The Wedding Book

Ok...I was going to wait until tomorrow..but I cant keep it in any longer...(and neither can Stacy)!

Steven, you win.....sort of....

Seriously though, that wicked fall from rubber man Jake Brown was pretty cool...you have to admit.

Ok, so...a couple of weeks ago we went to TX for a semi-vacation type thing...more so because my best friend was getting married, and I was to be a groomsmen in the wedding. We figured we would just stay at the resort where the wedding was because it was easier, and way cooler than just a regular hotel.

Turns out, the resort was sooo beautiful, but the room was equal to those of a Motel 8...not bad....just....your supposed to get what you pay for you know? Anyhow, my description of the resort; "A Pinto with an $8,000 paint job."

That flipped a switch.

After thinking a bit, I decided that the album company I had been using no longer meet the standard that I am trying to set as a wedding photographer. Ever since then, I've been researching various album makers located in throughout the world. I am a very picky person, and only want the most perfect wedding book for my brides...they deserve it!

So without a due, I am so frikkin uber excited to be announcing our new partnership with GraphiStudio. These guys' albums wedding books are among the finest in the world...hand crafted in Italy! The cover options are endless, ranging from Ostrich (?wow..), to a polished chrome...soooo yummy! (all but the fabric covers are shown)







My personal favorite is the crystal cover, which I so graciously photographed for you. These babies are big...a whopping 16" by 20"...thats bigger than the room we were in at the "resort!"

It is amazingly difficult to educate clients, on the fact that they really do want more than, "just a CD." We do give the CD of prints, but it comes with the wedding book packaged ever so nicely. I've been doing this long enough now to see, and read about all of those "orphaned brides"...the brides who only got a CD with prints from their big day. Wheres the memories? Wheres that CD now? A book can be picked up and looked at quicker than jack rabbit can jack a rabbit...and thats "holy crappity" fast.

I absofrikkinlutely cannot wait for the first bride to be able to see this beautiful wedding book. I'll be even more excited to tell her...that this is these custom designed wedding books now accompany our "Option 1" wedding package!

I am so passionate about my job, and I feel that this wedding book completes the circle! So excited!

Check out a cool video about the book on GraphiStudio's website!
