming from the opposite direction.  
 
When the planes started coming from behind her, she ran to switch spots and grabbed the epic photo you see featured on the spread below at the last second! 
 

Phew! Wedding photographers never cease to amaze us with their ability to make the most of EVERY situation they are put in -- no matter how challenging! 
 
This couple was married in a family friends' hay barn that had been storing hay for the past 50+ years. Weeks before the wedding, their family rallied together and cleaned the barn out from top to bottom of dirt, muck, hay and cobwebs. Their hard work paid off and it turned out beautifully! 
 
It was such an honor to design this album for Jessica and her clients! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:

We've had the pleasure of designing albums for Alabama-based photographer Rebecca Long since 2013 and we have designed over 60 albums for her so far! We adore working with her and her beautiful images!  
 
When we asked to feature this design, Rebecca gave us the most beautiful insight into this wedding: 

This bride is very classic and precious! She wore her mom's wedding dress, they had a morning ceremony with a brunch reception. She tossed her flowers during the exit (just a fun little unusual detail). Every part of the weekend was intentional. We were able to go take more photos after the exit since it was barely after noon! LOVED this wedding.

 
I believe a photographer's love for a couple and the wedding itself often shows in the photos. And that is definitely the case here!  
 
These are a few of our favorite spreads from this gorgeous design:

We've had the amazing pleasure of working with Erin Lindsey for over 4 years now and have designed nearly 40 albums for her! It gives us all the feels to be able to be a part of a photographer's team, serving both them and their clients for the long-term. Building relationships with photographers -- getting to know their design style, how they like to communicate, and how we can help alleviate some of the pressure they feel from their day to day workflow -- that's what FUELS us.  
 
Erin always does beautiful work, but when we saw the images from this Huntsville, Alabama Botanical Garden wedding, we knew we had to feature this design! It's SO stunning. I mean -- take a look at this opening spread. This is the exact spot where the couple got engaged, so it was meaningful that they got to take portraits in the same spot 9 months later on their wedding day:

Thank you to Erin for sending us photos of this beautiful album printed by WHCC! Here are a few more of our favorite spreads from this design:
