Weddings Worldwide Since 2006Inside the Album, Part IV
This post will be about the ZookBinders PhotoBook, which I think is the absolute perfect book to use for parent albums or for turning your engagement images into a signing book for your reception. Here, we'll meet a few parent albums, both of which were mini versions...
Inside the Album, Part III
Here's another tour through another ZookBook so you can get an idea of the available variety. This album, Megan and Andy's, has a more traditional feel to it compared to Elitia and Joe's book, but it's still got the contemporary coffee-table feel on the inside. Megan...
Inside the Album, Part II
I figured I'd continue the Inside the Album blog posts with a post about mypublisher.com and iPhoto photo books, which are made by the same company. All my packages come with a rights-released CD, so you can opt to make one of these books. The upside is they're really...
Inside the Album, Part I
I got quite a few responses to a blog post a few weeks ago about wedding albums and album design, so I figured I'd write up a virtual tour through several wedding albums and parent albums. In this edition of Inside the Album, I'm going to focus on the Zookbook, made...
Beware of dog
If I were a dog, I'd want to be my dog. He's just that rad. Flying through the air dressed in a jacket, pouncing on big dogs. Alicia thinks he looks like a bat, while I think he looks like a Gremlin, the kind with those huge ears after you spill water on them....
Brides Magazine Photo Contest
Hoooray! I just found I had an image place in the first ever Brides Magazine photo contest. Here's a link to the contest. This pic here scored 8th place in the dancing category. Big honor! National contest in a national magazine, judged by at least 3 Pulitzer...
Horse pics awards
Would have posted this on my editorial site, http://www.nathanweltonphoto.com, but I don't have a blog there, so I'm posting it here. Just got the results from the 2007 American Horse Publications awards ceremony, which covered all stories and photos published in...
Awesome feedback
Wow, this is just beyond cool. I got an email recently from Lara, whose wedding I shot over Labor Day in California. In it was a message from her mom. It's about a zillion pages long, but here are some excerpts... This thing made my day! Here's a slideshow from their...
Zookbinders PhotoBooks for Parent Albums
Here's another option for folks trying to figure out what to do about their album and parent albums. It can be difficult with so many choices, so I wanted to show what Elitia and Joe decided on: they made the Zookbinders Zookbook for their main album and the PhotoBook...
Wedding Album Season
Happy Turkey Day! Hope everyone's doing well. It's album design time and I've been putting together albums and albums and albums and albums. Here's one I figured I'd post so you all can get a sense of what they're like. This one's from Amy and TJ's wedding this past...
Window Ninja 101
Sorry, more dorky house maintenance stuff. I'll try to keep it to a minimum! A few days ago we had 20 windows in our living room, which was annoying. And then we started putting them in, and things got even more annoying. I'm surprised I can type right now given the...
Home sweet home
Straying from the wedding and portrait theme lately, but hey, I think this stuff is cool. 🙂 Our home! First, something with big paws and big claws visited us the other night -- we think it was a bear trying to get into the hot tub for a soak. Notice the claw marks on...
Rooaaaadd Triiipp!
Yes! About time! We've been meaning to go to Indian Creek and Penitente Canyon for months, and we finally did a few weeks ago. The usual suspects consisted of me and Alicia, Toots, 5 crazy Norwegians (two of whom are good friends we met in New Zealand) and a Canadian...
Convict Lake Wedding, Mammoth, CA
What a great way to end the season: at Steph and Scott's wedding at Convict Lake, on the east side of the Sierras just outside of Mammoth. Totally awesome wedding, despite it being rainy all day. Not that it mattered much -- I think everyone had a rockin' good time. I...
Toots almost gets owned by a deer!
So we're trying to clean up a guest bedroom on a windy, cold Saturday when we hear Toots throwing a hysterical fit outside. He's ADD to begin with, so when he gets fixated on something, well, beware. This time he couldn't take his eyes off of a huge deer on the other...
