Better Late Than Never | Album from 2006

Wedding albums are important.

We know the main reason couples choose to have photographers at their wedding- planning the family portraits, capturing little details, getting romantic shots of the bride and groom- is to be able to show off their favorite photographs afterward.

These moments are too important to allow just any old cheap digital camera or cell phone manned by a guest be the only way they are captured. And, throwing a few pictures on facebook is not the best way to remember the day. Couples know that is not how you preserve such a big event as two families joining together, creating a new family history. Yes, it’s fun to share images by email and on social sites. But, they know that the internet is not a substitute for an heirloom.

And we love that clients want photographs. They want polished portraits, images that show them at their best. And they want to share the story of their wedding in a way that only a wedding album can.

We are proud of the fact that 90% of our clients have wedding albums to remember their special day. We make sure that the images in those albums are the ones that tell their story.

So we were thrilled when Jane and Kaushik, who were married in 2006, recently came back to have their wedding album created. We loved knowing that this album was so important to them, that even after all these years, they held it as a priority to get it designed and made. It's not often that we are asked to make an album for a wedding that was more than 5 years ago, but we loved being able to do it.

And we know that as their family grows, they will be happy that they have this album to share their favorite wedding day photographs.

Album shown is the Artistic Chunky, with luster pages and leather cover with photograph.

Album Love

The finished wedding album was very important to Ashley. She knew this was going to be something she would cherish forever and wanted it to be perfect. Ashley put a lot of thought into how she wanted everything to look and worked with us to make sure it followed her vision. Ashley's mother was also very excited about the wedding and the album. She choose to go with a matching album in the exact same size as Ashley and Casey chose for their wedding album.

This album is the Artistic Skinny, with matte art pages and full custom cover. Ashley said it was perfect, that it turned out exactly how she wanted it. I'm sure she is having fun showing off her beautiful album and reliving her fabulous day!

Fall Family Session | Madison Wisconsin

This was my favorite image from the whole session! I loved how the brother and sisters were playing around together, teasing like they normally would.

I feel honored that I have been able to photograph Melanie's family several times, including when their youngest was a newborn. This session was fun with the antique sofa. I hadn't realized it was an antique when I bought it, so I felt a little guilty taking it out into the park!

Ashley & Casey | Weddings

Ashley & Casey were married at the Monona Terrace in downtown Madison Wisconsin last summer. They were married on the rooftop and their reception followed in the Grand Terrace and in a ballroom.

The view during the ceremony was stunning! The chuppah was on the lakeside of the rooftop terrace, so all the guests were able to see the couple against the view of the lake.

During the reception, we sneaked back up to the roof top for a few more images at dusk.

The room was beautiful! And the dancing was a blast! They did a traditional Jewish dance, Hora, that got more of the guests up and enjoying the start of the evening.

Ashley and Casey's album is complete, and I'll be sharing some of those images soon!

Emily & Eric | Album

I had posted about our new albums that we added to our line-up before the big bridal show in Madison (and I'm showing it again here). I was showing off the beautiful cover, which I *LOVE*, so now I'm showing some of the page layouts inside:
