The wedding we are featuring in today's album design took place April 4th, 2020, right as the stay at home order was placed for Alabama. Three weeks prior this couple was planning for a church/country club wedding with hundreds of guests for a seated dinner. Within 3 weeks they paired down to 75, 50, 25, and finally around 10 of their closest friends and family. They had a "drive by reception" that was a surprise for the couple. They moved their entire floral & rentals budget to their 10 person backyard wedding and it was gorgeous! The day was full of emotion in all of the best ways.  
 
Rebecca Long captured this intimate wedding and her favorite part of the day was the surprise exit for the couple - they put sparklers at the neighbors' houses with notes on when the leave would take place and the whole neighborhood (who was on quarantine and of course AT HOME - HAH!) came out to light sparklers on their street to see them off for the night!  
 
Rebecca did an amazing job capturing this wedding day and telling this incredible story that will be passed down through the album for generations to come!

New Jersey-based photographer Tori Kelner was not expecting to photograph a dream elopement on the cliffs of Maine, but when her clients' wedding plans were impacted by COVID she found herself packing up and traveling to capture their memories in a stunning, romantic location. We've all been pushed to roll with the punches this past year and a half and this album design is the beautiful result of a lot of flexibility and perseverance. We love the story it tells! 
 
Tori is one of our beloved Client Advocates and we love working with her any chance we get! She was so kind to send us photos of the printed Miller's Lab album and we are so excited to share it with you today!

Nashville-based Rebecca Denton is no stranger to this blog. She has been featured half a dozen times now because her work is just THAT GOOD. We can't get enough! Rebecca has recently rebranded and is shifting her niche to food photography, so we are working on the last few wedding albums she is sending our way and will be so sad not to see her friendly emails popping into our inbox as often. But it has been fun to see her make the shift and do it so well! Definitely check out her food and branding photography work here!  
 
Rebecca is one of our beloved Client Advocates, and she has this to say about her experience with outsourcing: 
 
Before I outsourced my album design process to Align, it would take me weeks or even months to get an album proof to my wedding couples. Now my couples have their album proofs immediately after receiving their wedding photos! Align's pro designers create beautiful album spreads quickly and efficiently, which impresses my clients while freeing up my time to focus on other business tasks. Outsourcing my wedding and bar mitzvah albums to Align has been one of the best business decisions I've made - I just wish I'd done it sooner! 
 
We had so much fun designing this album that is featured today! The floral, the brides' dresses, and their darling Save the Date card set the tone for a beautiful event! Rebecca had this album printed by Miller's Lab and was kind enough to take a photo of it for us!

We have designed 125 albums for Michigan-based photographer Jean Smith since 2013. Suffice it to say -- she is one of our faves! Her creative photojournalistic style and portraits that really bring out the quirky, fun sides of her clients consistently have us inspired. Her work is just incredible!!  
 
Jean is also one of our beloved Client Advocates. Click here to see Jean sharing on video a little bit about her album process. You can also access all of the other designs we've featured of hers there!  
 
Jean was kind enough to take a photo of the cover of Bobby & Shannon's album that was printed by WHCC. We love how it turned out!

Justine and Wayne are an Alabama Gulf Coast-based husband and wife team that we have had the pleasure of working with for a year and a half. We love their clean, bright & airy style and the way they tell a story through their stunning photographs. They also do such a great job on their website and social media of communicating their heart for their clients. And it comes through in their photos as well! 
 
The lace gown, beautiful details, and location of the wedding we are featuring on today's album design have us swooning. We're so excited to share this one with you!
