Oregon and Seattle-based photographer Rick Andrew Baleros of Iron & Rye has a real knack for connecting with both his clients AND nature when it comes to his photography. We are so drawn into his style that feels so authentic and full of personality. We've been working with Rick and his clients on their album designs and printing for 4 years now and today we are so excited to be able to share yet another one of his stunning designs!  
 
The fun thing about this wedding album design is that we ALSO got to design this couple's engagement album! You can see it here! Rick gifted his clients their engagement album -- isn't that an incredible idea?! What a great way to nurture a love for albums in your clients!  
 
There is so much to love about this album design, but rather than continuing to gush over it, we thought we'd show you a few of our favorite spreads so you can see what we mean:

Husband and wife team Josh & Leidy Fournier of The Fourniers Fine Art Photography are SO talented! We have loved working along side them to create stunning album designs for their clients using their film images for 3 years now. 
 
Today's featured album design is a stand-out! From the grand cathedral, to the horse-drawn carriage, to the wooden trellis covered dining table for their guests, it looks like a fairy tale come to life. A shout-out goes to the amazing planners at All Buttoned Up Events who brought all the details of this event to fruition so beautifully! 
 
We feel so honored to get to be a part of the story-telling of so many beautiful love stories and know that this album will serve as such a powerful reminder for Diana & Riley of the love they have for one another for generations to come!

Ann & Kam are a husband & wife duo based out of Chicago. We have had the pleasure of designing albums for them since 2013! To date we've designed over 70 albums for their clients. Their background in music and architecture truly influences their photography style. They are amazing at capturing grand venues and art in a truly creative and timeless way!  
 
We always take our clients' design preferences into account when designing for them. And Ann & Kam prefer less white space in their designs. We often use their most epic photos as large focal points throughout the design as well. We love the way this glamorous downtown wedding translated onto the pages of an album!

Katie & Kevin started off, like all 2020 couples did, with a larger wedding in mind. They booked a live band - the whole shabang! They wanted to be mindful of it being cozy, intimate & elegant with their original 125 guest list. Things changed when, in July, they made the decision to cancel their wedding at their gorgeous California venue and opt for the Collins Cottage at Lido House Hotel. They had already booked the cottage for family to stay in for the wedding weekend and after doing a non-negotiable head count they realized that, with Tara and Stephen of Pattengale Photography as their photographers, their guest count came to 13. If California mandated 10 or less it would be impossible for them to celebrate without regrets. So they put their heads together and that's when they realized that because the cottage is a private rental and more like a "home" they could gather all 11 loved ones + their photographers & planner, because it would not be considered an "event."  
 
Thus the most beautiful intimate wedding was born. 
 
The florist transformed the small balcony into a rooftop garden, placing greenery on ledges and all the corners to provide additional privacy as well as beauty. The groom built a table to go on top of the non-movable marble coffee table that had been placed in the gazebo. That way guests could sit comfortably for a full course dinner served on china that was Katie's grandmother's. Every touch was so personal and made their wedding perfect for them, despite the challenges that the pandemic sent their way. 
 
Tara & Stephen captured this wedding day SO beautifully -- it is some of their best work to date!

This album design is a stunner! From the opening full page portrait spread to the sparkler exit at the end, every spread is a page-turner! 
 
J. Nicole is a talented Delaware-based photographer who we have had the pleasure of working with for 4 years now. Jessica shared with us that this couple planned their wedding from out of state during COVID lockdowns and had to reschedule and rely on the groom's mom to do most of the planning. As a result, Jessica met the couple for the first time on their wedding day. But you would never know it from these photos! The couple is so laid back and Jessica clearly was able to put them at ease and capture their wedding day beautifully! 
 
This album design came together so easily. The couple only requested two quick photo swaps and then approved it! After the couple approved their design, they used the remaining revision rounds to further revise the design for parent albums.
