Category — Wedding Album Design
What trends are you seeing in 2010?
The photojournalistic style of photography is still going strong.
This stylized wedding album design style is not going anywhere soon. In fact boundaries are being pushed with unusual locations, grungy looks and urban settings, traditional poses are no longer the norm. Whoever would have thought a few years ago that “Trash the Dress” would become so popular!
Simplicity still has it’s place
Rather then stiff formal poses, informal casual shots are being requested and asked for. Who would rather see Grandma with a big smile and enjoying herself rather then the forced one that often is the result of formal posed images.
Detail shots – rings, flowers, kids, shoes, dress – can’t forget these! The detail shots are important!
We also see that a modified traditional style photography is making a resurgence. With today’s digital flush mount albums you have the opportunity to use a more traditional style of photography while still projecting a contemporary look & feel.
Black & White images
From the images we receive for album designs we see a trend of incorporating even more black and white images. By taking away the color the heart of the image seems to stand out, special moments in black and white make a huge impact on the design of the album.
Does location affect trends?
Absolutely! We see and hear it all the time in talking with our customers. What is hot here in Tualatin, Oregon probably is not in LA or NY or at the very least the same trend but with a new twist.
How do you stay on top of trends?

January Product Spotlight – White Space Album

The White Space album is a fine art book that takes storytelling to the next level, and just as the name implies, it reminds you that less is more.
In the world of wedding album design, the White Space has been a breath of fresh air. With 4 cover sizes to choose from, the unique rectangle formats of 20×8, 17×8, 16×10 and 10×16 add impact to your design that will be remembered.
Inspired by not only by the work of, but also in working with Sallee Photography, this album was introduced in late 2008. Shortly after, the Sallee’s won 1st Place & the Grand Award Album at the 2009 WPPI convention.

The white pages and linen textured mats add an elegant touch to any album you design. Add drama by using flush mounted images to highlight special moments and events.
The covers are available in Metallon, Acrylic, Eclipse, Leather, Stitched and more. Click here to see the material selections available.
