Wedding Memories

September 7th, 2011 @ 8:10 am by Mrs. Elephant

Our album and wedding video are in and they are AMAZING!!!

Part of our wedding package included an album for us and one for each set of parents. After seeing the pictures on our online gallery, I knew we would end up adding a couple of additional pages to our album. Our fabulous photographer Lynn mentioned that our wedding, with all of its details, would look pretty awesome in a unique 20 x 8 flipbook style and after seeing a couple of layouts we agreed and upgraded.

We debated between green and brown for the cover, even put it to a vote on Lynn’s blog. As you can see green won out (which is what we were leaning towards from the beginning).

The title page will always remind me of reading Mr. E’s book while getting ready. We love all of the different layouts Lynn and Vivie designed for our album.

But my favorites are the full page layouts. Maybe that is also because they are my favorite pictures, so seeing them in 20 x 8 size just makes me smile.

I love how thick the pages are, as well as how they lay flat.

I’m a big fan of the metal cover! I couldn’t figure out how to get the best shot, but I think you can kinda tell from this one.

And just for comparison, here’s the album with little Gypsy. It’s longer and heavier than she is, not that that is very difficult since she is less than 10 pounds.

It must have been the weekend to relive our wedding because we also received our video montage! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve watched this thing more than a handful of times. It’s kinda cute how nervous Mr. E was when he was reciting his vows.

Will you be getting an album with your wedding pictures? Is it included in your package, or will you DIY one? Did you have your vows recorded on video (by a videographer or family/friend)?

All photos of the album are personal. Pictures in the album are from Lynn Michelle

Can I have one too? :) :) That’s beautiful!

I would love an album, but because we might be cross-continentally moving for a few years we are trying not to increase our worldly possessions too much at the moment.

First off, I’m a HUGE Michael Buble fan so I love the start of your video! I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face watching it. Such an amazing job. I have never seen a wedding album like yours - so cool and unique!

I love your video. I’m going to go back to your budget recap and figure out how much that cost to see if I can afford one! I like the video a lot because it’s a good combination of long recordings with audio and short little montage clips. I thought it was sweet how nervous Mr. Elephant was during his vows & how emotional you were during yours. Great to have recorded!

Thank you everyone!!

@Miss White Pearl: Yeah, the metal cover is pretty awesome :)

@CurlyRN: Thank you so much! You’re so sweet. Hearing the vows, and where I try to hold back from losing it gets me every time I watch it.

@xtatic1: Thanks, Gypsy uses that cuteness often to get more treats when she’s with my parents.

Thanks so much for sharing your video. I love watching wedding videos on Vimeo, but it was especially neat watching yours because you’ve allowed us to share in your journey with us.
Everything was beautiful and I even teared up a bit!
Your videographers did a great job of showing all the emotion of the day and managed to get all your beautiful details you’ve worked so hard on!
