Intimate Michigan Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith Photography
The sweet couple in today's featured wedding album design got married in front of their closest family and friends at one of their favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The oh-so-talented Jean Smith photographed their day so beautifully.
When it came time to design their wedding album, the couple asked Jean to pick HER favorite images from the day for the album. And this is the result! The design was finalized within 5 days and printed by Miller's Lab as a 10x10 heirloom album that they will cherish forever!
This album is one of over 180 designs we have had the pleasure of creating for Jean and her clients over the past decade plus. We are SO BLESSED to work with such a talented, kind human.
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this sweet design:

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:

Dreamy Detroit Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith Photography
We've been working with talented Michigan based wedding and portrait photographer Jean Smith since 2013 -- twelve years and counting!! We are approaching 200 album designs for Jean and each one seems to get BETTER and BETTER. Jean's eye for composition, lighting, and documenting the moment is superb in every way. We cannot get enough of her stunning work!
Jean is also one of our beloved Client Advocates. You can click here to see a short video of her sharing some of her album journey and experience as well as some great tips!
Today's featured album is a great example of what our partnership with Jean over the years has been able to produce! We are SO smitten with this design! And apparently the client was too, because they approved the initial design as-is with ZERO revisions! We were able to deliver the design files for this album to Jean in less than a week as a result! We love it when that happens!

Grand Detroit Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith Photography
I believe Michigan wedding photographer Jean Smith holds the record for the client we have designed the most albums for. As of this blog post, we have designed 174 albums for her in the past 11 years! And every single one is unbelievably stunning! Jean is just SO freaking talented. Her composition, understanding and use of light and photojournalistic style make for such a compelling story-telling design style.
The design we are sharing with you today features a wedding in a grand cathedral, a classic mustang convertible and a reception in a grand ballroom. It is over the top fabulous in every way and we are so excited to show it off to you!
Here are a few of our favorite spreads -- it was hard to pick!

Whimsical Summer Wedding Album Design for Jean Smith
YOU GUYS. This wedding dress + this photographer + this location. It's too perfect. Prepare yourself for something special.
Michigan based wedding photographer Jean Smith is a long-time favorite of ours. After all we have been working with her for over 11 years and have designed 167 albums and counting for her. We're obsessed with her photography and authentic documentary style. She is one of our beloved Client Advocates and shares here about two mistakes she regrets making when she started her business.
This particular design came together so well in part because of the curated set of images that Jean sent our way. She asked for a design with exactly 20 spreads and that's what we delivered. And her client approved the design in less than 2 weeks! We love when we can help photographers streamline their album process like that!
It's nearly impossible to narrow down the spreads from this design to just a few favorites, but check these out (and they will make you want to click through the full slideshow below!):
