Today's GORGEOUS featured design is the very first we created for New Mexico based wedding photographer Taylor Pettigrew. Taylor's work is so fresh and vibrant and CONSISTENT in shooting style and editing. Her work laid out in album-format is so compelling and we can't wait to show it off to you! 
 
This design was approved with NO REVISIONS and is on the large side -- 25 spreads/50 pages. Whenever we get the chance to design albums with more spreads, the resulting design always feels more clean and complete because the images are given room to breathe on the spreads. The design is not too busy and there are plenty of pages to tell the story of a full wedding day. 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:

Thank you, Taylor for the opportunity to work with your beautiful images!

We've designed a whopping 129 designs for the fabulous Katelyn James in over a decade of working with her and her stunning images! How lucky are we!? But seriously, we feel so blessed to get to work with such a fabulous human who has SO generously shared about us with all of the students who go through her valuable photography education courses. If you're reading this, chances are your photography has been impacted in some way by Katelyn! 
 
I remember when I first talked with Katelyn about the possibility of outsourcing her album design to us, that she was very hesitant -- mainly because she loved doing her own album design and didn't want to release control of this piece of her business to someone else. But she DID take that step and as you can imagine, we have dialed in her design style meticulously and according to Katelyn, she is now able to serve her clients even better than she did before! 
 
This is what we want to be known for more than anything -- we want to become a part of photographers' teams so that they can level up their business and be known for incredible customer service! We've had two photographers in just the last week tell us that the customer service they have received from Align is the best customer service experience THEY HAVE EVER HAD with a company and this is what we want clients to say about every single photographer that we serve! We want that for YOU! And that is what we are here for -- to level up your customer experience and make you look like a rockstar! 
 
Check out this beautiful design we recently wrapped up for Katelyn! She is a sucker for a beautiful bridal detail filmstrip layout that tells a cohesive color story and I think we hit the mark here:

This couple is so sweet -- they were middle school sweethearts!!

Thank you Katelyn for trusting us all these years to be a part of your team!

Today's featured album design is a great example of a clean design that really does justice to the story of the wedding day. This design ended up being 31 spreads -- on the larger side -- and utilized plenty of white space throughout. New Jersey wedding photographer Richel Diaz likes our Classic Design style with "the fewer images per spread, the better" -- which we are more than happy to accommodate! We're big believers that the fewer images you use per spread, the more importance you give them. Each image is given space to really shine! 
 
Richel ended up ordering this design as a sample album to showcase to potential clients, which is brilliant! As we've talked about elsewhere on our blog, sample albums are the number one key to selling albums! Having one that you are proud to show-off can make all the difference in the sale. 
 
Richel really selected a beautiful wedding to showcase in her sample album. It hits every one of the five features every sample album should include! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

What a stand-out album design we have to share with you today! North Carolina wedding photographer Tierney Riggs Photography has such a beautiful, bright, fresh photography style and captured the stunning details of this historic estate wedding just perfectly! 
 
Tierney prefers an album design with as little white space as possible, and we are always happy to accommodate specific requests like this! This particular design is a great example one that does not feel too busy or cluttered while limiting the white space on the page. 
 
Tierney used our Hands-off Service so we were able to communicate directly with her client throughout the revision process and grab any needed images from the online gallery ourselves without having to bug her. And as a result, the design was approved after just one round of revisions in 2 weeks flat! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

Thank you, Tierney, for trusting us and our partners from Woo casino Canada to be a part of your team!

Fun Fact: New Hampshire fine art wedding photographer Michelle Eaton has been shooting weddings for 15 years now and WE have had the pleasure of working with Michelle for 7 of those years. Also, we just learned that Michelle only went full-time in photography 3 years ago! So cool! What an incredible career so far! 
 
Today we get to show-off a favorite design we put together for Michelle and her clients recently. The photography for this early winter wedding is gorgeous and what is even MORE impressive is that Michelle shot this wedding when she was 9 month pregnant! Huge props for that!  
 
Michelle works hard to get to know her clients ahead of time and set them at ease while she is photographing them, and it shows. Her clients look so relaxed and entirely themselves in all of her photos. 
 
This design was approved with only one round of revisions in under a month's time and it was such a pleasure to be a part of getting this stunning album into the hands of Michelle's clients so quickly!
