We have had the supreme pleasure of working with talented and cool-to-boot Baltimore-based photographer Anna Lowe for 4 years now. Her images always inspire and so many of the designs we've done for her have ended up being featured here on our blog. 
 
Well, add this chic album to the list! We LOVE how it turned out! This design ended up being 25 spreads. We tend to love designing albums that are over 20 spreads because it really gives room to do a wedding story justice. The images are able to be spread out rather than crammed in and they have room to breathe. Anna always provides us with black and white AND color image options which adds interest to the design. We LOVE color images, but black and white images often add a more intimate, timeless, and dramatic touch to album designs when they are used thoughtfully. 
 
Here are a few of our favorites spreads from this stunning design:

Today's featured wedding album features not one, but TWO incredible weddings! When the pandemic hit, Chloe & Jeremey decided to pivot and host a small intimate backyard wedding on their original wedding date, followed by a larger vow renewal a year out at their venue. It was the perfect choice for them, and this album is half dedicated to each of these important days in their lives. Atlanta-based wedding photographer Kiyah Crittendon did an amazing job capturing both events and she was so kind to photograph and send us photos of the printed Redtree album! We ADORE how it turned out!! Kiyah did such an incredible job capturing the emotion and vibe of each of these unique events.

Pennsylvania-based wedding photographer Sara Haines came to us midway through the year last year in need of some help with albums, and we were thrilled to become a part of her team! Sara recently shared this about her experience working with Align: 
 
I couldn't have been happier with the design process! I remember feeling completely overwhelmed prior to outsourcing album design and I KNEW that in order to provide my clients with the best customer service possible, I had to get other professionals involved in my workflow. I recall the day that I was behind on 6 albums--weekends were busy capturing weddings and completing daily administrative tasks. I reached out to Align and it was the BEST decision I ever made! Now I send all my albums to Align and I LOVE the options and turnaround time that they provide. Not only was it SO easy, the platform opened up an opportunity for me to show my clients the product prior to printing. I'm so glad I found Align!!! 
 
Yay!! US TOO!!  
 
Sara's work is stunning and the wedding in our featured design today is so precious. You guys -- the bride made her entire wedding dress herself!!! WHAT!? SO incredible! The couple got married in the backyard of a cabin that was built by the groom's grandfather -- a nostalgic place where he grew up. And even though it rained most of the day, the couple's joy was contagious and the day turned out incredible!

We have been working with South Carolina-based wedding photographer Dana Cubbage for 8 years and have designed 40 albums for her so far! We have featured many of them over the years, but today's design has to be one of our favorites!  
 
Dana did such a fabulous job of capturing the spirit of Charleston throughout this wedding! The images we had the pleasure of using for this design exuded such a sense of place! And the bride's mom made a lot of strategic planning decisions based around photography including the beautiful pink church and the vintage car they used for portraits. Wow! This album is such a page-turner! We adore how it turned out!

Nashville-based Rebecca Denton is a long-time client who has recently made the transition from focusing on weddings to specializing in food and brand photography! It's been so exciting to watch her make this huge shift in such a professional manner. We are big fans of hers and have enjoyed working with her on upwards of 50 designs now! Rebecca is also one of our beloved Client Advocates. You can see more of her designs that we've featured on the blog by clicking here! 
 
Rebecca is not only super-talented, she's also super-organized! For this design she sent over a good variety of images and separated them into each part of the day making the design process super simple. She also selected one image of each family grouping and asked us to add all of them. This is not something we require, but it does make our job so much easier and takes a lot of the guess work out of the design process! 
 
Once the design was sent to the bride and groom, there were very few changes to be made - basically just swapping out or adding images that were more personal and sentimental to them. All in all this design took a little over a month from receiving the images to final approval. Done and done! 
 
And we think it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:
