Why do I need an album?
Because prints are forever
One day Instagram will likely be gone, your phone will be replaced and the USB housing your images will be obsolete.
Prints that you can physically hold in your hand are tried and true. They are simply the best way to keep your memories alive and cherish your biggest moments.
digitals are
fragile
As an avid DIY’er, I have learned to make peace with the fact that just because I can make something...doesn’t mean I should….or will…or have time to….And the same rings true with your wedding album. I often give my brides about 1000 images from a typical wedding day, maybe more! The day is full of moments! Moments, moments everywhere. Every image probably holds some small type of sentimental value to you, and narrowing it down to the 150 images you want in your album can be….totally overwhelming & time consuming. Not to mention the design element….What pictures go together? How many go on a page? How many pages should I make it? Should I use this one or this one? How do I tell a story? And the list goes on….again…..overwhelming!
Its too
personal
Everyone loves digitals! I love digitals! But........they are extremely fragile. We are lured into a false sense of security with a digital file, thinking they are safe and we have the master copy and can print them again and again if we need to...but the truth is....digitals are extremely fragile and become corrupt in the blink of an eye. Phones are lost, hard drives get dropped, and viruses can infect your computer...all unexpectedly...and often times your files are damaged and completely unrecoverable.
Printed images ensure no form of digital non-sense will destroy your most cherished memories.
It's a magical Heirloom
Create an Heirloom for Your Grandchildren to Find
If you’re anything like me, you love a good love story, especially a true one! As a kid, I loved (and still do) looking through old family albums (especially weddings!) and reliving the past, looking at the clothing, the hairstyle, learning about what my family was like before I was born and where I came from, and wondering what it would have been like to be there! It’s part of our ancestory! And having a good wedding album is just that! Not only will you cherish your album for a lifetime, but the albums I provide for my brides will last for future generations to find and treasure 🙂 They are printed on actual photographic paper, meaning they are archival and meant to last a hundred years! And they are professional grade , unlike anything you will find from Shutterfly or online photo sites, these albums are meant to withstand time. So let’s get your love story on paper…because prints, are forever!
A few thoughts
All that being said, “Can’t I design my own wedding album?” is not as easy as it seems. And while, yes, you can…all the factors I mentioned above....plus other life factors....can really slow the whole process down and there’s a good chance that your “wedding album” may be left unfinished somewhere in cyberspace…never for a printed version to see the light of day.

The first step is to choose your favorite images.
I will choose mine too, but this will give me a starting place to make sure I get in your favorites :)
2. Pre-Design & meet up
Next, I will create a design for you. After the design is ready, we will meet up for coffee to see your design and make your album choices.
