As I get ready to showcase my wedding photography at the many Northwest Indiana bridal shows this winter, I thought it was a good time to revisit some of the custom wedding album designs I did for clients this year. I plan on ordering some duplicate copies so I can show them off at the shows and also give new clients a chance to see an entire wedding from me. This can be helpful for newly engaged couples looking to hire a photographer for their wedding.

First and foremost, I'm purely a local wedding photographer, serving Northwest Indiana, Chicago and Michigan. However, I'm very proud of the designs that I do for my client's albums. I like to wear that hat as well and nothing is outsourced. After the wedding is complete and all of the images are edited, I notify my couples and we have a Premiere Night. First we watch their highlight video of images captured from getting ready all the way to the reception. We then look at images one by one. After all of this is complete, we decide together what would be the best images for the front and back covers of the wedding album.

The above walking away shot made for a fitting end to Dustin and Jenny's album. We took many great shots on the spectacular bridge that overlooks Centennial Park in Munster, but something about the happy couple making their way into the sunset, resonated with the newlyweds as well as me.
For Nathan and Nichole's outdoor military wedding at Wicker Park, classic white was featured throughout the book. I added many flourshes with brushes in photoshop to give them a unique, yet classic design for their album.

Adding quotes is also very effective and when laced throughout the album. Chris and Candy's summer wedding at Avalon Manor seemed to call out for many philisophical words of love.

Stacey and Steve's wedding reception at The Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster was a grand old time. For their reception pages, some champagne decor seemed to compliment the happy mood of the bride's father spinning her around on the dance floor as well as the other key events at the reception.
One of their favorite wedding images of the day is this photo of them strolling through the garden at the Shrine of Christ's Passion in St. John, Indiana. The off white rose added a nice soft touch to the decorated album page.

I encourage you to fill out the contact form and schedule a meeting to take a look at sample albums in person. I love cusomizing them for my wedding clients and I'd love to show them to you as well. See you at those bridal shows this winter!! :)
