We will be posting the entire album on our main albums page like we usually do, but we also wanted to put our favorite panoramic album spreads here on the blog.

This is the most recent book we did for Britney and Quinton’s Wedding.   We took the images from their engagement session and designed the pages similar to an album.  The pages lay flat, which allows for a panoramic spread.  We then mount the pages in an Italian leather cover.  Your wedding guest then sign the book much like they would a yearbook.  No more guest books with 5 pages of signatures followed by 20 blank pages!!!  Instead, you get a truly unique keepsake!

Here are a few of my favorite spreads from the book.  I took some photos of the book after it was signed, and I will post them soon as well.

This is sort-of an artistic retro look, you either love it or hate it, but it worked for this particular couple!

They were married at St. Monica Catholic Church in Edmond, OK.  Their Reception was at the Oklahoma City Sheridan Hotel in Downtown OKC.

It was a great day of shooting, and I liked their album so much I am posting my top few spreads here on the blog… but if you want to see the entire album, you can on our main site’s “flush mount albums” page!

Lately, I have been often asked about proper care and maintenance for the albums, PhotoBooks, and signature books. They all have leather covers. So I guess the bottom line is: use common sense. In other words, don’t be flipping the pages of the album when you are eating Cheetos, or use your coffee table book as a coaster for your morning coffee… which I know you won’t be doing.

Your wedding album is constructed to last generations. It is primarily made up of two materials paper- and leather covers. The leather is very different then leather that goes on furniture or apparel: it is treated differently, so try to avoid anything that might stain it.

As with anything made from paper, humidity and temperature changes can and will affect your album pages. Your album should not be stored in any area that has high humidity or is damp… That can be a very bad thing.

What will happen is the pages may warp or stick. If this does happen, the pages usually will go back to their original form once moved to a more temperature controlled environment. You could also place a heavy object on top of the album, but only if you can evenly distribute the weight. After a couple weeks, it should be good as new.

Storing your album in an attic that is not temperature controlled or heavily insulated is usually not advisable. Also, don’t leave your wedding album on a coffee table that is in direct sunlight or in your car. The sunlight and heat can cause the glues to break down, and the leather can fade.

Since everyone’s home is different, every album can be affected differently dependant on the size of the book, the type of paper used, and the style of album you purchase. To a certain extent, slight page warping is normal.

I go over this in greater detail with my clients when an album is delivered. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to call or email.

Thanks,

Aaron
