WOW! I absolutely LOVE this album. The black cover and amazing black pages (with different textures) and subtle color design elements really set off both the black and white photographs as well as the color images - especially with all the great red accents throughout. Christina and Evan, nice choices my friends! I wish you could all see this in person, but alas, the blog will have to suffice:
 

 
Christina's parents ordered almost the exact opposite of this album: cream cover, cream pages. It'll be really clean and fresh, and totally different. I'll definitely share that once it's ready, too!

In addition to the albums we also made some beautiful color and black and white Fine Art Prints, too. The black and whites were done on gorgeous German watercolor paper and also a metallic, glossy paper. Both have to be seen to really be appreciated, but they really emphasized the dramatic beauty of Christina and Evan's amazing Pasadena City Hall wedding. There's nothing better than presenting your wedding photographs in a way that set them apart as art that will last a lifetime (and then some!).

It took Jane and Brett quite a while to make their album image selections, but I'm excited that they now have a new family heirloom - a killer, 100 image custom wedding album! They kept the outside simple: black, one photo on the front, one photo on the back and no titles on the spine or cover. On the inside, they departed from tradition and went with the lighter feel of pastel pages chosen specifically to compliment any given page's photographs.
 

Brett's mom had us put together a nice little 20 image album for her, too. I love that she chose a totally different cover color because it would work better in her home this way:

It has been awesome working with you, Jane and Brett and I wish you guys nothing but happiness!

Christina and Evan's wedding was in beautiful Pasadena, CA. The Bride, Groom and their friends got prepared for the big day at The Westin Pasadena, which is walking distance from the amazing ceremony and reception site - Pasadena City Hall. The setting was incredibly romantic. What a day!

My wife and I just saw the new Indiana Jones movie, and the final scene of the movie was shot in a location that looked instantly familiar to me. I realized right away that it was the Fist Christian Church of North Hollywood where I photographed Jane and Brett's wedding last September.

Look familiar?

I know it's kind of silly, but growing up in the L.A. area and living nearby my entire life, I've always loved it when I recognize a location used in a movie or on TV.
