Preserving your memories with a Wedding Album
Even with my career as a photographer, I find myself lacking in physical copies of the moments that are most important to me. They’re on my Instagram account, my facebook page, and of course, the pictures are safe… but more times than not they’re not present. I’m not surrounded by the smiles of days past the way that I could be, and this year I’ve been on a mission to change this. It started with making a HUGE print from one of my business’s greatest achievements right above my desk.
Now every day before I start my day I’m reminded of that moment, what it meant for me to be there, and what it felt like as my heart raced as the music of my favorite band surrounded me and healed my then weary soul.
The moment above lasted 1/320 of a second and then vanished in time, and that’s not uncommon for most of the people and things that I have the honor to document. I’ve had the honor to take the last picture of a lot of people, and know that little moments of them in time will matter for years to come. When a loved one passes, people don’t come to me asking me to post something on facebook… they ask for a print… for a small piece of that loved one that they can carry with them as life continues.
On your wedding day, in the middle of all those on this planet that mean the most to you and you make promises that are not entered into lightly. You spent months, maybe even years planning this day, and it was filled with emotions, moments, and memories that should surround you for a lifetime. I took an outside look into those beloved 24 hours and documented every piece of that that I could and placed it in a timeless fashion for you to share with generations to come.
It’s time to get that story on paper.
Shay Series Albums are designed to bring the punch of your images into print and allow you to relive the entire story when you’re least expecting it. All albums are printed on quality E-Surface Photographic paper to emphasize every detail.
The Shay Signature Album (Starting at $999) includes your choice of an Acrylic or metal Cover to highlight your favorite image from the day. With the image printed directly onto the metal or acrylic, this book looks almost as sharp as you.
Like the rest of this book, the pages are designed to hold up for generations. Every page is fashioned onto a quality substrate, which comes standard in all albums.
In addition to The Signature Album, The Standard Album(Starting at $499) comes with 20 pages, and your choice of leather or linen cover. Printed on the same quality paper, mounted to the same substrate, this may not be as much of an eye-grabber as The Signature, but it will tell your story all the same.
All albums include a personalized design consultation and optional online review before final printing.
Your wedding album is an investment, something you only purchase once, and with quality being key an heirloom like this, the budget can become a factor. Custom payment plans are available for wedding albums and customized albums for smaller budgets are also available for purchase.
