I had a brand new client album come in last week and I just had to take a moment to share a few images. This one is a Queensberry Duo Album which I did for Kristan and Steve. I’ve been using Queensberry albums since I got into this business way back in 2003. Every year (for 8 years now) I head to the WPPI trade show in Vegas to make sure they are still the finest albums in the world…and they have never let me down. There are more and more album companies popping up all over the place these days but it always concerns me when I see wedding albums floating around out there that look like the pages might crease or the books might just fall apart any second. The craftsmanship of these babies is just unparalleled in this business as far as I’m concerned and the printing is exquisite.

My favorite type of album which Queensberry offers (with the exception of a brand new product which I’ll post about later) is the duo album which is basically a hybrid of the matted and the flush-mount album. It blends a clean classic look seamlessly with contemporary flair. I love it, it is just stunning. I’m so glad that Kristan & Steve thought so too. And there is just nothing more gorgeous to me than a clean, white mat. Have I mentioned that I love white & minimalism? A quick peek around my website will prove it. So here are a few pictures.

When I meet with brides and grooms, I usually show them a few sample albums from weddings I’ve photographed in the past. I want to give them a feel for the way I tell the story of a wedding day. But those samples are designed from my point-of-view, using the images I think are the strongest from the day. But sometimes it’s nice to share actual clients album designs. Most of my albums are designed from a favorites folder on Pictage selected by the bride and groom themselves. I’ll give input where necessary but to me the most important thing is that my clients LOVE their album and adore every image that goes into it. So today, here a the wedding album I just finished for a really great couple named Liz & Chris, shot back in August at Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, VA. Enjoy!

Here is another one I just finished. Shelby and Anna (from the previously blogged album) are pals which always makes things fun. Shelby and Brad are a wonderful and adorable couple who were married at the famous Willard Hotel in Washington DC on July 5th, 2008. My amazing associate Jenni Green shot this with me.

This one is a 12″x12″ flush-mount album so imagine a folded crease down the middle. First page starts on the right.
