Shari Zellers Photography : Kimberly + Jermaine

So I've just finished a third design for Shari Zellers......check out a rockin' slideshow of the whole book design HERE!

My favorite way to design is with fewer images in a clean, classic, simple layout, sometimes with punches of vibrant color. A few of my favorite page spreads are below---I adore the vibrant color that I used to enhance the middle layout.

Jeannette + Daniel's Wedding Book!!

Last October Paul & I fotographed the wedding of Jeannette + Dan at St. Clements Castle in Portland, CT. It was a romantic, rainy day wedding, and I recently finished a gorgeous book design for them. I designed this book to be a spine-on-top book, which is a new, fun style of book offered by Kambara. When open, the book will be a 16x20 spread! I can see this book being printed on metallic paper, with a linen finish, to bring out the brilliance of the both the vibrant & subtle colors of the images. Enjoy!

Here are just a few of my favs:

Ann + Walt's Love Book.....An AWESOME Day

Here is a Love Book design I've been working on for our lovely clients Ann & Walt, who's wedding we shot last September. We shot this "Get to Know You" Love shoot to close to their wedding date to be able to order a book for in time for their wedding. Usually our clients use these books for guests to write lovely messages to the couple during cocktail hour, but these books are also just a great way to have a fabulous book of your fun "Get to Know You" shoot. Some couples have been opting for two copies: one to write in, and the other not to. We went sailing with Ann + Walt, which was fantastically fun for both them and Paul & I! We really encourage our brides & grooms to think of a fun activity that they enjoy to do together, or a location that is special to them to spend the day fotographing. Think of us as your own personal paparazzi, but in a good way : )

Here are a few of my fav spreads, and be sure to CLICK HERE for a fabulous, summer breezy slideshow of the whole book!!!!

Design for Matthew J. Wagner Fine Photography!

So, I just finished a design I've been working on for Matthew J. Wagner Fine Photography! Matthew was hired to photography a family on vacation to St. John for 6 days, and came to me to create a clean, tropically (if that's a word!) book design. I designed a book a few months for one of my destination wedding couples that got married in Jamaica, so designing this book brought me back. I want to keep with an island theme, so I incorporated fun tropical colors to some of the layout's backgrounds, along with a few embellishments of tropical flowers. This book was a pleasure to design... I love building a story with a mixture of photojournalistic images and gorgeous, epic shots of beautiful scenery.
