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 for the parent album. You can learn more about Zookbinders online at www.zookbinders.com.
When couples choose Zookbinders’ albums, I offer two options for parent albums. One is a duplicate of the main ZookBook, but in a smaller size, and the other is a new product called the PhotoBook. The PhotoBooks feature hard linen covers with wrap-around dust jackets that are custom designed from a photo. Since the cover isn’t a premium leather, the books are less expensive — and you can get a really unique cover to boot. Here’s the front of their parent book:
So the right hand side of the image will be what you see on the front of the book. The spine will be in the middle of the image, and the back of the cover will be the left side of the image.
Here’s a random spread from the inside of the album that utilizes a similar shot.
These two were fun. They called me in mid-September to inquire about shooting their intimate wedding in Aspen that was 2 or 3 weeks away. Their guest count was a total of four — four of their closest friends. Elitia was going to fly out from Denver but her flight was canceled due to a storm, so she had to drive all the way to Aspen in a hurry. She made it in time and they had a cool ceremony in the Hotel Jerome. We all cruised around downtown Aspen afterward, and Elitia, psyched for anything, just braved the snow in her dress. She didn’t even want Joe’s jacket because she didn’t want it in her pictures. Brrrr! I was sporting a down parka!
