Wedding Album for a Parisian Wedding

Simply a stunner of a wedding album for a beautiful Parisian wedding! Ashley & Steve’s wedding was a wonderfully regal affair with a small number of family and friends joining them in the heart of Paris. The ceremony took place in the Shangri La hotel followed by dinner in La Tour D’Argent.

They chose a Tuscany leather album in the chic Marine blue from my Dreambooks Album range which perfectly fit their wedding theme as the bride wore a stunning deep blue dress. The Tuscany leather has a wonderful natural texture which results in an opulent and classic looking wedding album…perfect for their majestic wedding style. A Nogal Wood Box topped with a matching Tuscany Leather lid complemented the album. An elegant finish was achieved by engraving their names on the cover.

The wedding album design layout was in a mix of my Fresh and Stylish styles. The Fresh style uses white space and borders to keep things simple and elegant and we used the Stylish style on some spreads to really show off certain photos, especially those with views of the magnificent Parisian landscape and the Eiffel tower. Who wouldn’t want to show that off if it featured in the background of their wedding photos?!

THE WEDDING ALBUM INTRO

The first page of the wedding album acts as an introduction; to set the stage for the wedding story. For Ashley & Steve’s album, I selected two images that work together and convey the essence of their special day. Naturally, given it’s a Parisian wedding, there just had to be a photo featuring the iconic Eiffel Tower. It was a majestic backdrop for a portrait photo of the newlyweds and the black and white version lends an air of elegance to the spread. In perfect contrast to this, I added an image of their stationary featuring their Itinerary. The deep blue and gold depicts their wedding colour scheme and gives an insight into their celebrations.

WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - A MOMENT IN SEQUENCE

This wedding album spread is dedicated to the bride and her daughter in a special quiet few moments once they’re prepped and ready. There were several sequential images so we chose four for balance which fit like a glove in a stunning strip layout across the open spread. As well as framing the muted colors of the images, the white space border also enhanced the spectacular royal blue dress worn by Ashley.

WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - THE CEREMONY

It can be a challenge when dealing with wedding ceremony photos…. There are usually so many moments captured, it’s about striking the correct balance between them to convey the ambience of the ceremony. In this particular spread, I decided to keep it concise and feature just four images primarily focusing on the bride and groom. There was a striking portrait of Ashley which definitely need showcasing and I bookended it with another beautiful photo of both Ashley & Steve on the opposite page. A smaller image of their daughter perched on the shoulders of a guest alongside another shot of the couple from a different angle was added for balance and created the feel of an intimate moment shared between the family.

WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - THE EIFFEL TOWER

What a backdrop for your newlywed portrait photos! There was an array of stunning images featuring the iconic Eiffel Tower behind A&S and I handpicked two of them for this wedding album spread. With the tower dominating the image, I made sure each photo filled the page, as A&S were dwarfed by it – any smaller and you would barely be able to see them. With a third image interspersed between the first two, I introduced a close up of the couple in timeless black and white, with the beautiful Parisian architecture in the background for contrast. There is no doubt about where their wedding took place!

WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - BLACK AND WHITE FOCUS

There’s something undeniably stunning about a black and white wedding album spread, don’t you think? Black and white photographs have a unique way of highlighting intricate details, and in this case, the two shots of A&S against the backdrop of Parisian architecture contained a beautiful balance between the couple and their surroundings. However, when you have just two images spanning an entire album spread, placing them to the edges of both pages can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. To strike a balance, I framed one of the photos with a white border. This simple touch provided just the right amount of separation between the images, so they both shine through individually whilst still working well together.

WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - WEDDING IN PARIS

When your wedding takes place in the romantic heart of Paris, you absolutely have to capture the city’s charm into your wedding album. This particular spread is a testament to that sentiment, featuring a series of portrait photos capturing A&S amongst the Parisian ambience, complete with rain, while Steve found a moment of quiet contemplation. All four images were in portrait orientation, which naturally lent itself to a strip layout. The photo taken on the banks of the Seine with the river flowing behind was a perfect feature image as it’s light background blended seamlessly into the white space of the page and allowed the foreground images to stand out on their own.

THE FINAL WEDDING ALBUM SPREAD - DINNER

Now is the time to relax and celebrate with family and friends! A&S’s wedding was a fairly intimate affair with a select few loved ones joining them at the amazing La Tour D’Argent restaurant. I wanted this album spread to capture the ambience of their evening celebration so I included several posed portraits of the newlyweds looking relaxed and happy interspersed with images that set the scene of the evening. The design, I kept to a clean and simple collage style layout with emphasis on one pivotal background image featuring the beautifully adorned table. This sets the scene and immerses you in the room whilst not distracting from the several foreground photos.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!
