I know what you're all waiting for- a long blog post! These are photos of a flush mounted album I just got back from Pictage for the Blackwell's wedding back in the spring/summer of this year at
Crossing Vineyards. Before I shipped the album off, my dorkface, Charity, as I so lovingly call her, helped me photograph some sample photos so everyone can see what flushmounted albums look like and how they are designed. The photos are mounted flush with the pages. The pages are thick and sturdy.
Amy and Greg decided to see one another before the wedding for a "first look" which always works to the benefit of the bride and groom. They have some alone time before the day takes off in high gear. Every time I've witnessed a "first look" it has been a really special moment. This also allowed the couple to get right to the reception only a few short minutes after the ceremony concluded. Awesome concept.
I love the contrast of the warm photos with me and my heavy coat in the snow!
I'll tell you- through working with the photos on the computer and designing this album, nothing prepared me for how beautifully it turned out. Seeing the photos printed out large in the album was breath taking. This is a 20 page (40 sides) 10x13 black leather flushmounted album made by Willowbook.
What I typically do, is have the bride and groom pick out their favorite photos. Then I submit them to Pictage for design with certain specifications and directions. Then I look over it, change some things, then have my client review the book online before sending it off for printing.
Merry Christmas Amy and Greg!
If you follow my blog, you have heard me mention them before. Loktah is an awesome, environmentally friendly company, from whom I buy my wedding CD cases. They just came out with a new line of cases. I really love them and want to buy a bunch of them for this season. Leave a comment below telling me which one you like the best! You can check out all of their products by clicking HERE. Definately check them out if you are a photographer who offers CDs- it's a beautiful way to present your product showing that you care about your work, your customer, and the environment. 
And these are my 3 favorites out of the entire line.
Cranberry
And all black.
