Album Design

Every year I put together TONS of albums. All of our traditional packages come with the traditional matted albums that the bride a groom have complete design over. After they have picked out their photos and the arrangement they would like to have them in, I get to get down and dirty with the printing and assembly. I really want to say KUDOS to Erica (formally Kociuba). I have been doing this for years and I always give suggestions to brides on what looks good and what doesn't. The design of Erica's album was one of the best I have ever seen. You did such a great job. Erica made their wedding album completely about them. After all isn't this what the day is about? Not aunt Sheila who is sitting at table 10. This is the only time I have actually been brought to tears as I assembled an album. She did a wonderful job at displaying the emotion, passion, love, laughter, and fun of the day. All the while she did put a couple family and bridal party shots, the emphasis was on her and her husband. I really felt the love in your album and truly know you two will last till the end. Excellent job and I can only hope to see more and more people make their day more about them. You see...we can take the romantic shots, we can make you look beautiful....in the end it's up to you what you want displayed on your coffee table. It is always nice to have aunt Sheila and all of table 16 in you album after all they did show up right? No...this day is about you and him. It is about your commitment, your love and your happiness. Let that show through. Any family member should understand why your album is about you. NEVER feel obligated to put in a picture b/c someone was there or try to cram in as many family shots as possible. If you have this need make a small scrap book and set it next to your masterpiece. That would be just as nice!
