Wedding Albums
A wedding album is the ultimate compliment to your wedding coverage. Once the weekend is over, nothing compares to preserving those priceless moments and memories in something that is meant to last.
I believe that a collection of quality photos is worth more than a feed full of trendy images- and I know that the best way to honor and preserve that collection is to print it.
The album company I work with believes in legacy and together we work to produce luxury, quality, heirloom pieces worthy of your most important days.
you deserve to have your beautiful day preserved
in a tangible way for generations to come
Because You and your photos are worthy of much more than a hard drive
There is nothing that compares to seeing your wedding photos in print. Having a beautifully designed and handmade album in your home is going to allow you to relive your day over and over and ensure those photos never succumb to the whims of technology. Sure, you can open your gallery and scroll through them on your computer- but how often will you do that? Speaking from personal experience, rarely. I do however regularly take our wedding album off the shelf and thumb through it, pausing with each page turn to really remember that day, and feeling the photos between my fingers versus on the glare of a screen.
At the end of the day,
it comes down to one thing:
Print is everlasting.
I'll go through your image gallery and design a first draft of your album- focusing on the moments and people that mean the most to you. Designs are moment-focused with the details coming in to help tell the story.
The album design experience-
an easy process
We set aside a time for me to share that first design with you virtually- or in person. You choose. I share the full design and we take time to review each spread to make any changes you want so that this album includes all the moments that you value most.
I'll share design options and help you pick the cover that fits you and your wedding best. I'll take care of all the details, ordering, and shipping.

The Design
I design with a mixed approach- using fewer photos on certain pages to really let those photos shine while filling other pages with photos that show the energy and feeling of your wedding day. Ultimately, I design with you in mind and since this will be your album for life, your input is key. The process is meant to be as easy and seamless for you as possible- we can meet virtually and each photo is numbered for you to make changes in real time during our revision meeting.
Album Options
Completely customized for you
The Cover
My album partner specializes in fine art books- handcrafted along each step of the way. They offer a large selection of materials, colors, and options for your cover. To not overwhelm you with choice, I like to ask you what you're envisioning then pull from that color family- or arrive to the meeting with suggestions ready that compliment your wedding decor.
We can also completely customize your cover and spine labeling- from simple text to custom designs or personalized logos, this is where we truly make your album yours.
The Boxes
The perfect place to store your album safely while still keeping it within reach is a beautiful box or slipcover. Designed to match your album perfectly, we can use the same or complementing color as well as customize the embossing.
These will not only protect your album from everyday dust, but the box acts as an additional location to store paper mementos from your wedding day- we keep our ceremony wording and handwritten cards in ours. The slipcover protects your album from dust while providing additional support for multi-volume sets.
"We LOVE LOVE LOVE the album!
We could not be happier with it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this a perfect memory for us!"
-Meagen & Sarah
These layflat albums are completely customizable and we have unlimited ways of making them yours- from a single volume 40 page album to a multi-volume 100 page collection with custom boxes, the combinations are open to whatever you can dream up.

Next Steps
If you have an album credit in your collection, I'll start designing your album after the wedding. If you do not have a credit in your collection, I will take a deposit to start designing.
I'll be in touch to schedule a revision meeting which we can do over Zoom- or at my studio in Monterey. These can take up to 2 hours while we comb through your album and guarantee that every moment you love is in the design to be preserved in print.
After a final review and approval from you online, the album is created and will be delivered to you- usually within the month.
