2009 Holiday Deadlines – West Coast

I know what your thinking, the holidays are months away! But a little bit of pre-planning will go a long way if you did indeed want your wedding album to show to your friends and family by Christmas.  Below are the following deadlines to ensure you have your album by the 24th of December:

Final Revisions for albums: October 18 2009
Bridal albums (Coffee Table, Traditional Mat and Fine Art): November 1 2009
Parent Albums (All 8×8 8×10 size parent albums) : November 16 2009
Canvas: December 7 2009 for ground shipping
Prints: December 7 2009 for ground shipping
Dvd slideshows: November 16 2009

You do have the option to rush certain items if they are ordered after the above deadlines. Depending on the item and the company rush fees vary. Please contact me if you have any questions.

*****FOR ALBUMS***** Please remember to get your revisions to me in a timely manner. During the busy season it may take me up to two weeks to return revisions to you. Album revisions are completed in the order received, so even if you have only a few small changes it might take me two weeks to return them given my current workload at the time. For your album to be ordered by November 1 2009 I need your signed order form + 1st payment. Without these two items I can not guarantee your album to arrive on time. Thank you for understanding.

INTIMATE CLIENTS! The last day to schedule a full session with a book is November 1st. The whole process takes 6-8 weeks to do post, edit and order a an album. Anything scheduled before November 1st will have a guaranteed holiday delivery if your album is finalized by November 16th!

New Album!

As I mentioned before, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning when sample albums come in… this one was like Christmas morning x2!!! I adored Cara and Brendan’s wedding last July and was waiting for the prefect album combo to come into play for a sample album for myself. I wanted something contemporary yet traditional with light colors… kind of like their wedding.  Unlike the album seen in this post, you can do as many panoramas as you want AND the album is book bound, not hinged. Needless to say I basically camped on my doorstep all day Friday waiting for the UPS guy to deliver it! :) Here’s the details:

12×12 platinum fabric cover with inset photo and spine imprinting. Below right photo shows the lay flat binding.

And happy early anniversaty to Cara and Brendan!

Calyn and Martins Wedding Album

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love designing wedding albums. Its the final piece of a clients wedding and the final vision of my work. I take a VERY clean and simple design approach. I love full page spreads and clean white borders. I thought I would share a recent design with you. Calyn and Martins album is a Coffee table style as seen in this post.

View their complete wedding album here.


Some days are like Christmas…

I’m taking a risk here by sounding like a huge nerd… but I love it when the UPS guy drops a package on my doorstep! What is it about receiving a package or a big letter in the mail that makes a person all excited?!!

My favorite delivery days by far are album days. (I know, you would think it would be cameras right?) Its like Christmas or my birthday. The wedding day… hours of post production…. more hours of album designs and revisions and the final culmination of all that hard work is an album. Its final printed piece and essentially what will become my clients family heirloom for years to come. And I don’t mean that as in “yay… its finished! Its all done!” I love albums because I cant begin to tell you how different “proofs” look online that the final printed version. Colors jump off the page and what I saw in the camera months before is now in its final form.

And 5 albums came in this week!! Woo hoo! And they were all different types too! So of course I took some photos of them. There is also the NEW and improved version of the 5×5 100 favs book that’s included in wedding packages. (This is the new version for the West coast Adeline & Grace Photography) I’m in love! Satin texture cover with a metallic printed cover. Photos are side by side now and tell a story rather than one per page.

And I have a new version of the photo engagement sign in book. A step up from the old version: Satin texture cover with metallic printed cover and thicker pages that actually lie flat. Much easier for your guests to leave their well wishes! While the album is smaller (8.5 x11) the product is top notch. These products were all found on my quick trip to Vegas a few weeks ago. While I was eying them online I wanted to make sure I was in love with them in person… and I was!

So enough with my nerdy technical rambling. I know ya’ll want to see some photos!

10×10 Coffee table album with photo cover and black leather binding:

12×12 Traditional Album with cream mats and white liners. The binding is hinged instead of book bound like the album above:

The new 100 favs book. 5×5 with 100 images side by side with a nifty metallic cover. I know its hard to see here but the cover pops in person:

And the Engagement Guest Book. 8 1/2 x 11 with lay flat pages. Same book as above but a different size. So the spine is the same as the photo on the top right of the 100 favs book yet thinner.

Working with the best…

In celebration of the launch of True Event and Chocolate Creative Design I have teamed up with two of the most fantastic ladies in weddings and design to offer this special promotion for the month of March. The three of us had such an amazing time working together on Deirdre and Jason’s wedding (pictured above and on Style Me Pretty this month) we are hoping to collaborate many more times in 2010.

New Parent Albums!

Last month I ordered a new sample album for the Intimates side of the business. My jaw dropped when I opened the box… and I instantly found a solution for parent albums!

So of course I ordered a sample parent album of Shawna and David’s wedding. This album is an 8×8 duplicate of the coffee table style bridal album. The pages are printed on luster photo paper and bound to 1mm thick pages. I think the photos will show the album better:

You can choose either a white spine, or black spine

I heart canvas!

I just received a new order of canvas for the studio… I thought I would share so I took a few quick snapshots… I’m in love!

Notice the wrap around edges:

Fine Art Album with a Coffee Table Twist

My jaw dropped when I opened the box containing Dhivya and Jay’s wedding album. They loved the Fine Art Albums but were torn, because they also loved the contemporary twist of the Coffee Table Album we offer. Luckily for them, our album supplier just recently announced they are now offering a combination of the two.

I can go on… but I think the photos will say so much more:
