Custom Handmade Wedding Album Covers!

I'm always looking for new and elegant products for my brides and wanted to share my latest discovery!

 Wisconsin-based designer Kelley Grace Quakkelaar custom made these for me.

This traditional  black and cream paisley design has a contrasting cream pattern inside.

I found Kelley, owner of Gracie Designs, on the Etsy website and had her make these specifically to fit my album dimensions.  She's delightful and so easy to work with.  If you're a textile junkie like me, you'll enjoy just looking at all the beautiful fabric designs online.

If you already have an album, it's not too late...she can make one for you!  Click on the photo below for a close-up detail view.

I also like modern geometric designs and the one below reminded me of so many strings of pearls.

I'm glad I received them in time for the upcoming Bridal Show this weekend at Woodstone Country Club.  (January 30 & 31st from 12-4PM)

Stolen Kisses in a Timeless Place

What a magical place to photograph a wedding and to start the New Year!  Tucked away in Easton's Historic District, The Bank Street Annex is a place that, apparently, time has forgotten.  The building was once The Easton National Bank and was rebuilt in 1929 with an art deco design.  The 40-foot ceiling and balconies on either side of the main floor make this a dramatic space.  The bride's dress looked like it was from another era and the DJ, Robert Hallinan, played some 'vintage' tunes to enhance the effect.

I was delighted to see my friend, Audrey Simons, performing with the other members of the talented ensemble called Mes Amis Strings.

I'm really looking forward to photographing here again this summer.
