Special album offering for a 2009 couple

I offer many products and albums for my clients. Sometimes a couple will request a product that I don't have on my rate card. I am all about making my clients happy with images and albums that they will cherish as their first family heirloom and welcome any such requests.

When Tricia and Bob mentioned to me they wanted a traditional slip-in album I was a bit nervous. This was the type of album I received from my wedding photographer back in 2001. I was nervous because it was something I've never had to layout or order. You see, instead of designing an album with software and sending the files to a album book binder, the slip-in album needs to be constructed in a totally different way. Individual photographs are printed in various sizes, mats are ordered with different sized openings. Both are then hand assembled into a beautiful album that will definitely stand the test of time.

I am very proud of the way the album came together. I'm sure Tricia and Bob will be satisfied with their choice of a more traditional album for years to come!

Another ordered print from the bride and groom... I just love when they choose the beautiful artsy wedding photos!

I just had to post this remarkable image from Leah and John's September wedding in Little Chute, WI. This is the image they chose for their wall portrait and I couldn't be happier with their selection!

Album sneak peak - Appleton Wedding Photography

Here are some shots from one of the wedding albums that I designed and delivered for Christmas 2009. It is so important for a bride and groom to have a finished professional representation from their wedding photographer. Whether you receive professional prints, canvas or an album - a finished piece of art is an important part of wedding coverage.

Today too many brides are only focused on the disk. Believe it or not, many brides never print images from their disks. They get caught up in life, family and their jobs... leaving them with nothing. Don't let this happen to you! Make sure your wedding photographer offers more than just a disk of your wedding images as part of your wedding photography package. I feel a long blog post coming on...

Back to the album.

This album is one of my Fine Art leather albums. Heidi and Dave opted to add a couple of features to make their album a bit more personalized... Their cover features top grain leather, silver imprinting and a cameo image. They also added their names to the spine...





This wedding album lays flat. The pages are hand mounted flush to the thick page. I have all of my albums with a split gutter ensuring the longevity of the book. This split page design ensures your book will not crack or peel in the gutter over the years.




We needed to squeeze in a bunch of images onto this spread. I usually recommend 2-3 images per page. When you are planning your album you will want to choose between 90 and 100 images for a 30 page album.


Each book is blind embossed with my logo on the back cover...

This Fine Art album is my mid-range album. I also offer an heirloom album that is just exquisite! Contact me for more information on album choices...

Tiffani & Scott :: Green Bay Wedding

September 12, 2009
St. John's Catholic Church - Little Chute

Reception - Oneida Casino, Green Bay


Tiffani and Scott planned a gorgeous wedding fit for a prince and a princess. Which is exactly the theme of their day. Tiffani chose a gown with a fitted bodice and long train, they had a castle cake and a fairytale book on every table at the reception.

It was an honor to document the wedding of two awesome people. Here are my favorites from the day...








Tiffani and her dad have a very special bond. They took dancing lessons and swirled around on the dance floor! It was so heartwarming to watch...

Dana & Tim :: Neenah Outdoor Wedding

Sunday, September 6, 2009
Ceremony and Reception: Bridgewood Resort and Conference Center, Neenah, WI


Dana and Tim had a fabulous Sunday wedding. The day started getting ready at their home on Doty Island. The couple had their first look in Doty Park and several photos at the Whiting Boathouse.

The day was perfect. Warm, sunny and gorgeous. The grounds at the Bridgewood were perfect for a wedding.

I had a ton of favorites from this wedding...


This darling little kitty kept it's eye on us while we were photographing the dress.









I love photographing the parents at every wedding. They are so proud of their children and are beaming with joy. Having parents this great deserves it's own photo!







Tracy & Tim :: Four Seasons Resort - Wisconsin


Tracy and Tim selected the Four Seasons Resort in Pembine, WI for their destination Wisconsin wedding. The resort is located in Northern Wisconsin on the Menomonie River which also serves as our border to Michigan. For some odd reason I automatically thought of a rustic place with lots of wood grain and maybe even a stuffed hunting trophy or two. I was excited to see how beautiful the resort was. Not only was the ceremony site well maintained and lovely... the building, the staff and even the pool was just awesome! I never doubted Tracy and Tim's impeccable taste... I knew they would do something beautiful and unique. But I really had no idea how beautiful everything would come together until I edited their wedding images. The grounds, the lighting... everything was just amazing.

To top of the physical beauty of the day was the free flowing emotions that brought so many to tears. I love it when a couple can put the stress of planning a wedding day aside and really enjoy every minute of the day... even if it is filled with happy tears.

It was a joy and an honor to photograph their wedding. Enough words... let's get to the amazing photos!!!

The light for the pre-ceremony shots was delightful! I love seeing the anticipation on their faces...

Walking your daughter down the aisle on her wedding day is emotional enough... at the Four Seasons the walk was extra long. But it served for the most perfect backdrop!


I am in love with Tim's reaction as Tracy and her father approach the ceremony. I love the way his smile is framed on the right photo.

The officiant of this ceremony really made the event memorable. She brought a personalization to the ceremony and even nick named the best man "sweet cheeks" and called him that when she was ready for the rings...

Here is an example of the perfect first kiss. Tim swept Tracy off of her feet and planted a wet one on her. What's even more special is that Tim constructed the arbor!


This is the one-lane 100 year old wood bridge that is the only access to Miscuano Island. There is a legend that the gangsters of the 1920's used this island as a hide out and removed wood planks from the bridge to deter and unwanted visitors!



The lighting all day was absolutely fabulous!!!



The cake was made to resemble the linear banding on Tracy's gown...
