This weekend I received several complaints that I have not been blogging frequently enough.  So since I don’t want to get griped out again I am making an effort to blog more.  This one is for you Mrs. Crow!

I know what a lot of my clients must be thinking when they see their final images.  “Sure these are great, but what am I supposed to DO with them?”  Actually, I’m hoping that they are also thinking…..”that one is SOOOO awesome that is absolutely needs to be a 30×40 gallery wrapped canvas to go over our sofa.”  However, I do understand that one house can only hold so many 30×40 canvases before it tends to look like a shrine to yourselves. hee hee hee.  So what I suggest is an album.  Recently I have become a bit album obsessed.  I want to make EVERYTHING into an album.  It has even become contagious.  My good friend Lindsey has caught it and I’m afraid it may be spreading rapidly through our playgroup.  It’s o.k. though because it’s a good thing to catch.

My new most favoritest (is that a word? can you tell I was an English major) type of album in the engagement sign in album.  I made one for Jed and Jana’s wedding and it was a big hit.  By a show of hands….How many of you have that plain, white, boring guest sign in book from your wedding that you have never even looked at except maybe when you came back from your honeymoon to remind yourself of who was at the wedding?  Uh huh. Thought so. Hands down.  The main reason that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the engagement sign in album is because it has plenty of space for your friends and family to leave thoughtful congratulations and well wishes.  Think “yearbook signing.”  I realized as I watched the sister of the bride flip through the book and read some of the entries through tears just how important this book would be to the bride and groom in the future.  I wish I had one of these from my wedding.  Instead I have the plain, white, boring guest sign in book…..I think I even have a matching feather pen.  Ha ha just kidding.  I may have to pull it out to show clients and compare and let them decide which would be better to have at their wedding.

Here are some pictures of a engagement sign in album:

The next entry will be in ten years the pictures will still be in tupperware or on CD Why I think EVERY couple NEEDS a wedding album.
