Scarlett Lillian Review /// Trisha & Hub's wedding album from Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort

I love getting happy emails like this from my brides:






With the excitement of Trisha's email, I couldn't help but showcase a few photos I took of their beautiful album from their gorgeous wedding at Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort.

Sara & Andrew's Wedding Album!

A wedding day isn't complete until all the photos come together to tell the story of the day in one of my beautiful wedding albums! I was excited to get Sara & Andrew's in the mail and relive their wedding day all over again. This 94-page album is one that is hard for me to let go of, I love it so much, but I can't wait for Sara & Andrew to get it for Christmas! They also got a parent album for Sara's mom. I still will never forget how her mom dressed up Mamma Mia and surprised Sara at the reception!




Here's a slideshow of their final design!

Shayla & Kyle's album from their Mansion on Forsyth Park wedding in Savannah, Ga.!

When I got this album in the mail today, it was a workout to pick it up! This gorgeous 100-page album must weigh about 20 pounds. It's absolutely gorgeous, but yes, I'm a little biased. It was fun to relive Shayla & Kyle's hot pink wedding at the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah, Ga.

Here's a peek at their album!

Alexis & Gerardo's Artbook Album!

Alexis and Gerard were just a beautiful couple from the inside out, and their new Artbook Album turned out just as beautiful! Rather than the thick flushmount pages, they opted for a smaller thinner Artbook similar to what I use for Engagement Guestbooks. The glossy pages really made the images pop that much more!

Here's a sampling of how their album turned out and the page design in a slideshow below!

Sarah & Caryn's Albums!

So many beautiful albums arriving in the mail lately! Both Sarah & Caryn got my biggest and best album, a 10x15 with 90 pages a piece! They also got accompanying parent albums. Sarah will be surprising her mom with the parent album, and Caryn, a dentist, wanted an extra copy to share with her patients in her office! Parent albums are such a great addition for so many purposes!

It's always so hard for me to let go of each gorgeous album, but it's definitely my favorite part of the wedding experience, providing my beautiful brides with the complete album of their love story!

Here's Caryn's album with an Armor metal cover and Pumpkin leather to match her wedding colors!







And Sarah had a bright yellow beach wedding. She went with a gloss canvas cover and yellow leather for her parent album!

Tara & Robbie's album!

Oh, I just love when new albums come in the mail! There was a slight delay in getting Tara and Robbie's album design done because she found out she was pregnant sooner than expected. But it's been fun to relive their September 2007 wedding all over again. It was my first wedding at Jekyll Island Club and working with the oh so fabulous Terrica of Fabuluxe Events. And the wedding ended with a bang with a live firework show!

Here's their wedding album and the full design below! And I love the red leather binding material that matched perfectly their wedding colors!




And the design....

Cara & Drew's album!

The most rewarding part of being a wedding photographer is giving each couple the gift of their wedding album when all is said and done. As an artist, it is fulfilling seeing the art I created coming together in one place to tell each couple's story, but for the couple, Cara couldn't have said it any better:

"Scarlett!

You are unbelievable! I just got done looking through our wedding album for like the 100th time since I've been home for like an hour. It is sooo incredible and I love it so much. It is like re-living each moment of our wedding every time you turn the page. You are the greatest and I am so glad you were such a huge part of our wedding day. Getting the album is kind of like coming full circle from the beginning of the entire planning process and I want you to know that you were one of the only things throughout the entire wedding planning that I WASN'T worried about. From day one you were so professional and understanding that I knew you were going to be a constant in my whirlwind of wedding planning. THANK YOU for that, from the bottom of my heart. Your wonderful Scarlett and we appreciate you so much.
Love,
Cara (and Drew too!)"

Sniff sniff. Her words above are why I do what I do. I feel so honored to serve in each couple's life through documenting their precious day and providing them their beautiful keepsake coffee table album.

Here's a few pics I grabbed of their album before I shipped it off and their album design below!








And the slideshow....

New Engagement Guestbook and Coffee Table Album!

It's like Christmas to me when a new album comes in the mail, and today I got TWO in the mail! I love the unwrapping of the box, then folding back of the tissue paper to unveil, oila, my client's albums that hold my photography! I think I get just as excited as my brides do holding their photos in my hands! Because I outsource my print fulfillment to the fabulous Pictage.com, it's rare that I see my photos printed out, unless I get an album order in the mail. As an artist, it's those kind of moments I love, seeing all my hardwork pay off in a beautiful showcase of my couple's love story!

First I got Caryn and Jonathan's Guestbook just in time for their wedding next weekend. Guestbooks have all the couple's favorite shots from the engagement session, leaving space throughout the pages for the guests to write personal messages vs. the typical one line sign of the name. It's always funny to see how guests get even more creative with this toward the end of the night if you know what I mean. ha!

Here's some shots of their album!

Then I also got Debbine and Mike's final coffee table album in the mail. It turned out so beautiful!!
















Here's their album design!

Caryn & Jonthan's Engagement Guestbook

I just ordered this awesome Engagement Guestbook for Caryn and Jonathan! This is always a big hit at weddings for guests to sign throughout their photos and leave messages rather than a one-line siganture.

I just loved how Caryn and Jonathan's book turned out. She is also printing out a lot of black and white photos from the session to place around the reception area to go along with her "old Hollywood" theme! I so can't wait to see how it all comes together!

Rob & Claudette's Album!

I love love love when I get new albums in the mail. As a photographer, it's exciting to see all my work come together in one place to tell the love story of my couple's wedding day. As a guest at the event, it's exciting to relive the event all over again through the flush mount pages. As a new friend of the bride and groom, it's exciting to know I am giving them a moment in history that they will cherish for their lifetime and generations beyond.

Rob and Claudette had a beautiful beach wedding at Serenata Beach Club. Their album came in the other day and I just had to show it off!

Sarah & Brian's Guestbook

It's always fun to see the photos from an engagement session or wedding come together in an album to tell the story of the day. Sarah & Brian ordered a Guestbook for their wedding from their fun engagement photos we took a few weeks ago. It's a great way to show off your photos to your guests while leaving them space to sign to you personal messages around the photos, rather than a one line sign of their name in average guestbooks.

Just wanted to share the final design for brides who are considering this option!

AFTER THE WEDDING:
Here's how they presented it at the wedding during their cocktail hour:
