I created this album with the paper loving bride in mind.

I sifted through 80 bookcloths for the album cover and 15 different choices in end paper patterns.

Envelopments has a beautiful paper called “Repousse” and it comes in 7 colors. I chose the Dove color and used this paper for the liner for the album cover image, end paper and invitation page of the album.

Creating an album like this allows the bride to incorporate her invitation into the wedding album, which is the one thing you have after your wedding to remember your wedding by.

The album I created showcases my favorite wedding images from the last few years and instead of an actual invite page I used a beautiful poem about Love from Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The poem was printed on Envelopment’s Ecru paper.

The choices are endless and that’s what makes this album so much fun for me and for the bride.

I showcased this album at last weekend’s LA Printers Fair and it was a huge hit with this paper loving crowd.

Album companies have many different types of cover choices for albums including leather and japanese bookcloth.

My client wanted a gold cover for her wedding album so I found a bookcloth for her through a bookbinding company and Leather Craftsmen was willing to use the bookcloth the client preferred.

I just love how the album turned out.

I have always loved Jessica and Paulo’s wedding at the Hotel Metropole on Catalina Island. Catalina is such a majestic place to get married.

And because of my “special connections” on the island we also got to shoot at the iconic Catalina Casino.

The ever talented Kerry Murphy of Ever After Book designed their wedding album and I just love it.

My friend Kendra Duerst of Kendra Weddings invited me to participate in a photo shoot at the Mastro’s Steakhouse in Costa Mesa.

Kendra hired some amazing models and I met some great new wedding vendors that day.

This Mastro’s Steakhouse location can have weddings up to 100 guests and you have a choice of 4 different room configurations. Let’s be honest nothing beats Mastro’s food or service. Yummy.

Dream in Plastic – Analog Exhibit




I was honored to be a part of Dream in Plastic‘s first gallery exhibit, Analog. The images had to have been shot with a toy camera.

Dream in Plastic is located in Beacon, New York and sells toy cameras (and lots of other gems).

The exhibit ended in September but I forgot to blog about it. Oops.
