Just got in megan and matt's beautiful album and I am in LOOOVVVEEE.  Seriously kicking myself for not ordering a copy for a studio sample. 

This is finao's new "krumble" material.  Loving it!  Finao are one of my favorites of the album binders I work with - and they're a Michigan-based business, which is rad. 

opening page:

another BEAUT of an album to share, from Ashley and David's lovely meadowbrook wedding last May.

apologies in advance for the slight color cast to these images - probably wasn't the best idea to photograph this album in a room with one orange wall ;-)

beautiful photofront cover (that's Tommy's image - woo-hoo!)


and I just LOVE the vintage-y brown leather we chose - it really works well with the cover photo

the opening page:

Just got in this BEAUTIFUL album that I can't stop looking at!  Lindsay and Bryden's wedding was just lovely - and I'm so pleased to see the story of their day told within this gorgeous book.

the photofront cover is stunning


some closer details:

Just thought I'd share these super-cute save-the-dates I made for Neil and Erin:

So I was walking around Plum Market the other day, when I stumbled across these adorable flowers!  I am in love.  Apparently, they're called green trick carnations.  They look like little balls of grass!  Wouldn't these be darling in a bridal bouquet?!  I got a bunch of 'em, and they look fantastic all grouped together in a vase...

thanks Tommy for holding this for me!

just got in sean and katie's awesome guestbook!  It looks so good, I had to show it off ;-)

I've experimented with a few different book styles for guestbooks over the years, and this one is hands-down the best - both in quality and value.

Standard guestbooks are 15 spreads, and feature a gorgeous, wraparound photo cover

Just got in Paul and Kendra's Luxe Album, and it is too delicious not to share!  Wish I could keep it for the studio ;-)

They chose a fun, corrugated aluminum cover
Here's a closer look at the texture and binding

the album opens with a translucent velum title - so pretty!

And here's a few layouts

a closer look at the matting:

Been getting in a ton of albums lately!  thought I'd share a few.

Here's some pics of Ryan + Andrea's book.  They opted for the modern album, with an ivory cover featuring a cameo photo.
here's a peek at some of my favorite spreads...
the 'getting ready' part of the day always yields fantastic storytelling images







Also recently got in Renee and Keith's book.  They opted for the 'Luxe', which is a really cool, customizable album.
They chose the photofront cover, paired with a black leather

What makes this album so special is the ability to combine classic, fine-art matted pages with modern, coffee-table style pages. 



It's a completely custom album, so you can get pretty creative with the layouts!

I love these itty-bitty matted pics!

Seems like I'm getting in a book every other day!  I'll be sure to share some more as they come ;-)

At long last, my new camera has arrived!  I pre-ordered this baby months ago, as soon as it was announced, and am only just now getting my hand on it.  I'm so excited to start playing with it - word on the the street is the files are even better than it's predecessor the 5D, which i've been shooting with for the past few years.  Higher ISO, better resolution, and HD video, which i'm really excited to start incorporating into my slideshows ;-) 

Just in time for Meghann and Mark's wedding in Mexico at the end of the month - wahoo!   

woo-hoo!  It's time for my annual holiday sale!
