This probably isn’t going to shock you, seeing as I’m an anniversary + wedding photographer, but I LOVE wedding albums. It’s the absolute best way to package up your wedding day after the flowers have wilted and the last swipe of cake frosting’s been devoured, and it’s the perfect heirloom to give your children, grandchildren, and more. A way to say “this is what our love looked like the day our story took on forever.”

Plus, there are only so many framed wedding photographs you can put on your walls before it starts to get weird. Whereas 30 pages worth of wedding album is perfectly normal!

My friend Katie blogs every wedding album she orders, and I loved the idea so much that I thought it’d be fun to do the same! You guys have followed these couples from their engagement to their wedding day- seeing their final album is the cherry on top!

So we’ll start off this ongoing series with Jake & Courtney’s wedding album! Remember their gorgeous Hendry House wedding last fall? I LOVE what my designer Andrea did with their book- it came together so well!

PS- if you’re a photographer looking to simplify your workflow, do yourself a huge favor and look into outsourcing your album spreads with Align! It’s saved me DAYS of work, and my clients get their books faster than ever! You can read more HERE and HERE.
