    Lynne, this is beautiful!!
    I'm in the process of making two albums and will try the Album DS software. Who are you using to create the albums? Which album style do you prefer?

    Aw, thanks! spread 3 originally had many more (beautiful!) images of Emily but in the end I went with "less is more" so I'm glad it works for you!

    The closing image is lacking a lot technically (distortion, anyone?) but I like using those types of shots to give things a finished feeling of "happily ever after" (or EG - the honeymoon night begins!) :)

    Thanks for commenting!

    Thanks Mitchell!

    Personally I like Millers Flush Mount Panoramas. Very reasonable, lightning fast and painless to order.

    Just set your Album DS settings to 10x20 (or whatever spread size) at 250 dpi, with a 3/8 bleed and voila!

    Good luck!

    Wow, thanks Kinkajou & Shima! I wonder sometimes if they are "too" minimalist as I don't use borders even, but appreciate the feedback.

    I don't think so... these are "simple yet elegant" in design lynn and that echos how you shoot (in my eyes). I am curious about a couple things though. What made you choose to do the two white backgrounds? I couldn't really see a rhyme or reason for it so I am curious of your thought process there. Other comment is the one thing I see that strikes me as being a little out of place in spread 11. The left background area feels empty to me and I wonder why you didn't stretch the background from the right that way, or bring the montage closer to the left edge. Not trying to beat up on you Lynn! This is beautiful work... both the images and the design work. I especially like the image on the right of spread 5... Love the wide perspective in that one, and how the stair rail splits the common area from the pose-able staircase. Most people would have shot that tighter.

    Spread 9 bottom left image, is it meant to go to the edge? The others don't.

    I really like to simple yet a good story telling design. I do have a different opinion about page 3 than most responses here. To me the middle image of the bride on the stairs does work well with the spread. It's a great image, but not for this page. The color and composition does not fit well with two other images. I think this would be a stronger spread without it.

    Overall, I think you did a great job and I like the album.

    I like the cleanliness...and no fuss of the layouts.thumb.gif


    The ceremony shots (8 and 9) show the sanctuary to have some scrumptious natural light.....and it appears you really used it to an advantage. Great backlit shots!!!thumb.gif

    The shots on #3 are beautifully lit as well. Very Nicemwink.gif
