After waiting almost an entire year to complete new album designs and find new vendors to work with, we finally have a complete set of new sample albums in the studio! This was a great item to check off of the 101 in 1001 list, and I am so happy to have these beautiful albums to show.
Finding the right albums for your work is not an easy task, and we worked with numerous album companies until we finally found the right ones for us. Once we found the companies we worked with best, and the styles that best bound together our clients stories, our wedding photography really came into its own. Now, album design is by far one of my favorite aspects of our wedding photography. I love to tell our clients’ stories through their design. Getting albums in is always one of the highlights of each week!
I slowly narrowed down the album companies we work with by talking with other photographers and studios and going through some painstakingly detailed research at WPPI. To the fellow photographers who read this blog, I would really encourage you to get out there and look for what you really want out of your albums. There are some beautiful and unique products that will fit your brand so well! I think the main thing I’ve learned about albums over the past couple of years is that they can be what you want them to be. Don’t settle for any products just because they are more mainstream or seemingly easier to work with up front. I found some companies that would work WITH us, and help us create the products we were looking for. I found wonderful reps and incredible support by simply asking.
I am thrilled to have the albums that we wanted, that fit our brand, now complete and in the studio. Drop by and check them out if you are in the neighborhood!
