How to Choose an Album- or not.

So For the past year I have printed my wedding photo-books through Blurb.

To all those newbies out there- learn from my mistakes. Do not use a photo book company to print your wedding albums. It just looks…cheap.

So yea.

It is time to put my big-girl panties on and move to a full-fledged, lay-flat, leather bound, smell-expensive  ALBUM COMPANY.

Here are the Contenders:

Option #1: 

Diversified Lab- at divlab.com Looks legit, and very reasonable for a 11×14 album. Album would end up costing me aprox $180.

Option #2:

Asukabook.com Aside from the fact that their name sounds like “A Sucky book” they seem pretty darn legit. Owned by Kubota (the famed producers of Kubota Photoshop Actions which I envy and adore) they are so Pro they aren’t even open to the public. That or they are super elite and arrogant. Not sure which. Don’t worry, I will leave no rock unturned in discovering their true identity. Anxiously awaiting my registration to go through I have no idea what their albums will cost. May $30 maybe $3,000. I’m rooting for the former.

Option #3:

Mpixpro – has a cool homepage, I’ll admit. Very creative. Something some of these other album companies could use a little help with. I like the sizing options here…again a “sign in” to find pricing…here we go again. But VERY fast processing. That’s a plus.

 

 

Option #4:

My solo Cut and Paste Project. I make a cardboard cover and print out the images at Costco. Little glue and snip-snip…voila! I’m liking the sound of this. Maybe for the eco-bride?

….and there goes my credibility. ;P

Further research is obviously needed. I will proceed into the album world with confidence and courage!!!

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. 

WE ARE SOULMATES

WHY we're the perfect match

"Christa, you are such a delight to work with. You bring so much energy and direction to a photo shoot. The photographs you take, are truly a reflection of your talent and passion in photography."

"Christa is incredible. She really gets to know you, makes you feel comfortable and takes fabulous photos. Christa took our engagement photos, did a boudoir photo shoot for kate and did our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her.

"Christa is professional, fun, creative and in touch with her clients. She makes everyone look and feel beautiful. We could not be happier with her and her work."

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out! 
 Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Cassie & Jed

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
