One of My Favorite Wedding Albums

Over the past 8 years as a wedding photographer, I've used a lot of different album companies. Back when shawna K studio was Shawna Krystek Photography and no one could pronounce my last name (it's Chriss-tek, not Cry-stek), I only carried traditional wedding albums. All of the photographs were matted and then slipped into a large leather album. The edges were gilded, and some had metal tips on the corners. They were beautiful albums, but today I find most brides and grooms want something a little more reflective of their wedding day, whether it be traditional, contemporary, or even edge-y.

Finally, I have found a versatile bookbinder that carries products appealing to all of my clients. And the albums are gorgeous! Paige and Bret's album is one of my favorites.

This is the two-tone cover with image cut-out:

The turquoise and brown matched their wedding palette perfectly (wait 'till you see their cake):
