Loved meeting up with these two Artistrie faves to photograph their wedding album and new Artistrie wall art that we designed, assembled and installed. Everything turned out beautifully…

Happy Friday all! I’ve been staying busy with recent framing and matting projects and wanted to share some recent work with you guys. Last weekend, Team Artistrie (aka me and my recently retired dad) install 3 different wall displays. Here’s the behind the scenes details…

In the early years of my business, my packages always included the files, and though I offered more, clients rarely ever purchased an album or print through me. I (wrongfully) assumed that this is what they wanted, and that they would handle the rest on their own. It wasn’t until last year when a past client reached out to me and confessed that she had lost the digital files and regretted that she never made an album or even a single print from her wedding day. Imagine spending all that money on a professional wedding photographer, and then years later not having a single photo to show for it. And she isn’t the only one out there. This conversation honestly made me question if leaving clients with only the files was actually a disservice to them. The short answer to a long story is YES…

Another beautiful wedding album from Laura and Dave’s wedding last fall. Love these two and so happy with how their wedding album turned out. They selected an Alpine Luxe Leather cover (SO soft to touch!) which complimented their style. Enjoy, guys!

I love love love these Matted Albums. They’ve been a big hit in 2017 and I’m looking forward to using them even more next year. They are a perfect little coffee table album to show off a few of your favorite photos. Madeline and Alex put theirs to good use by including favorite photos from their Morton Arboretum engagement session last fall. It turned out beautifully!

If Annie and Ryan’s Lincoln Square pad isn’t the epitome of #dreamhome goals, I don’t know what is. I had the pleasure of catching up with these two after delivering their brand new wedding album. Reliving their winter Cafe Brauer wedding together was a treat. I might make home album deliveries a regular part of my process, because seeing their faces light up with every page turn melted my little wedding photographer heart…

Alie and Colin’s wedding album is in the office today and I love how it all came together! We selected a Luxe Leather (so soft it feels like SUEDE) in the color Chai. The earthy toned cover matched perfectly with these two nature lovers’ personal style

Lindsay and Tyler, it was so great catching up with you. Thanks for inviting me over to flip through your wedding album. Your new home is beautiful and I love seeing all the photos from your engagement and wedding day gracing your walls. 

Fresh from the printers, I have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR wedding albums in the office this week, and they couldn’t be more lovely! Annie & Ryan’s Cafe Brauer wedding was what winter dreams were made of, and these albums capture the magic of that day.
