So my last post on albums is a great excuse to share some of my favorite album designs. A word about album design first.
The current trend that’s prevalent in wedding album design is simplicity. If you were to seek out some of the most notable wedding photographers in the world you’d stumble across loads of albums laid out mostly in rectangle and square formats with photos on white or black backgrounds. One of my favorite photographers, Jerry Ghionis, creates gorgeous, award-winning albums. They’re noted in the industry for their class and elegance. Jerry’s albums are about the photos, letting each one speak for itself and creating a cohesive story–which is what I hope to achieve in my albums. Below is Holly and Bill’s album from their 2009 wedding at Meadow Creek Bed & Breakfast in Pine Colorado. All but the first and last image are 2 page spreads, designed for a 10″ x 10″ square album. Enjoy!
The last one is awesome! ps: i like the bats in your background
