Whew!! With my new job wiping me out everyday, I barely have the time to do any of my scrapbooking and album picking.  My photographer finally sent me the PDF version of our wedding album. I was really excited to see the pages and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had added about 6 more pages than what was on our contract. We had a pretty good relationship with our photographer but that was so nice of him to allow me to ask for changes! I’m not sure how many photographers actually would allow that.

I had some suggestions for him on the first version of our album. For instance, for the stiff formal family pictures that you absolutely need to have, I wanted to have a faded background of this really crazy picture just for fun. I loved having a faded background instead of having it be plain black or white. Also, Mr. Caramel and I both really preferred black backgrounds instead of white.

I can’t really express how much I appreciate and recommend my photographer, he has been nothing but sweet and honest with the Caramels. It’s not just being a great photographer, but it’s also really about them wanting the best pictures possible for your special day. The process of wedding photography can be really aggravating with the wrong person, especially if you lack communication and end up with pictures that you didn’t like.

Some sample pages of the Caramel album:

Here are some examples of Before & After shots with my suggestions.

Before: (Boooring….but you need to have these pictures!)

After: (I loved showing what a crazy big family I have and also what a crazy day it was!)

Before: (I really wanted a fun looking album with our BMs & GMs and not have this page focus so much on the bride & groom)

Did anyone else ask for changes on their wedding album layouts?
