Congratulations Michelle and Bryan!

My last wedding of the year… So far! I say, "so far" because I prepared for Michelle and Bryan's wedding in less than a week! I received a call from Minda (Michelle's mom) last Wednesday. So while most of you were getting amped up and traveling for Thanksgiving, I was over at their house ironing out all the details of her daughter and future son-in-law's wedding. Then on Sunday, I shot it!

I'm glad I did… Michelle was a beautiful bride and had a lot of wonderful friends surrounding her on her day. I was blessed to have captured this day for them.

They had their ceremony and reception at the Spirit of Washington Events Center. It was amazing how fast the staff flipped from ceremony to reception in a manner of minutes.
I've previewed their images and they're turning really well. Here's a few snapshot of their images:

I'm currently working on their album design now, so bookmark my blog and keep checking it frequently for any updates on that ;)

Leave a comment for the newlywed on my blog. They would surely appreciate it!
Have a great day!

Ellen and Gerry's Album Design

Ellen and Gerry were married in June 2006 in beautiful Hawaii. I wanted to air it out there that I was NOT their wedding photographer, but after receiving the raw files from them, I designed an album for them. A lot of potential clients don't know, but photography is only one-third of my business. Another one-third of my business is building albums. The last one-third of my business are the relationships I build with my brides and grooms :)

Here are a few snapshots of their album:














Check out their album by clicking HERE (or by clicking here: http://www.asencilimaging.com/estrada/albumdesign). It's still a rough draft, but I wanted to give YOU a preview of it before they approve it. Let them know what you think of the album by leaving a comment on this blog entry ;)

On another note -

I've previewed the images from my last wedding this past Sunday. Michelle and Bryan were beautiful! I'll have a preview slideshow of their images online in the next few days, so check back for those. THEIR album design will be to come also :)

Have a great day!

Putheavy and Rey's Album is Here!

My album company never fails me!

Putheavy contacted me about 2 weeks ago and wanted to streamline the production of her WEDDING album (you can see more from their wedding day HERE . She inquired about receiving her album back before the the holidays (namely Christmas) and at that time I hadn't even recevied her approval to send the files through. I NEVER send the files through without my brides proofing, revising and approving them. I want my pre-designed albums to be PERFECT!

So, I did the math using six weeks as the constant variable and that would have brought us all the way up until about mid-December, JUST before the holiday. I let Putheavy know and she agreed that that date would be "okay". She approved the spreads and I sent them off that day to avoid any delays.

Fast forward to yesterday (the day BEFORE Thanksgiving), I come home and there's her album in a carefully-packed boxed on my doorstep. "NO WAY"!! It's here FOUR weeks ahead of schedule!

Oh my! I just about soiled my shorts I was so happy! :)

My hat's off to Kevin and the Kiss Wedding Book crew.

And, the book is amazing. We decided on the RED Italian Leather cover (choice of blue, green, black, tan and brown -- They're ALL beautiful!)

See for yourself:

Just a reminder to all my current brides with album designs pending your approval-

We have until December 1st to approve and send off your album files in order to get them back from the printers BEFORE Christmas.

To all-

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
