OMG!! That is truely the best wedding album I have ever seen! I am serious! I love the variety, the uniqueness, and the way you captured every important parts of the day! I would pay a TON for a book like this. Best of luck with this!

One question, what how the does album feel? I mean, are the pages heavy and thick like cardboard, or are they thin like photographs? What are the covers like? Are the pages laminated or in a plastic sleeve?

I must say I really like the candid type shots.

The pictures in picture themes offer a fantastic presentation of the activites! Very unique album. But I got to ask, "What the heck kind of limo is that?!"

I love the last page, you blurred everyone and put them in sepia? It looks really cool :)

I think the only pages I am not really keen on are teh two black pages at the begining. They seem to blank to me which i know is the intention. I kind of think it would look better in white perhaps, because white is more a wedding colour. I do like the later blank page though with the dress and cake. I like how that one is set out.

The limo shot looks fantastic.

And of course you are getting better :) What was the reaction from the couples to the last books? Did you get much feedback from any of them.

Email you by the way. Nothing important lol Just loz stuff :p

We have two different printers lined up for albums like this:
MyPublisher prints on paper pages - they are thinner, like a magazine or a textbook type page. They have leather covers or other types if you prefer. We also use Cornerstone Albums for their traditional Photo Album style - it's a flushmount album like these on cardboard/hard pages. They are way more solid and WAY more expensive. :D There are other options - Graphistudio, Leather Craftsman, etc...but we are going to stick with what we use for now.

:)
Yeah H2 Hummer Limo - everyone's commented on that so far. I'm glad we did that page! haha

The last page is sepia and darkened and blurred guests and they are left rather as they were I think.

Wow! That is awesome how it is put together! This upcoming year I hope to start doing a few myself. Seeing that really motivates me. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity.

Thanks all! This is the 4th one we've done in the last few months and (I think!) the best of them. We have learned not to make quite so busy and scattered looking pages (unless it's intentional!) and we have learned how to keep it flowing and keep it interesting. I haven't yet shown the b/g but I hope they like it. :)

Til the next one!

Thx

That's very cool! What kind of tools do you use to make those, are they just composites made with Photoshop?

And while at it, does anyone else have any suggests for software to put together something like this, doesn't have to be quite so professional, a pointy clicky is fine. :)
