I thought I would mix it up a little here on the blog by posting a couple of pages from an album I just finished designing. I am a little unusual among photographers in that I prefer my clients to choose the images that they prefer to feature in their wedding albums rather than choose my favorites. The upsides of this are clear in my point of view, although I was present on the wedding day and created the set of images there is no way that I can know better which images truly represent the day and speak loudest than the bride and groom. It was their once in a lifetime experience after all! Another benefit is for me alone (and my future couples!) that is the feedback that I receive in the form of album selections. It really helps me to know which images and which types of images out of the hundreds that are captured and presented are most valued by the actual brides and grooms. So I really do prefer my couples have the freedom to make album selections themselves if they would like to do that. Unfortunately there is a downside…it is NOT an easy process and often not at all quick! And I don’t always receive the selections in an timely way, often (like right now!) I receive a large number of selections at once, which can be a little daunting. As I plug away with the designs I thought I would share an occasional spread with my blog readers.  These page spreads are from the wedding of Pau and Rich in February, they are 12×24″ wide…I loved the wedding and am loving the album just as much! More to come soon! And if you one of those waiting for your design I promise it is coming soon!
