Accordion Books For Your Wedding Photos

I get so excited when I have the opportunity to offer my clients great new products. Like, REALLY excited! The whole idea behind the wedding experience I offer is to not only get beautiful imagery but also to be able to give my brides and grooms incredible artwork to display in their home. I will admit that albums are my absolute favorite product I offer and they make the most beautiful coffee table book. Canvas wraps and wall displays have been in second place on my favorites list up until now. The new competitor in my product line up is a 4x8 accordion book and ya'll, I'm obsessed!

Often times we forget how important it is to do something for ourselves, and this shoot was purely for adventure, collaboration and really to take advantage of the last of the warm, glowy Fall light before the cold, winter air made its way into Ohio...
