• Guestbooks

  
  

  In 2006 I began creating guest books from engagement sessions.  These books are used in place of frames and other guest books at weddings.  These books incorporate photographs from the bride and grooms engagement session as well as other snapshots from their time together.  The space on each page allows guests to leave messages or sign their names the day of the wedding as well as take a peak at a few photographs of the couple.  The fabulous part about these books is that they aren’t just a lined book with a bunch of signatures or a frame you can place on your wall.  These Guest books allow you to place your engagement photographs and messages from your friends and loved ones on your coffee table to browse when ever the fancy strikes.

  
  

  They are not only incredibly fun to create but they are a fabulous way to tell a story.  This year alone I have been privileged enough to create eight guest books for my clients using their engagement photographs.  Take a peak at the gallery.

  Do be careful when creating any book with on-line book companies.  Make sure you have a copyright release or license to use the photograph in the book.  As Blurb.com would say…”you don’t want to mess with Mickey Mouse”

  
  

  I am finally sitting down at my computer to process weddings.  I have 5 to share from the last month or so…check back in the next couple of days!!

  
  

  Best wishes,
