Guestbook

One of the products I get the most excited to offer my clients are photo guestbooks. These products are great not only for weddings, but also for high school seniors for their open house. They are beautiful and serve not only as an album documenting your engagement (or senior) photographs, but they also offer a space for your guests to leave comments and advice. I have my own engagement guestbook from my wedding, and my husband and I still love to look through it to remember our engagement session and read the wonderful things that our loved ones wrote for us on our wedding day.

I photographed Dina + Grigor's guestbook, which they used at their wedding on August 20.

These books can come with a custom hardcover (shown) or many classy leather and antique leather cover options.

On the front page, we leave a message from the bride and groom inviting guests to sign their book.

I design them with lots of white space so they are clean and simple and leave plenty of room for comments.

The binding of the book also gets your names and wedding date.

The pages are hinged and lay totally flat, which is awesome because it allows the guestbookto lay flat when it is on your table and when people are signing it.

I love this product! I can't wait to design more for my future brides & grooms!

Happy Thursday!

packaging

Its crazy how many decisions there are to make when you start a new business. Designing a logo, a website, learning so many new skills! One of the things I recently started to brainstorm about is packaging. I want to keep everything in line with my logo, and this is my first crack at it. There are a few things I'd like to do differently next time, but for now, this is the kind of setup my client's products (prints, etc) come in! It was fun to hand the first one off today to one of my senior photography clients. I've always liked to give gifts, and handing over their goods wrapped up like this feels like gift-giving. 

My job is so cool.
