Jamie and Javier recently tied the knot at the picturesque Vine Hill House in Sonoma County, bringing together the cozy charm of a backyard wedding with the sweeping beauty of vineyard views. Jamie, a Sonoma local, and Javier, originally from Spain, chose a natural and intimate setting to reflect their personalities and love story. From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this wouldn't be your typical wedding day. 
 
The couple's non-traditional style came through in every detail-from the relaxed vibe to the intentional celebration of their surroundings. Their wedding day felt both effortless and deeply meaningful, anchored in the love they share and the people they chose to celebrate with. Guests enjoyed a lively dance floor and a perfect fall evening capped with s'mores roasted under the stars-what could be better? 
 
Well, we'd argue the only thing that rivals experiencing this wedding in person is reliving it through the pages of their album. Is there anything better than a wine country wedding on a cool fall day? The spreads of this wedding album make a strong case that there is not. 
 
We had so much fun working on this stunning 30-spread, 60-page album for Eileen of Buena Lane Photography. Eileen's work beautifully captured not only the golden vineyard setting and thoughtful details, but also the genuine connections and joyful moments shared throughout the day. Her clean and minimal aesthetic -- favoring fewer images per spread -- let every photo truly shine. 
 
Designing this album was a joy. It's never easy to fit the full story of a wedding into a limited number of spreads, so we were thrilled to have the space to let each image breathe. Eileen's storytelling through photography made our job seamless, and we're so proud of how this album came together. 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from Jamie and Javier's unforgettable day. We hope you love them as much as we do.

Jean Smith does it again!  
 
We're approaching 200 albums designed for talented Detroit wedding photographer Jean Smith in the past 12 years and have featured over 15 of our favorites on this blog.  
 
We. Cannot. Get. Enough.  
 
Jean can do no wrong. She photographs every single wedding day so flawlessly and her composition, use of light, and documentary story-telling skills always impress.  
 
The album designs we are able to create with Jean's work are definitely stand-outs. Take a look at the first spread below, for instance. We love the mix of black and white and color images, the tight and wide compositions, and how each image stands so beautifully on its own yet fits so cohesively together with the others as a unit on this filmstrip spread.

Here are a few of our other favorites from this gorgeous design:

"I'm so glad y'all love the design just as much as I do!! It was PERFECT! Thank you all for always making the process so effortless!" 
 
This is the note we received back from North Carolina wedding photographer Courtney of CSaul Photography when we asked if we could feature today's album design! We have been Courtney's album design company of choice since 2014 and have so enjoyed working with her and her beautiful images! And whenever we get feedback like this, we do a little happy dance because this is our goal -- to make what could be a drawn-out arduous process as effortless for our pro photographer clients as possible! 
 
This particular design was finalized in less than a week from the time the order was placed and we adore how it turned out! Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

The color story in today's featured wedding album design is so strikingly lovely! Just look at the first two spreads featured below and if you're like us, you will instantly be intrigued and drawn in! St. Louis wedding photographer Emily Broadbent styled and photographed all of the pretty details from this wedding oh-so-perfectly and we had a blast laying out her images to tell the story of the day! 
 
We adore working with Emily and have had the pleasure of being her album design company of choice for the past 2 years. She is a savvy business owner and opts to use our Hands-off Service to streamline the design & revision process -- allowing us to communicate directly with her clients. It's our honor to help her get her album design projects over the finish line as smoothly and efficiently as possible! 
 
We couldn't love how this particular design turned out more! Here are a few of our favorite spreads!

We are SO enamored with California film photographer Meghan Baskin's work! It is nostalgic, emotive and exquisite! We are so excited to share yet another album design we had the honor of creating for one of her clients. This wedding was a destination wedding in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. The bride wore three designer gowns throughout the course of the day and the tented reception among the Spanish moss-draped trees looked like something out of a fairy tale! 
 
Meghan opted to use our Hands-off service, allowing us to communicate with her clients throughout the revision process. This streamlined things for Meghan and allowed her to focus on shooting and running her business while at the same time, knowing her clients were well-served. 
 
We couldn't be more thrilled with how this lovely wedding album design turned out! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:
