Destination Wedding Album | |
|
Wednesday 15th Sep 2010 |
Photographer Vanessa Pelletier recently hopped a plane to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to photograph a friend’s destination wedding. After the ceremony, she wanted to present them with an elegant wedding album. To capture the feel of the island, Vanessa chose a mango Kolo Newbury album and added a string of pearls through the binding. The wedding colors were yellow and coral, so the mango of the album complemented the carefully chosen professional luster prints, visually enhancing the story told throughout the album. To see more from Vanessa Pelletier, visit her website here. Also, check out Jen Jafarzadeh L'Italien’s Riva destination wedding album. -Kate |

Mini Travel Album | |
|
Tuesday 31st Aug 2010 |
Paislee Press blog editor Liz Tamanaha recently shared this album filled with pictures she compiled from her trip to Italy and Paris with her husband. Using a Kolo Riva album, she carefully designed each spread by selecting a picture of a place that they visited and then paired it with her favorite portrait taken at that landmark. The opening page of the album highlights a quote from T.S. Eliot, “The journey not the arrival matters.” I love how the pages in this album are designed. The individual matted window frames makes each page an instant work of art and pages are designed for ease of use - a regular 4x6 photo fits perfectly in the slots. -Kate |
