working on albums…
I love this part of our business. While the guys are editing all the gazillion images we take away from our weddings I love when the lists of favorites come in so I can start designing the albums. While the guys get to make the images all dreamy and lovely… I love putting them into a lovely book that the bride and groom and their families will be able to enjoy for years and years. I think about when they sit down together to look at their day over and over. I think about the future generations that might be looking through the book and seeing how their parents looked when they got married and how romantic or funny they were. I love making sure that they see all the things that they missed in the blur of the day…the details of their flowers, their jewlery, their hair,..the veil. Putting them in places that made them choose their venue or romantic spots nearby…I love big happy laughter and moments between parents and their grown up kids…I love the little ones as they grow up so fast….I love a grooms face when he sees his bride coming down the aisle or the romantic moments between them during a reveal. I love the tears in the father and mothers eyes during their dance. I love the tender looks between the bride and groom during the first dance. It’s all so beautiful. A wedding tells me alot about the bride and how she designs her wedding…I try to take that in when I am designing the album…it’s important to me that it be not only documentary but artistic as well. Every woman wants to remember her day as romantically as she can…
So yes, I love this part of what I do. I have an album that is about ready to present to the bride for approval. When that happens it gets sent to Italy to our album company where they make the most beautiful albums. We find it hard to go with anyone else when we have this level of beauty show up 6 weeks later…then we get to call the Bride and Groom to let them know their album has arrived! We never get tired of watching them see and feel the album for the first time…Yes, it is glorious!
Look for the album soon….

Ooh, I’ll second all that. I especially love when a mom sees her parent album and tears of joy fills her eyes. You said this so beautifully…it really does make all the hours worth it. I just wish I could see your albums when you post them….drrr.
So…about Dawn/Minnesota/September…do you have any inkling of thoughts about going there? Any at all? hmmm?
@mommyfish - Oh Nancy I would LOVE to do that but it seems we have a big dental bill looming with both kids coming into their widom teeth needing to be taken out! Arg! I loved when we were all younger and the last thing on our minds was getting old and the fear of financial drain of medical bills that might come as well as all the dental bills that are definitely coming with Lindsay’s braces and the wisdom teeth extractions. We are facing 8 of them between the two! Welcome debt again! Blah!
Someday I am going to do a not so nice blog on health care! Everything and I mean everything is going up! But I will save that for a rainy day post….I need to get into my bible and reassure myself that God knows our needs!
