Okay, folks! As promised… more albums!
Today I want to show you an example of our parent albums. Parent albums are 8×8 inch leather-bound albums with beautiful hinged digital pages.
You can choose the color of the binding (all of which can be seen here). And, there are 20 sides of photos in your album.
Here are a few photos of our studio sample from Caitlin and Rolf’s beautiful Phipps Conservatory/William Penn Omni wedding last year!
And as I said before, we have samples of all these color options in our office downtown. So, come feel and smell the leathery goodness! :)
Happy Monday everyone!
I am really excited to show you something I have been thinking about and working on for a long time now: our new line of save-the-date cards!
We offer an engagement session with every level of wedding coverage, and one use for these engagement photos besides our beautiful guest sign-in album is our save-the-date cards.
Previously, clients who ordered save-the-date cards would work with me to design the card from scratch. I would create 2 or 3 design choices, they would choose the one they liked most, and then about 10 revisions later, we’d finally have the finished product! :)
Well, in order to simplify this process AND to give each client more design choices, I made a custom line of cards that can be completely customized in color, photo, and text.
Here are the details:
1. Each card is 5×7 inches and is printed on both the front and the back.
2. Each card may be customized to match the colors of your wedding
3. You may choose the engagement photo(s) to be used on your card
4. Cards are ordered in sets of 25 and come with either white or natural envelopes (specified below)
5. The basic design and font used on your card will remain the same (that is unless you send me brownies and tell me you’ll love me forever).
Here are the 8 designs that are available for save-the-date cards.
I am also designing a custom line of thank-you cards. Those will be folded cards with room for a note inside, and I will be posting these sometime over the next few weeks!
Happy Friday everyone!
I want to show you a few photos of our guest sign-in albums for wedding receptions. These albums have become really popular since we started offering an engagement shoot with every level of wedding coverage, and it is one of my personal favorite wedding add-ons!
The sign-in album is 10×10 inches with thick, hinged pages like our 12×12 wedding albums (and, they would look awesome sitting together on your coffee table!). It includes your favorite engagement photos and also offers room for guest signatures on every page. The color options are modern and fun, and the album color can also coordinate with your wedding album color and/or wedding reception colors. And on a personal note, I always love to see guests enjoying your engagement photos at the wedding reception!
Here are a few photos from our studio sample of Adriel and Neal’s engagement session. We have many more of these books coming in the next few months from last year’s engagement shoots. So, I will post more photos as they come in.
There are lots of color choices for this album (which you can see here). And, we have samples of every cover material in our office. So, feel free to come feel and smell the amazing choices anytime! :)
Recently, Brad and I have started including a full set of professional printed proofs with every wedding and portrait package. And, we just received the new Milla C. Photography proof boxes for delivering these proofs to our clients!
Aren’t they awesome? I absolutely love them and can’t wait to start sending them out.
Why do we include proofs with our wedding and portrait packages?
Good question! :)
First, we love having photos in-hand and we want our clients to hold actual physical photos instead of only viewing them on a computer screen. It’s hard to see the big picture of your wedding day when you’re viewing photos one-by-one on a small screen, and because of issues with monitor calibration, the photos will look slightly different on every computer screen! You can read my posts about monitor calibration here!
Also, we want you to ENJOY your photos by putting them in frames, passing them out to family and friends, sticking them in thank-you cards, etc.
Finally, we include professional proofs with every package because we want our clients to see the difference between professional prints and consumer prints. Seriously, folks, there is NO comparison! Our professional prints are completed with a lustre coating that protects them over time. And, the colors are bright and vibrant without being over-saturated, as they often are when ordered from consumer labs. We have rave reviews about the quality of our professional prints, and I want everyone to have some in-hand!
I am back today with more product photos to share.
Brad and I only have a few more wedding bookings open this year, so we have been turning our marketing efforts to 2011 and thinking about additional services and products that we’d like to offer our clients in the future. We have redesigned our wedding packages and have made many great updates to our album offerings as well as product packages that include cards, framed collections, and beautiful canvas prints. And, we have added a very exciting service: the Milla C. Photo Booth (more to come on that later!)!
To reflect these changes, we have created an new pricing pamphlet that we will be sending to prospective clients. Instead of sending pricing via email as we have done in the past, we will now be mailing these beautiful cards with all our pricing and package information for you to have in-hand!
So, if you are interested in more information about our wedding or portrait pricing, you will see a new box on our contact form asking for your full address.
Here are a few pictures of the new Milla C. Photography pricing pamphlets!
Over the next few days, I am going to post some photos of our packaging, pricing brochures, and albums that we have been working on over the cold, snowy winter months! We are very, very excited about everything, and I can’t wait to show you the facelift that our products have undergone recently.
These DVDs for high-resolution client images have been screenprinted by North Coast Interactive, and the beautiful tins were recommended to me by Caryn Azure and come from Effectuality. We will use these DVDs to send high-resolution images from weddings and portrait shoots, and we also will use them for making DVDs of our music slideshows!
I love wedding albums.
I love seeing the “story” displayed on beautiful pages and customized to fit each couple’s taste.
And I love Leighanna and Shawn’s album. Here are a few photos.
p.s. for those of you currently choosing your album color, this leather is called “pumpkin spice” and is AMAZING for fall weddings! It’s soft. It’s vibrant. It smells wonderful. :) Very fun choice Leighanna and Shawn!
