The Guestbook and Albums

When I got married 4 years ago, I went to Michaels and, without much thought, just got a traditional guestbook that had some lines for people to sign their name.  Honestly, at that time, the guestbook was the last thing on my mind amidst all the other wedding details.  And in all honesty, I haven’t looked at that guestbook in a while.  It was this experience that made me want to include a personalized photo guestbook in all my wedding packages for my clients.  It serves so many purposes and I am all about efficiency.  First off, the guestbook album is a great way to compile the engagement photos, which is also included in all my packages.  I think the engagement session is invaluable in getting to know the couple and getting the couple comfortable with me and my camera.  Secondly, the guestbook album allows loved ones to memorialize their wishes for the new couple through funny and touching messages.  Thirdly, the combination of the photos and the comments from loved ones makes it fun to look through for years to come.

All albums, including the guest book album, are published through one of the finest album companies, Leather Craftsman.  I love the clean, modern and classic look of the album, which is accompanied by the highest quality papers, covers and creases to ensure lifelong durability.  Below are images from Hyon and Teresa’s guestbook album.

Lots of clean, white space for signatures and notes from the guests….Below are the pages from the album.  It’s amazing how putting the images together naturally creates a story…My favorite page from the album, below:
