Happy Holidays!
Liz Images will be closed until January. Now's your chance to catch up on blog reading. I have over 60 Storybook Albums on my blog so be sure to check out the archives.

Thanks to all my clients for making 2007 the best year ever!!!

Rebecca & Jeremy have their Storybook Album already!!!
They got married on October 19th and now less than 2 months later they have their Storybook Album. I actually sweet-talked the album company into getting it ready early. Most of my clients get their album at their 3 month anniversary which is still very fast. I hear horror stories of couples waiting months to get their album....

These are top of the line leather albums that have non bendable pages that open flat. Each design is completely custom and is unique as the day itself. Anyway, Rebecca & Jeremy's album is gorgeous. They are an incredibly sweet couple and when Jeremy came by to pick it up he wanted to wait until he got home to Rebecca so they could see it for the first time together. Awww.

See the rest of their album here and watch their special day unfold.

Mindy & James have their Storybook Album!
They were married in October and already have their album to show their families over the holidays. I do put in extra hours to get these albums out so fast-- but it is worth the extra effort. My business is now 80% referrals-- thanks to all my happy clients.

This is the first album I've done with silver lettering on the brown leather cover. I think it looks sharp. Such a great couple who are such a perfect match- they both love horses and the outdoors. I enjoyed getting to know them this past year. Take a look at a few favorite pages from their album:

Guest Book Mania!
I've been busy-busy designing several custom guest books. They are guest books with YOUR engagement photos in them and space around the photos for the wedding guests to sign. These are the latest-greatest must-have item!!!

There is practically no limit to the layout and color design. Here is a two-page spread from Holly & Brad's design:
The guests will probably sign in either a white or silver pen. See the rest of their Guest Book here.

And here is Dana & Blake's design:
The guests will probably sign the book using a brown fine point marker. See the rest of their Guest Book here. And I blurred out the wedding details on the first page (to prevent wedding crashers!), so the first page usually has the church and reception location.

Another New Storybook Album Design!
Michelle & Randy had such a joy-filled romantic day, and I think their album captures it well.
The last page in the album took my breath away. See it all here.

Putting some love on the walls
A lot of my clients order 16x20s and larger to put on the walls-- here's what Becky & Jim ordered. I also do framing, and will be framing this for them as well. Anyway, I think having some enlargements of the two of you on your wedding day is a good idea. Becky and Jim are going to hang this in their living room. Clients also order big prints for their bedroom-- I think that really sends out a good vibe.

Shannon and Michael's big day!
Shannon and Michael are married and are now somewhere warm with palm trees- lucky them. Their wedding day was a blast-- both are so easy to photograph. The day seemed to go so fast but everything went perfectly. And I have to mention Shannon's shoes: Imagine shopping for wedding shoes and finding a shoe designer named "Michael Shannon", is that fate or what?
The shoes!
Check out Shannon's expression on the mirror-- and that's one of the flower girls in red.
The bridesmaids wore black and each chose a unique necklace. Shannon's mom was her maid of honor. Flowers by A Touch of Elegance.

An over-the-top moment- holding hands but not seeing each other before the ceremony.

Coming down the aisle!
So happy together.

The limo was a surprise from his parents.
The reception was at the Louisville Slugger Field.
Check out the cute favors- a baseball!
The First Dance....!

Shannon and Michael's completely custom Storybook Album will be my last one for 2007-- be sure to check back to see it. Congratulations you two!!!

Laura & Alan's Storybook Album
Well, here it is! What fun it was to make-- although there was SO much I wanted to include!!! This is the initial design, I'm going to do a few picture swaps for them and then it will be ready. They will have it next month-- yay!!!


I love all the details in this book-- they really help tell the story! Click here to see their whole album.

Liz and Curtis are married!
They seem to be the type of people who really enjoy life and have a sense of humor. I spent the first part of the day with Liz in the getting ready room and just about every picture she is smiling and/or laughing-- it was great. And then I saw Curtis who decided to wear sandals on his wedding day-- in a Catholic church! What a team!
I love the upscale look of her fall bouquet.
Getting ready....
Making eye contact with her future husband.
Laughing (of course!)
Curtis and his best man-- check out the shoes!
Together!

Liz and Curtis wanted me there just for a couple hours to shoot the ceremony. So I created a custom package just for them and they will still get a Storybook Album. Stay tuned to see it.

Holiday Ordering Info

Becky & Jim's Storybook Album
Another new album! These are 100% personalized and I love how thrilled everyone has been with my designs. I make each one with no initial input from the bride and groom. Really, I let the photos of the day do the talking!

Jim's son Andrew was a major player in their wedding (and their lives) so I felt I had to devote a page just to him. They loved it!!! Clients can always edit the designs, and so the only the only changes I made to this one were adding a couple more family photos and swapping out a few others.
See the rest of this newest Storybook album.

Another from Michelle & Randy's day....
I'm working on their pics right now and this one caught my eye. More later!

Another Storybook Album!
Here is another album that came in last week, in time for Thanksgiving. This is Anna & Jimmy's album, which captures their gorgeous outdoor wedding.

I love that each album is designed from scratch and is as unique as each wedding day.... (my secret is that I used to work as a graphic designer)
They even have words added to the design! Each album comes with your choice of leather cover, opens flat, and has heavy non bendable pages. See the rest of their album here.

Laura and Alan's collage
They sure packed a lot into their day-- and it was SO much fun. Can't wait for you to see their album. Meanwhile, here is their collage (click to enlarge):

Storybook Wedding albums
I worked a teensy bit harder so I could have a bunch of Storybook Albums to my clients by Thanksgiving. So Kelly & Stephen were married on September 22nd and received their album in time to show their families on Thursday. How quick is that???
I love all the fun in this book! See it all here.

Bethany and Doug also received their album in time for Thanksgiving. Bethany already told me how everybody oohed and ahhed over the album. She must love knowing that her album is completely custom and tailored to her wedding day!
