A One of a kind wedding album!

We just had a presentation of a wedding album that was truly “One of a kind”! I had photographed Christen and Hartley’s wedding at Montaluce – but their photography coverage did not start there. The beginning: Christen’s mother had called me when she found out her daughter was going to be engaged and wanted me to capture that part of their story. The photography of the proposal was very special, as were the engagement parties, bridal shoot, rehearsal dinner and obviously the wedding day.

Next, we started the terrific project of putting their story together. Karen Casey is not only the mother of the bride but a top wedding consultant and a very creative, remarkable person. Christen and Hartley’s wedding has been published in multiple magazines and even won an Allie award, so their album had to be outstanding and very special. My graphic-designer cousin, Teresa, worked with Karen in designing the bride and groom’s story … this 84-page book is really a book!

Karen and her other daughter, Shanda, wrote a book about Christen and Hartley’s love story – Teresa designed it and we blended pictures with text and graphics into the most fantastic wedding book ever. The love-story album’s title is “And The Journey Begins” and features a table of contents, incredible design by Teresa Moreland, handcrafting by Azura Albums … and of course, there was great photography, naturally. Karen wanted to do a special unveiling ceremony, so a group of close friends and family met where it all began – Montaluce – and there was a presentation at the lake where their wedding ceremony took place. Then, we went to Karen and Mike’s beautiful home in the hilltops of Georgia’s Cleveland for a wonderful dinner. What a fitting celebration for truly the great beginning of a journey!
