Your clients were eager to get their album, maybe they even pre-paid for it, but after the wedding you don't hear from them. Maybe they don't reply to your calls. What can you do? Here are some suggestions to keep things moving along! Don't be surprised After the big day, real life sets in. No wonder you slip down the to-do list.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and who’s to argue … but if so what are a hundred photographs worth? With a hundred photos you can really tell a story — but there’s only one way to do it. Not in an online gallery — that’s a data dump, not a story. Not on a thumb drive — a data dump in a drawer!

Only in an album can you transform a set of images into a narrative. To View More >>

A long post but full of insights!

Bevin and Chris also opted for a copy album, great for parent albums and handbags! "Their To View More >>
