How to Choose Images for your Wedding Album

Sorting through hundreds of images from your wedding day to narrow down what will go in your album can be a daunting task. I know because I’ve been there! I had TONS of beautiful images that I was obsessed with from my wedding day. Some showed off the details of my wedding day and every time I look at those photos, I see a piece of myself with the vintage camera centerpieces, my mother with the handmade pieces of decor, my grandmothers with the lace doilies, vintage milk vases and old books, our dogs with the hanging photos and our cake topper and our lives scattered in every aspect of our wedding day. I see all of the hard work we put into planning that wedding. I see family members coming together for the first time in a long time. I see two different families joining. I see joy and happy tears and everything in between. How do I possibly choose from all of these important parts?...

How to Create a Favorite's List in your Online Gallery

Picture this - it’s six weeks after your wedding day and you get your USB with all of your wedding photos. Yay! You have hundreds of photos to browse through and all of your family and friends are dying to see them, too. While it’s great to have your wedding images on a USB for safe keeping, it’s not so great for letting everyone else see your photos. Of course, you can have a wedding photo viewing party with everyone - which sounds like a lot of fun! But unfortunately, that’s not always an option. So what do you do?!

I definitely don't want to give the guys the shaft, so grooms, this blog is for you. If you're wondering what's in it for you when choosing a wedding photographer, I want to share with you what being a Mae B Photo groom is like. So get comfy on the couch, grab a beer or a coffee and keep on readin'....

Paige and Cale's Formal Winter Engagement Session at The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio

From the second I met Paige, I knew we'd get along well! She has a sophisticated style and we share a love for great wine, so it was super easy to fall in love with her wedding plans and the two of them as a couple! I'm definitely an old soul and love anything classic, vintage and slightly over the top. I think I'll get all of those from Paige and Cale's 1920s glam wedding vibes. There will be ivory, midnight blue, burgundy and gold hues, flowers and lots of candlelight, not to mention the hint of ostrich feathers to really tie everything together and put that little extra wow factor in the details....
