Don't let those gorgeous wedding photos get stuck in a drawer. Weddings take a lot of work. Planning, prepping, and packing for the big day, wear us out. The festivities themselves are wonderful and amazing…and also a bit tiring. Honeymoon travels afterward require another big round of energy and focus. Despite our best intentions, sometimes when the planning and celebrating and traveling are all over, we poop out. Sometimes it's easy to procrastinate things like preserving dresses, pressing flowers, writing thank yous, and organizing photos.

I have two time and energy saving ideas for you for organizing your wedding photos.

First, consider having your favorite (or favorites) printed as a wedding canvas gallery wrap. A canvas gallery wrap showcases your photo on a stretched artist's canvas. It's a fantastic way to create fine art from what will be one of the most memorable days of your life. Your heirloom canvas print is contemporary, attractive, and keeps the focus on the moment (not on the hardware). Plus it's easy. No frames, no fuss: It comes ready to hang.

A second option is a Photo Journalistic Story Album. I still offer prints; but I really love putting these treasures together for you. Organizing and displaying a lot of prints takes time and energy. When you're short on that after a big wedding event, those prints can collect dust. The album is a great option. It's totally customizable. You'll have a variety of shapes and sizes, materials, colors and styles to choose from. I love the elegance and personality of a quality album and know you'll enjoy displaying it on your coffee table.

These are all things you'll want to discuss in an initial consultation. A few simple selections beforehand will ensure you receive gorgeous new art that arrives ready and complete. No fuss! That leaves you to the business of building a new life together.

I'd love to photograph your beautiful wedding. Contact me to set up a consultation.
