It's becoming increasingly clear that our friend, photographer Kelli Taylor, is a chocolaholic. Well, maybe not addicted to the cocoa confection so much, but certainly to the color chocolate of Kolo's cloth-album color palette. We've already seen a couple of Kelli's album projects on Koloist, but this one is especially rich. It's easy to see why she's hooked on chocolate-- just look at how beautifully the color sets off the photographs in this gorgeous wedding album that she made:

Friends of ours were married in England this past fall, so our gift to them was a wedding album and photo CD book. The album I used was a chocolate Kolo Newport 8.5 x 11 loaded with soft white cloth-hinged sheets, adorned with varying widths of brown paper strips. I included photos I took at their wedding; shots from the professional photographer; their wedding invitation, program, and readings (photoshopped onto mirror images of the church steeple); envelopes holding the best man's, groom's, and mother of the bride's speeches; and the bow from the top tier of their wedding cake. We also burned all of their wedding photos to CDs and presented them in a chocolate Kolo Cortina CD album.

The brown stripes are actually just strips of paper (from Paper Source) that I cut into varying widths.  I used a ruler and paper cutter to make sure the top and bottom strips were always even.  I'm usually not big on embellishments, but was pleasantly surprised by these.  The stripes are clean and geometric enough to help the pictures pop, rather than detracting from them.

Another shot of this album appeared in a Koloist post recently here, and you can see even more at Flickr.
