Merry, Merry, Merry CHRISTMAS!

So much to be thankful for and we hope that Joy and Love over flows your lives and hearts during this time, and follows you into the New Year:)

Another year has passed and looking back through the year we are reminded that there's so much to be thankful for. Here at Albumesque we are very thankful for all our clients and are in awe with all the amazing photographers that we get to work with throughout the year. We're excited to keep building those relationships and look forward to building new ones as well.

One photographer that I love working with, and I'm left with excitement and amazement every time I see their images, is the Krakoras. They're amazing! Not only is their work just plain fantastic but they are the sweetest, real, down to earth people you will ever meet. I love designing for them! Heather and Michael, I hope this year is even better then the last. Love you both!

-Amy (Albumesque Designer)

CLIENT | micah gilmore

There is one thing I’m certain, we have been blessed with incredible clients. Talented photographers, yes--but it goes beyond this. It’s funny how you can get to know somebody’s character simply by how they correspond through email. This was the case with Micah Gilmore…his humble, genuine, and lighthearted nature was evident immediately through his words, and it consistently shows up in his work.

Micah and his wife work together, and make quite the team. I’m certain it’s the love and appreciation they have for each other that makes this job so easy and fun for them…you notice the comfort and ease that they bring to their couples and the result is something wonderful. Their style rests somewhere between candid fun and trendy classic, often resembling something out of a Banana Republic magazine. Most importantly, they cater to the couple’s personality types and this is revealed with each photograph.

It has been a pleasure working with you, Micah and Christie! Thank you so much!!

Albumesque recently had the pleasure of designing an album for Micah that will give you a glimpse of their fun nature and talent. Enjoy the slideshow below! Also, be sure to check out his website and blog by clicking here!

NEW CLIENT | dylan mayer

Here at Albumesque, we truly are thankful for the amazing photographers that we get to work with day in and day out. I'm blown away with the photographs that I get to see everyday, but on top of that, we get to work with some of the sweetest photographers that truly make our job enjoyable. Dylan Mayer is not only a great photographer, an extremely kind man, but he's also just hilarious. I'm sure his brides have the time of their life when he's photographing them.

I'm excited that I had the chance to work with Dylan and honored to showcase his album design, featuring his beautiful work!!!!

This is the Le Simple design style, which I think fits his style perfectly! Enjoy!

ALBUMESQUE | new website

We're extremely excited to finally announce the launch of the New Albumesque website. You will find quick and easy access in ordering an album, step by step process that will take place when you're an Albumesque client, as well as new and updated designs. A team effort took place with the designing of the website but I have to give most of the credit to Emily, one of the amazing designers at Albumesque, who really designed the majority of the site and through her perfection made the site come to life. Emily, thank you for giving the site that beautiful, modern, edgy Emily flare:)

Most of the time designing or launching websites can be a NIGHTMARE but honestly I have to say that working with Showit Sites was such a joy. Not only was the program an extremely user friendly program but the customer service and people there were just awesome and made our experience an enjoyable one. A big thanks to Andrew and the rest of the Showit Team, we love you:)

Client: Dane Sanders : Just stunning

Albumesque has been designing for Dane Sanders for over two years now and it's truly been a honor working and getting to know him as a client and a friend. His photography is amazing and I always look forward to starting each design. He covers it all.... The details, fashion, portraits, and photojournalism. You name it, he's got it! Here's a recent design that I just finished for Dane. The images were just stunning and I really fell in love with this wedding.

I know I've mentioned this before but if you have the chance I would recommend taking a look at Dane's website. The beginning video makes me cry every time. So enjoy!

Dane it's been a pleasure!

New Client: Nicole Chatham

It's always a thrill to receive an album order from a new client. Better than that, though, is receiving the actual images that will make up the album! Patience is demanded as I allow the download process, as I often want to sneak a peak at the fresh array of photographs that await me. I'm happy to say they are almost always worth the wait! Most certainly proving true with one of our newest clients, Nicole Chatham!

Nicole Chatham, is an Austin, TX based wedding photographer who I recently had the pleasure of designing an engagement album for. The most difficult part in designing this album was deciding which images to use, because they all struck me with such awe! From location scouting to capturing emotion between the couple...Nicole is an incredibly gifted photographer. Along with that, she is extra kind and sincere! Visit her beautifully designed WEBSITE where you can check out more of her work and also hear a great song (given, she IS from the live music capital of the world--so her taste in fine music shouldn't be a shock)!! :)

Nicole chose the Le Mix style for this engagement album, which was a perfect fit. Simple, classic and strong-- images that tell their own story in every page. Enjoy the full album design here, with this slideshow!

I am so happy to be working with you, Nicole! It's truly been a pleasure! :)

Lovely Jasmine:)

This last week I designed an album for Jasmine Star, and again the images were just LOVELY:) If you've ever met Jasmine you know that her personality is just as lovely and wonderful, and you can't help but fall in love with her the moment you meet her.


Jasmine, working with you for the last two years have been amazing. I feel very thankful that our paths crossed, but I feel even more fortunate to have you as a dear friend.

Much love:)
Amy

ALBUMESQUE PROCESS - and more:)

One of most frequently asked questions that we receive is "how do I get started". Becoming an Albumesque client is extremely easy.

Also remember that you can e-mail us anytime with questions and we'll be more then happy to walk you through the process.

ALBUMESQUE PROCESS:

Ask yourself......... What's My Style!!!!!:)

What's your Style !!!!!!!!
While our hope is that you love and enjoy all of our designs, we understand that not everyone shares the same design preference. That is why Albumesque is happy to offer three different types of design styles, and we leave it to you to decide which one best fits your needs! So, what’s your style?

Le Simple
Some believe that less is more! Simple designs, simple borders--or no borders at all!...it’s your call! :) With no overlapping or layering, this classic design leaves lasting impressions.

Le Layer
Layers can be fun! This design option utilizes more complex layouts, creatively layering images and including fades. With the addition of colors and borders, you can add a whole new dynamic to your album!

Le Mix
Mix it up! For the indecisive, or for those who simply love the look of both! :) Le Mix is our "combination" design, offering elements from both Le Layer and Le Simple. With this design you will find overlapping, but no fades.

Le Layered Design Style

As many of you know, Albumesque offers three different design styles. Le Simple, Le Mix, and Le Layered. Our amazing designer Denise designs almost all of the Le Layered and she does an outstanding job with that type of style. I will try to post a few other Le Layered designs next week. Below is an album that she designed for Melissa Quijano. A photographer who we are so privileged and thankful to be designing for.

If you have any questions about the Le Layered designs you can e-mail

info@albumesque.com or amy@albumesque.com and someone will get back to you shortly.


Have a wonderful weekend!
