Jennifer & Matt's Wedding Album

Jennifer and Matt got married a First Baptist of Fayetteville, GA. In designing their album, I wanted it to feel classic in much the way their entire wedding was: elegant and timeless. So I looked to some old books I had of my grandfather's. The linen cover, the way the photos sat ON the page (not printed on the page), and pictures trimmed with debossed silver lines were all characteristics of the cherished books handed down from generation to generation like these wedding albums will be.

I also wanted to use poetic type as a graphic element. I don't do this much in designing wedding albums because the pictures already do so much of the talking. But this one called for it. I'm very pleased with the result.

In much the same way old daguerreotypes were stored with handwriting on them, I "etched" the important time and place information on the introductory page.



I really like the simplicity of their album. This page in particular look like it should be viewed in an oak-paneled study with the fellas.




This is my favorite spread in the album (not just because I took the picture). Throughout the night, Matt kept looking at the ring on his finger in mystified satisfaction as if remembering and savoring the day–especially his vows. So I included them to the side.




In the end, these pages will be printed on linen pressed paper by a company in Italy. To see more pages, go to Dove website by clicking the link below.
