Album Delivery Day – Alicia & Jay | ZumaPhoto

To some, a wedding album is simply a collection of photos. For us and our clients, however, the album represents the culmination of an ardent vision. Months to years of planning and sweating of details on the part of our clients; one compressed and emotionally charged day; countless hours shooting, editing, retouching, interpreting and designing our images of that day – all come together into the ultimate presentation of the memories that all that effort forged – the album.

At ZumaPhoto, the delivery of an album is the one time where all work stops and we take a moment to gather together in appreciation of the results of our efforts.

Today we’d like to share just a peek of our latest creation with you – the album of Alicia & Jay.

Over the years we’ve used many MANY different album binderies, and each has had its charms. But our current bindery not only produces the highest quality albums that I’ve ever seen, but also offers the widest selection of cover styles. We designed a cover for Alicia and Jay that maintains a perfect balance balance between classical elegance and forward thinking fashion (just like Zuma!)

Its just plain GORGEOUS!

Our albums are delivered wrapped in this beautiful presentation made from all recycled materials.

Here she is…

The cover material is this amazing gold metallic osterich leather with coppery eyelets.

The inset image of their first dance – one of their favorites – was toned to compliment the tones of the leather.
Now, it helps that Alicia is a Greek beauty and that Jay is a professional soccer player (GOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!!)

Fit and finish quality of these albums is absolute perfection – astounding for a hand-mand product.

As one option, an absolute lay-flat binding may be specified.

On to a couple of our favorite spreads…

Jay is just a stud.  That’s all there is to it.  In his tux he looked like a young Clark Gable.
All of this would be really annoying if he didn’t have such an easy (and a little goofy) sense of humor.  ;)

I was very touched (and a little sheepish) that Alicia & Jay insisted on including an image of me in their album.
I am honored and humbled when a client tells me that they consider me an intergral part of their wedding memories. Thanks guys!

OK, that’s all you guys get to see – the rest is for Alicia and Jay!
