jackson hole wedding photographer | the engagement guestbook.

Many couples wonder what they should do with their engagement photos other than put them on save-the-dates or wedding invitations. I have a great solution for them! The engagement guestbook is a specific album I design for you to use on your wedding day. It utilizes all of your favorite photos and is designed in a way so that the guests at your wedding can sign around them. It's also a great way to show off your engagement photos to friends and family who didn't get to see them, and makes a wonderful keepsake for after your wedding day. If you aren't looking to create an entire fancy album with your engagement photos, the guestbook is a great way to go!

Pictured below is a sample guestbook I have created. It is an 8x10 album with 10 pages/20 sides, lies flat when opened, and has a cameo image on the cover. The pictured color is "mystique weave," although you would have the freedom to choose any color that would look great with your wedding decor.

jackson hole wedding photographer | designer wedding albums

I have several albums on order from weddings this summer and they are finally starting to come in! I absolutely LOVE seeing a finished product with all of my photos I worked so hard on, and it gives me so much pride and excitement to give them to my clients. Designer flushmount albums are my highest end albums, with all of my custom-designed spreads printed directly onto high quality photo paper, then mounted onto sturdy pages that lay flat when opened. These two came in yesterday -- The white and blue one is one that I made for my sister as a wedding present (her amazing photographer was Andrew Jade) and the cream and champagne one is for Niki & Derek, who got married at Kiana Lodge in July. They are both designer albums, made by one of my favorite album companies, Forbeyon. I also had a custom DVD case made for Niki & Derek to keep their high-resolution DVDs of wedding images in that just so happens to match their album! I just love the high quality of both of these albums...dreamy!

It seems that all people want out of their photo sessions these days is photos on a disc. I get it. With Facebook, Blogging, iPhones, iPads, and all other forms of digital media that are starting to pop up lately, why wouldn't you want copies of your digital files?? I'm here to offer that, plus another option. The old-fashioned album. While I know you might go out and make prints off of that CD and hang them in your home or frame them on your desk, an album offers a timeless way to store your images and a high quality way to share your story. Here I have some photos of a recent studio sample I ordered from my new album company, Forbeyon. This style, their linear bound album, is the perfect way to display photos from your engagement session or have copies made of your wedding album to give your parents and grandparents as gifts. Coming in sizes up to 8x10, this smaller album is made up of glossy press prints mounted to rigid pages in a panoramic style. It's a little more friendly to your wallet than the sought-after flushmount albums, but nevertheless, an amazing way to show off your images. I offer all of Forbeyon's styles with my wedding packages, from magazine-style to flushmounted, 5x5 to 12x12, all coming with super classy leather or cloth covers and imprinting. If you want to see some more of their stuff take a look on their website. Check it out, and see why something like this is wonderful to have around your home to show your friends and family.
