Accordion Albums

This post is all about the one type of fun album I offer to my clients: it's the accordion album. It is 2.5  inches by 3.5 inches in size and it is perfect to carry in your purse to pull out to show to your friends, family and co-workers the photos from your wedding, engagement portrait session or even from your family portrait session with all your kids' photos in it. It is a really cool little "brag book". There are two different ways you can order it: (#1) one has 42 photos and you order a single album (#2) or another has 14 photos and you get three albums bundled together for the price of one. There are over 60 different cover options: from leather covers to fabric covers (in a ton of different colors and patterns). They come in a little black organza bag and all the photos have UV coating to make the photos last a lifetime. I gift wrap them all in a little bag with tissue paper and I am happy to mail it straight to the client and any of their family members that they want to get them for. I also offer it (#2 - three accordion albums with 14 photos in each) as a free gift to my clients when they book a wedding with products and services that total over $1500. All of my albums are proudly "Made in the USA" and showcase superior craftsmanship.

This photo displays the accordion album (in the black and 
white damask pattern), the black organza bag that it comes in 
and the gift wrapping bag, with tissue paper, that I present it in.

and (2) another in a black and white damask pattern

This shows how the album folds out like an accordion. The 
covers have magnetic plates in them that hold it all together.

 This photo shows how it looks when 
it is completely folded open.

 Close-up to see how vivid the colors of the 
photos are. They really look fantastic!
I hope you like the accordion albums. They really are fun and make great gifts for you and your loved ones!

Bridal Show Exhibit

 On Sunday, January 8, 2012 I had the opportunity to have a photography booth at the Wedding Wonderland Bridal Show at the York Expo Center in York, Pennsylvania. I had hundreds of brides and their friends and families stop by my booth. I was doing meet-and-greets with everyone stopping by the booth. I am posting photos of the booth along with some descriptions because everything you see in the photographs, I offer to my clients to purchase using their photos from their weddings and engagement portraits. Please feel free to give me a call and I can email you my whole price list for 2012! If you like what you see, I would love to set up a free in-home consultation where I sit down with the soon-to-be bride and groom and bring many of these products to show you the endless possibilities of how to turn your photographs into priceless works of art and gorgeous albums.

Here's an overview shot of the whole booth. My business colors
are red, white and black and those are used throughout the booth.
I had large canvas gallery wraps and my business name on a 
banner hanging up around the booth. Then I had albums, 
prints, sample Save the Dates and other items on two tables.
 On this side of the booth I had three large photographs on 
easels. One is a sample from the custom framing company I 
use. The other two are canvas gallery wraps with a floating 
wood frame around it. They turn out beautifully. They really 
make a statement when hanging in the home!

Different "Save the Dates", "wedding invitations" and 
"wedding announcements" using photos from engagement 
portraits and weddings. I can also custom create "thank you" 
cards and "Christmas/Hanukkah" cards using your favorite 
photos from your wedding. I can change and customize the 
colors and text fonts to fit the individual colors and style 
of your wedding. Call today to find out more information 
on these great press printed products!
 An overview photograph of four different albums I have to 
showcase the different styles and wide range of how I can 
custom design an album from your wedding or engagement 
session. I offer three different styles of albums: (1) accordion 
albums (2) Press printed books and (3) Willowbook Sequoia 
albums. The accordion album is the perfect size to carry in your 
purse to show friends, family and co-workers photos from your 
wedding. It is a really cool little "brag book" style of album that 
I am proud to offer to my clients. It is a perfect for the bride or 
as gifts to the mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom. 
Then there is the "Press Printed Book" style of album which is an 
economical choice for either a wedding album or as a guest book
 album using your engagement portraits. The last style of album 
I offer is the "Willowbook Sequoia Album". It comes in over a 
dozen different colors of leather, linen or brushed metal cover 
styles. You can have text or photos on the cover as well. It is a 
high-end album and is guaranteed to last a lifetime. All of my 
albums are proudly "Made in the USA" and showcase superior 
craftsmanship.

 Canvas gallery wraps are a new, modern, 3-dimensional way to 
showcase photographs on your walls instead of the traditional 
picture in a frame. You can get one large gallery wrap or have 
several that you cluster together to make a statement wall.
This is a photograph of an entire bridal party.
 Here is a vertical-shaped gallery wrap of a bride and groom.

 At the top of this photo is a sample of an accordion album 
(this one holds 42 photos). Then below it is a sample of an 
11x14 print in a 16x20 frame with white mat that you can 
have all your guests sign at your wedding. The photo is of a 
couple from their engagement session. Later, many like to 
change out the photo to their favorite photo from their 
wedding and hang it in their new place.
I hope you like the products and services that I can offer. Please call me at 717-422-5050 today to schedule a consultation and I will be happy to email you my current price list. Good luck planning your wedding and I look forward to hearing from you soon! All the best, Lizzie
