Albums! Julie + David

Kara — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 11:01:58 +0000

Today I got to deliver Julie + David’s wedding album just in time for them to take it to Florida with them for Christmas.

They choose a simple leather cover in sage green, with blind embossing of their names and wedding date:

The album has a classic book-bound leather spine.

The pages are nice and thick to hold up to lots of viewing. Julie and David chose a squared off page for a more clean, modern look.

When you open it up, the pages are split down the middle fold so that the album lays perfectly flat. The split leaves a thin black line between the pages. (This album can also come with a creased page for those who would rather have that look.)

You can see how the pages are sewn into the leather cover. (Curious cats and album photography come together in odd ways sometimes!)

They also chose the blind embossing for their names and the date – very elegant.

It’s a gorgeous and elegant album and I was so happy to be able to deliver it to them today in time for Christmas!

The full layout/design can be seen as a slideshow, here: Julie + David’s Wedding Album Layout

Married | Stacie & Parker

Stacie and Parker got married at Atlanta’s First United Methodist Church and had their reception right next door at the amazing and historic Rhodes Hall. The weather on their wedding day was perfect and guests mingled inside and out, many of them hanging out on the gorgous wrap-around patio of the Hall. I couldn’t get enough of the details of their wedding – the flowers were gorgeous and it was obvious that Stacie and Parker put a whole lot of thought into the details of their day.

Twirling!

The wedding’s still being edited, but I had to post this series that I found as I was going through the reception images. If you’re a little girl at a wedding, there are few things more fun than having a dress to twirl in. And the big wrap around porch at Rhodes Hall is the perfect location for twirling!

Engaged | Jennifer + Frank

Jennifer and Frank picked the absolutely gorgeous Cator Woolford Gardens for their engagement session this past week. The session had a bit of a crazy start, but it wasn’t long before we were laughing and joking and just having a great time. We even found the hidden stone circle at the back of the gardens and the biggest blooming hot-pink fuschia I’ve ever seen in my life. Jennifer and Frank danced, climbed into the trees, and even rolled around on the lawn just because I said it would make great photos! What can you say about clients like that … except that I can’t wait to work with you guys again!

Engaged | Neveen + Hassan

This week it was back to Piedmont Park in mid-town Atlanta for a session with Neveen and Hassan. It’s amazing how the same location can be so different just a mere week later. We had a great time just wandering around the park – I think we spent as much time watching people as we did taking pictures! And Neveen and Hassan? Utterly too cute. I had the best time photographing them and I hope we get to work together again soon!

I couldn’t resist this series – totally unprompted and isn’t Neveen too cute!

Engaged | Jennifer + Brian

I met Jen and Brian for their engagement session on a drizzly, windy day at Piedmont Park in mid-town Atlanta. They were completely willing to brave the cold weather and the possibility of rain. We more than made up for it, finding gorgeous blooming dogwoods and lush green grass everywhere we looked. We had such a great time – the park was nearly deserted which gave us our choice of just about any location we wanted. Jen was even a complete trooper and climbed a tree IN HER DRESS! Doesn’t she rock?
