The album we are sharing with you today is Georgia-based wedding photographer Abby Byrd's FIRST album design with us! Woot woot! We are SO thrilled to be working with her and her beautiful images! 
 
Abby shared this with us shortly after we started working together: 
 
"I was on vacation last week and it was SO amazing to see you guys progressing on the album without me. What is life?! That made it so much easier for me. I can't believe it!" 
 
It took only 8 days from her client receiving the initial design to the client approving it. And Abby used our new and improved Hands-Off Service enabling us to communicate directly with her clients AND grab revision images that were needed from the full online gallery. The whole process was a breeze! 
 
AND LOOK AT THE RESULTING ALBUMS! SO stunning! Abby used Redtree to print these albums for her clients and she sent these beautiful images our way. We are obsessed! 
 
Here are some of our favorite spreads from this gorgeous design:

"An epic album for an epic photo shoot!"  
 
Today's feature album is a special one! It is an album that our client -- Payson-based wedding and portrait photographer Marquette LaRee -- had created for her own family!! Amazing! Her friend and fellow Payson-based photographer Mikaela Dufree took the epic photos of Marquette's sweet family that are now showcased in this stunning Align Legacy Book that is in her home.

We love what Marquette shared about her motivation behind getting this album created:  
 
"I wanted to be able to show my photography clients that albums aren't just for weddings; albums can add strength and power to any home! I realized that I wanted these in our home in a tangible way. Not just a few on the wall, but more of them where we could see them easily and where they could be accessible and part of our life so we could look through them over the years, bring up the memories, and draw strength on the love we feel when we see these images. An epic album for an epic photo shoot was a must. What better way to show my clients what a family album could mean than by leading by example?! I've been so excited to have this in our home and the kids LOVE getting to look through the beautiful pages. It's truly a treasure!"

Here's the background story Marquette shares about how this family shoot came to be: 
 
"After we had our second baby in 2016 we decided we were done as a family of four and had an epic family photo session taken on dry lake beds in New Mexico. A big canvas from that session has hung in our home since then. Then in 2020 our family actually became complete with baby number 3. And still the same canvas of Mowers Party of 4 hung in our home. We decided we needed to do another big epic family photo session to update the big canvas to include our Molly girl. Mikaela and I schemed on this for a few months. I picked our location and she was game to try it out. Shooting out in the open isn't Mikaela's normal style (as Payson is surrounded by gorgeous forest and mountains), but I knew she could nail this. Jokingly I said, "We'll just pray for some epic clouds." Well months later when it was finally time for the session we were just hoping we could make it to the location between storms and that it wouldn't be too soupy of a mess. We lucked out with GORGEOUS textured clouds, beautiful light, and the land had drained enough from the flooding rain it had received just two days before.  
 
Mikaela is a master at capturing things as they really are in such an artistic way. The photo of our two year old stomping off not even 5 minutes into the photos session is one of our all time favorites! Her slogan used to be "You know how it feels to love your family, let me show you what that love looks like!" and it always feels so fitting. I love looking at these and seeing our 1st grader's missing teeth, our 9 year old's goofiness, the independent toddler, and the joy I feel with these people of mine."

We just can't get over how stunning this design turned out! Every page is just so beautiful! 
 
Marquette took these beautiful photos of the printed Align Legacy Book and sent them our way and we couldn't be more grateful! For the cover, Marquette chose our Yukon leather. She had the album printed as a 12x12 with thick pages. The text on the front is debossed with rose gold in our Adelicia font. Just so stunning!

New Jersey based wedding photographer Melissa MacDonald shot the stunning wedding featured in today's album design. Her work is impeccable and it's always a joy to work with her and her images!  
 
This particular album that we designed for her was gifted to her clients. How amazing is that!? We can't get over how flawlessly this design came together. As you scroll through some of our favorite spreads below, note how cohesive the color story is throughout the entire design! That isn't always possible, but it's so beautiful how it came together in this case!

Wyoming-based wedding photographer Cassie Madden does some incredible work in the Rocky Mountain region! We have been working with her and her clients for 8 years now and she is also one of our beloved Client Advocates, so every time we see a new order from her, we do a little happy dance! Click here to watch a short video where Cassie shares how she made the leap to serving high end clients through albums! It's a fun story! 
 
Today's featured album design showcases a beautiful wedding in Estes Park, Colorado. We were able to facilitate the design of TWO album -- the couple's album AND a parent album -- through one order, saving Cassie some money. (Click here to find out more about how you can use unused revision rounds to design parent albums!) So that was a win!

We can and DO design albums for every type of event imaginable and today we are featuring a darling engagement album that we designed for New Jersey based wedding photographer Jennifer Larsen. This beach engagement shoot looks like it was a whole EXPERIENCE so it is fitting that it justifies it's own album. I can just see the couple flipping through this and reliving the amazing time they had at this beach house! 
 
For this design, we used our SIMPLE design style which features clean white backgrounds and 1-4 images per spread.  
 
We LOVE how this design turned out! Jennifer did such a great job capturing the personalities of this couple and those beach shots are so dreamy! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this fun design:
