The couple featured in today's wedding album design met at Notre Dame, got married at Notre Dame, and ordered navy and gold albums. Haha -- too perfect! The bride also wore her mother's wedding dress that was made by her grandmother. Three generations were involved in her wedding dress -- what a beautiful nod to legacy and love!  
 
Indiana-based wedding photographer Erika Aileen captured this wedding day perfectly and we are SO excited to show off the finished product to you! Erika prefers really simple designs with fewer images per page (with the exception of the reception!) and plenty of white space to set them off. We design for all preferences, but if we were to pick favorites, this would be our preferred design style every time. It just really allows your very best images to shine! 
 
Erika was so kind to send us some photos of the printed KISS albums -- they turned out beautifully! Here are some of our favorite spreads from this design:

You wouldn't know it from the photos in today's featured wedding album design, but it poured rain on and off all day! But Virginia-based wedding photographer and educator Katelyn James is the ultimate pro, and she was quick on her feet with a solution! When the rain looked like it was going to set in, she quickly suggested the couple do a first look, then she got them under a tree, then back out when there was a break in the rain. And she worked FAST. You have to see how this design turned out! 
 
Katelyn is a long-time client and friend of ours. We have had the pleasure of designing over 120 albums for her and her clients in the 9 years we have worked with her and she is one of our beloved Client Advocates. Katelyn has single-handedly sent us more photographers than anyone else through her photographer education and resources and kind recommendations and we are SO GRATEFUL FOR HER!! 
 
When prepping for this post, she shared, "We absolutely love working with Align! The design process is SO efficient and so professionally done we cannot say enough great things about using Align as our album company."  
 
And obviously the feeling is mutual! We adore Katelyn and her whole team! Her photos are so stunning and we love the clean design style she prefers along with her penchant for film-strip layouts! Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

So we are still picking our jaws up off the floor after receiving these stunning images of an album we designed for Iowa based wedding photographer Bethany McNeill! These have to be some of the prettiest images of a finished album that we've ever received and we couldn't be more grateful to Bethany for taking the time to shoot and share them with us!  
 
We've had the pleasure of working with Bethany for 2 years now and we love being a part of her team! She is super-talented AND ridiculously kind. Our favorite combo :).  
 
We designed this album for her clients Olivia & Joshua and Bethany had it printed through Miller's Professional Imaging. The subtly textured white linen with gold debossing is such a classy combo!

Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this beautiful design:

Check out this stunning album we designed for Minnesota based wedding and senior portrait photographer Brooke Elisabeth! It was printed through Nations Photo Lab and Brooke was kind enough to send us some photos of the printed album! Once you see the design inside, I think you'll agree that the white linen with black debossing was an EXCELLENT choice for this elegant affair. We love seeing the finished product of our work, so we are so grateful that Brooke sent these beautiful images our way! 
 
We are smitten with everything about this wedding and the resulting album -- the couples' movie-star good looks, the timeless elegance that oozes from Brooke's images, the rain -- it all worked together to make this album a stand-out!
