A long post but full of insights! Andy Fountain explains how he and Lewis developed their unique style of wedding photography, how almost every coverage includes an album, and the pay-off for both their clients and the studio.

We got a call from the Bindery team, who were blown away by Erin from Acorn Photography's new sample album. After seeing it ourselves we knew we had to ask Erin if we could share it... "Chelsea and Kirk tied the knot with a beach wedding in Thailand,"   says Erin. "The day was filled with partying under palm trees, and dining on the beach.

A series about storytelling in album design. We turn the page in a wedding album… It's night time and we're at the reception. We turn another page… We're back outside the church in bright daylight! How confusing is that? Not only is the mood of the imagery completely different, the natural flow of the story is disrupted and any feeling of the 'journey' is lost.
