Ninety-five percent of the album designs we do are our Classic Design Style -- all white background, no image border, no overlapping images. Ranging from 1-14 images per spread. Today's featured album design for Indiana based wedding photographer Erika Aileen is a cross between our Classic and Simple Design styles. Our Simple style is similar to Classic in all ways except it is only 1-4 images per spread. You will see that MOST of the spreads in this design fall into the Simple category. To tell a wedding story using the Simple design style well, we really need to use a minimum of 20 spreads. Today's featured album is a STUNNING example of the Simple Design style done well. It really shows off Erika's VERY BEST IMAGES from this wedding day and feels like a delicious piece of fine art. 
 
Before we share this design with you, here is a note from the photographer about this special day: "Diana and Elijah wanted their winter wedding to feel cozy and warm. The words that continued to surface as we talked about their day were British winter whimsy. This was so fitting since after their wedding they started their marriage together in snowy Alaska. Diana wore her grandmother's pearls and handmade silk shoes. The traditional and the modern married so well. An intimate family-only bridal party in emerald velvet for the ladies and tweed for the men were pulled together by gorgeous florals (and a floral pocket square for the groom)! I was aiming to achieve the same stylistic look in their album since I desire for the vision, values, and style of my couples to be consistent throughout their experience. And I think this design did just that!" 
 
We couldn't agree more!  
 
Erika was so kind to take a few photos of the printed KISS album. Here they are along with a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:

This is too fun! Michigan-based photographer Kayla Bouren recently ordered a guest book album design from us using some fabulous engagement photos she took! We love this idea! We designed the spreads to include plenty of white space around them so that guests could sign notes to the couple as they arrived at their wedding! How fun would it be to see all of these beautiful photos of your friends as you were showing up to their wedding!?  
 
We not only designed this album, but printed it as well! You can find out more about our Align Legacy Books by clicking here! 
 
Kayla did an amazing job taking a variety of photos in each location during this engagement shoot and really allowing her clients' personalities to shine! Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this fun guest book album design:

This week's featured album is just TOO PRETTY FOR WORDS!! We design albums that are printed by hundreds of other album printing companies, but today's album is extra-special because we both DESIGNED and PRINTED the finished album!  
 
Corinna Rose is an extraordinarily talented photographer based out of California -- her work always has us swooning. You just have to look through this entire album design to see how beautiful it is! We are so grateful to her for styling and taking these images of the finished 10x10 Align Legacy Book album in our Parchment Linen with gold foil debossing in Adelicia font. SO pretty!!

And here are a few of our favorite spreads from this album design:

This wedding set at the infamous White Sparrow Barn in Texas is just too pretty for words! Courtney Bosworth is a Dallas-based photographer who we have had the pleasure of working with for several years now and she blew us away with the beautiful images she sent us for this album! It was a dream to design and we love how the final album turned out! Courtney was kind enough to photograph the printed KISS album with it's light blue linen cover and send us a few photos. It always makes our day to see images of finished albums that we had a hand in helping to create!

Sharon Elizabeth is one of our favorites. Truth be told, we have a lot of favorite photographers here at Align. But she's one of them. Sharon has been partnering with us for album design since our early days -- back in 2013 -- and we have done 50 album designs for her over the years. She's always lovely, always kind, and sends us such dreamy, joy-filled images. She's also one of our Client Advocates. Click here to watch a video where Sharon shares why she used to think none of her clients wanted an album. She's a hoot! 
 
Today's featured design tells the story of a joy-filled wedding day set in the early days of the pandemic. This couple, against all odds, solidified their commitment to one another and now they have stunning albums printed by Leather Craftsmen to tell the story of how their love conquered all in the infamous year of 2020. We love how this album design turned out and are so excited to share it with you today!
