Many brides are opting for destination weddings these days. Often, the destination site will offer a “package” to the bride that includes a photographer. The photographer gives the bride her images on a CD. Then what? She will probably put them in a folder on her computer to share the wedding photos with family and friends via social networking sites. But what about a wedding album?

My goal for all my brides is to have a beautifully designed wedding album. We have won several awards for our wedding albums, including the coveted ICON award from the Twin City Bridal Association.

Shannon and Sam got married on the beach at her parent’s Florida home in 2009. As a one-year anniversary gift, her mother suggested a Gift Baskets for Women and she contact me to have a wedding album designed by me from the images taken by her Florida wedding photographer. We sat at my computer and loaded in her CD of images. She selected all her favorites and then I got to work designing a beautiful album for her. Both mothers also ordered albums. A few weeks later, I uploaded the final album design to the company in Italy that produces my albums, Graphi Studio. Approximately two months later, Shannon got the fun phone call that her albums were ready! She loved her album and gave me permission to share it on this blog.

If you had a destination wedding and are wishing for a wedding album OR if you are a Minnesota bride who only got a CD from her wedding photographer, I would love to design an album for you! Here are some pages from Shannon and Sam’s album.
