Magazine Style Wedding Albums

Magazine style wedding albums have become much more popular in recent years. All of our wedding packages include leather slip-in albums, and you also have the option of upgrading to a magazine-style album. If you've never seen a magazine-style album, here's a relatively simple example of a 2-page spread.

In effect your wedding album looks like a magazine; each page can have a number of photos in virtually any layout you choose. In the photo above, each "half" of the page is an 8 x 10 photo (pretend the gutter of the album runs down the center.)

We're happy to lay out and design your album, but unlike many wedding photographers we welcome your input and guidance. (After all, it is your album, so what's most important is that you love it.) Many of our couples go so far as to create PowerPoint mockup designs for us to use, while others simply write down the photos they want for each page.

We've created pages with over twenty photographs per page - the layout and design possibilities are limited only by your creativity. If you'd like to see a few other examples of magazine-style pages, click here to visit our Albums and Folders page at BlackBird Images.

Wedding Planning Resources

In the last months we've received a number of requests for wedding planning tips. (Since we've been to a ton of weddings, and we're not wedding planners, we assume the interest in our opinions stems from the fact we have no vested interest in any particular product or service.)


So, we've created a Resources section at BlackBird Images. There are three main categories: Wedding Planning Tips, Recommended Providers, and Photography Resources. The Wedding Planning Tips contains articles on Initial Steps, Ceremony Planning, and Reception Planning. The Recommended Providers page includes links to providers we have experience with and can wholeheartedly recommend. (We have no business or financial relationship with these providers - we were just impressed by them.) The Photography Resources page will contain articles on photographic techniques and equipment - when we get the time to write them.

If you want information on a particular topic, let us know - we'll be happy to provide our advice by phone or e-mail, and if it's on a topic with broad enough interest we may write an article to include in the Resources section.
