North Carolina Fairytale Wedding Album Design for Eli Turner Studios
We have had the pleasure of working with Washington DC based wedding photographer Eli Turner for over 7 years on nearly 100 album designs! Eli is such a talent and truly a joy to work with. We feel so spoiled to get to work with his incredible images!
The album design we get to share with you today begins with 3 spreads of the couples' rehearsal dinner and then transitions to the wedding day at the stunning Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. The gorgeous mansion, gardens and the bride's flowing cape made this wedding look like a fairytale come to life! Eli found the most picturesque locations on the property to shoot the portraits and the reception was such a grand celebration!
It is an honor to be Eli's album design company of choice and we are so excited to share this design with you! Here are a few of our favorite spreads:

Lakeside Detroit Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith Photography
Our company just celebrated a birthday last week. We've been designing albums for professional photographers since 2012. And Detroit wedding photographer Jean Smith has been with us since our inception. We have been so blessed to design close to 200 albums for her over the years and we couldn't be more smitten with her and her work! We've shared it so many times on our blog here and obviously can't get enough!
Jean does a great job curating her images and habitually sends us a "Favorites" folder with her best images -- many of them with both color and black and white options. She asks us to use all of the portraits in the Favorites folder in either color or black & white (whichever works best for the design). She also sends us a separate folder of images to pull from to fill in the gaps and make the story flow. This is a best practice that we recommend to all of our photographers. It ensures that your best images will be used as focal points to anchor the design. As a result, the initial design typically hits the mark and doesn't require the photographer to submit any change requests before sending it on to their clients.
This stunning design was approved and finalized in less than 2 weeks! We love helping photographers serve their clients well and get these projects over the finish line as efficiently as possible!
Jean is a masterful photographer who captures real moments with an editorial eye. Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this exceptional design:

Summer Minneapolis Wedding Album Design for Brooke Elisabeth
We have been so blessed to work with Minnesota photographer Brooke Elisabeth for four years on over 20 album designs. She is incredibly talented and just recently announced that she is transitioning to focus exclusively on portrait work and retiring from weddings. It's the end of an era!
What better way to celebrate than to show off a stunning wedding album that we had the pleasure of designing for her clients? Brooke is one of our beloved Client Advocates and we could not be more happy for her. But we must say we will miss seeing her gorgeous wedding work on our screens!
This design is a great example of Brooke's preferred style -- with simple, uncluttered spreads that really allow her work to shine! And it's worth mentioning (and celebrating!) that this design was finalized in less than two weeks from order placement to the delivery of the files! We love it when that happens and we can help keep things moving for our clients!

North Idaho Senior Portrait Album Design for Looyenga Photography
About 95% of the albums we design here at Align are wedding albums. But occasionally we get to design engagement shoot albums, family portrait albums, boudoir albums, bar or bat mitzvah albums and today we want to share with you a favorite senior portrait album that we recently designed for Idaho based photographer Looyenga Photography!
We have had the pleasure of working on over 150 album designs with Brent over the last 8 years. He is a fabulous human to work with and also takes stunning photos that really show off the location every time. Brent shared this with us about Shelby's shoot and the subsequent album process:
Shelby contacted me because she was coming into my area and wanted her senior photos in a place that was wildly different from where she lived. After talking through locations, we ended up settling on a small state park that has an incredible dock, mountains, forest and fall colors. We ended up with a beautiful day, and while it was freezing (mid 20's, if I remember correctly) Shelby was a champ. It went smoothly, was a lot of fun, and ended up turning out really well. I had a blast with her, and I was very excited to see how the album came together. Align took some of my favorites, but also used a lot of the photos that I hadn't set aside (because I asked them to) to fill in the holes I wouldn't know were there. The album features such a great flow, and Shelby told me that she absolutely loves it!
This was such a fun one to work on! Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this exceptional design. Notice what a great job Brent did taking a variety of images and poses in each location, allowing each spread to be cohesive yet super-interesting:

Hilton Head Island Wedding Album Design for Dana Cubbage Photography
We have been working with Charleston based destination wedding photographer Dana Cubbage for a decade now! It is seriously such an honor to be trusted by so many photographers for such a substantial length of time! It is so humbling, truly. In that time we have designed over 50 albums for Dana's clients and it has been so fun to see her photography develop and just become more and more mesmerizing as the years go by. She has mastered her craft!
Check out just how lovely the second spread of this album design is! What a beautiful color story it tells. Each detail was so thoughtfully styled and framed:
