New Queensberry Albums

Amelia — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 16:41:37 +0000

Things have been really busy this fall. Since the weather here in Central Texas is so great, everyone wants to get married this time of year. I’ve had the honor of photographing some really sweet weddings, of which I promise to post some highlights of very soon. Chris and I bought a new (old) house, so I’ve also been coordinating the move, as well as some renovations. So, blogging had dropped a little on my priority list. I’ve been cranking out albums to clients and have had some STUNNING Queensberry albums come through the office, so I thought I would post some pics of them. I’ve been using Queensberry Albums for over 5 years and cannot preach enough good things about the quality, craftsmanship and beauty of them. Just click on the Queensberry section above (under categories) to read and see more pics of ones we’ve designed. I know I have not been posting as much as usual, but I promise to bring you more weddings, portraits and goings-on very soon. So, stay tuned!

Kelly and Billy’s album is a 12×12 pagemount with Stone raw silk cover. Cover features a vertical photo motif.

Alexa and Eric’s album is a 12×12 Duo (combines flush and pagemount style images) with a black leather cover. Names are engraved in Futura font.

Lovely new silk Queensberry album.

Just got an incredible black Japanese silk album from Queensberry and it’s all for me! Well, it’s a studio sample. Images were from the wedding of Anne and Gabe.

You’ve heard me say it a bunch….Queensberry makes the finest handcrafted albums on the planet. The quality is simply the best. Their style is so modern and fresh, yet not too trendy. These albums are creative, but will never go out of style. I’ve always thought it is so important to showcase my images in albums that fit the style of my work and this one certainly does that. It’s a blend of matted images, as well as flush images (that go right to the edge of the page). You can read more about Queensberry and their Duo albums here.
Stay tuned! We’re getting two more Queensberry albums for our clients next week and we’ll be sure to post pics.

Specs: 12×12 Queensberry Black silk Duo album with photo cover motif. Translucent title page with futura font.

I never get tired of photographing big skies.

Cece’s Bridals

I had a great time not too long ago photographing Cece’s bridal portraits. Many thanks to the coordinator extraordinaire Aimee Villa of Lizze Belle Events for sending Cece my way. Here are just a few highlights. You’ll notice about half of the images are of Cece in her vintage fur stall (which was her grandmother’s). She looked SO beautiful in it!
Mostly shot with my Canon 35mm 1.4, I love how it creates such an organic sharpness. In other words, I don’t have to rely on Photoshop filters after the fact;) It’s just a fantastic lens. Enjoy…

Congrats to Mary-Kristen and David.

Mary-Kristen and David had an amazingly grand wedding in Houston. Coordinated by Keely Thorne, this wedding was nothing short of fantastic in every way. There were over 500 guests at this wedding, so there were many talented professionals to help make the day such a success. Here are just a few listed below.

Florist – Susie Miller

Lounge Furniture – Events in Bloom

Cakes – Marlene Romero

Linens – The Linen House

Band – Sha’On

Ceremony – Chapelwood United Methodist Church

Reception – Houston Country Club

I must also send out a special thanks to friends and fellow photographers Heather Banks and Bonnie Berry for helping me photograph this wedding. Your assistance was VERY much appreciated!

Mary-Kristen’s gorgeous dress by Vera Wang.

Keely was definitely one of the most hands-on and helpful coordinators I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Mary-Kristen and David decided to see each other before the ceremony, so here is David waiting for their first glance.

One of my personal favorites.

A little champagne on the bus to kick start the party.

A quite moment between Mary-Kristen and David.

Fun props (boas, guitars, silly glasses, mics…) were provided for the guests. They were an absolute hit.

Short, but definitely sweet words…

I shot Alexa and Eric’s wedding not too long ago and she sent me this really nice email. To know I’ve made someone this happy is one of the best parts of my job.

“Hi Amelia!

I just wanted to let you know that we are thrilled with all of the prints that we received and have been getting so many compliments on the work that you have done on our wedding photos. Your sensitivity to the images is really something to be admired. This was such a dream come true for our event to be captured so beautifully.
