Wedding Album Designer Minneapolis | Jackie + John

By Joanna Carina

Luxury Wedding Album Design

Today I’m so excited to share my latest wedding photo album. Jackie + John were married last fall at the stunning Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Be sure to take a look at their beautiful Arboretum wedding photos (and check out their fun MN Landscape Arboretum Winter Lights engagement photos too.)

After the wedding, Jackie + John worked with me to design a custom Graphistudio wedding album. These gorgeous albums are designed by me and then handmade in Italy. Together, we created a wedding photo album that perfectly reflected their day.

Custom-Designed Wedding Album

We started with their album box: Jackie + John chose a dark wood box with their custom-designed wedding logo foiled in silver on the top of the box. Inside the box, the album cover features a gorgeous crystal-clear cover photo of the them from their wedding day. The album is also bound with the same gorgeous wood. The pages are printed on metallic professional photo paper and bound into a patented lay-flat binding system. The pages are then finished with a satin coating to protect against fingerprints, dirt and oils. Their box is finished with a blue satin ribbon, taken from their wedding colors of blue, purple and silver.

Thank You!

Jackie + John loved their album, and they even ordered a set of gift album copies to give to their families. These are such a wonderful heirloom for them to share with family and friends. They can enjoy them time and again over the years, and pass them down for generations. Congratulations again, Jackie + John, and thank you for trusting me to create these beautiful albums to commemorate your big day. I hope you cherish your albums forever!

Wedding Photo Album Design MN | Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina

Wedding Photo Album Designer

Today I wanted to spend some more time highlighting a few of my latest Premium wedding photo albums. I design luxury albums hand-crafted by Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the longest-running and most-prestigious wedding album artisans in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are handmade at their headquarters in Italy. Graphi has offices all over the world. Luckily, the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis! These are a few of my latest designs for you to get a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship.

Premium Wedding Album #1

Sarah + Eric’s wedding photo album is first. The box and album backing is created from anthracite gray Maple material, with its silky texture. I created a border design and type mimicking their wedding invitation. We printed the graphic and their names in gold foil, also taking cues from their wedding design. The album itself features a crystal clear cover and with gorgeous photo of Sarah and Eric from their first look atop the Endless Bridge at the Guthrie Theater, overlooking the Mississippi River. Their album paper is finished with a satin varnish, and the whole package is finished with a gorgeous satin ribbon.

Jordan + Elliot’s wedding photo album is next. Their box was created with the sage Maple material reminiscent of the beautiful wooden flowers custom-made for their big day. The box cover shows the simple name and date of their big day in a crisp font. Inside the box, we featured a photo of Jordan’s beautiful wooden flower bouquet. Then the album was covered with the crystal clear finish with photo of the two of them during their big day. We finished their album with a rich satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #3

Last is Marcie + David’s wedding photo album. They wanted their album to be crisp and simple, using the wood color from their MN Landscape Arboretum wedding day. We utilized the biscuit-toned Maple material for both their album and box, along with a beautiful gold foil for elegance. The cover of the box also features some of the artwork taken from their wedding invitation, featuring a bird and tree illustration (they were married under the huge oak tree in the Grass Garden at the Arb.) We also finished their whole package with the elegant blue ribbon, another color featured during their big day.

Heirloom Wedding Photo Album Design | Stephanie + Travis

By Joanna Carina

Luxury Wedding Photo Album

Today I’m excited to share my latest wedding photo album. Stephanie + Travis were married on a beautiful August day in 2016. Their wedding was held in the gorgeous, vintage glamour of the Minneapolis Club in downtown Minneapolis. You can see their wedding photos from their beautiful day here too.

Graphistudio Wedding Photo Album

After the wedding, Stephanie + Travis wanted a custom Graphistudio wedding album. They have been produced for almost 40 years now, and are handmade in Italy. Together, we designed a wedding photo album that perfectly reflected their day. We started with their album box, and they chose a silky, wood-patterned Maple material. Their names were foiled on the top in classic silver. The box was finished with a sky blue satin ribbon, which was their dominant wedding color.

The album features an elegant crystal clear cover with a photo of Stephanie + Travis in front of the Minneapolis Club. The album is bound with matching Maple material which ties it together with the box. The pages are printed on professional photo paper and bound into a patented lay-flat binding system. The pages are finished with a satin coating to protect against fingerprints, dirt and oils.

Thank You

Stephanie + Travis were thrilled with their album. It is such a wonderful heirloom for them to share with family and friends. They can enjoy it time and again over the years.

Premium Wedding Photo Albums | Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina

Minneapolis Wedding Photo Albums

Today I wanted to spend some more time highlighting my Premium wedding photo albums. I offer luxury albums from Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the longest-running and most-prestigious wedding album manufacturers in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are handmade at their headquarters in Italy. Graphi has offices all over the world. Luckily, the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis!

Following are a few album examples for you to get a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship. I previously highlighted my high-end Signature wedding photo albums. Today I am highlighting my Premium wedding photo albums. These are more budget-friendly than the Signature line.

Premium Wedding Album #1

Courtney + Blake’s wedding photo album is first. The box is created out of white wood pulp with an amazing white-on-white texture. I created a beautiful circular border to mimic the greenery circle from Courtney + Blake’s ceremony. We printed the graphic and their names in rose gold foil. (This was one of their wedding colors.) Inside the box is an image of their wedding invitations and rings. The book itself features a crystal clear cover and dark blue leather binding. (Another of their wedding colors.) The paper is a soft matte with velvety finish. The box and album are finished with a light gray satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #2

Chantel + Quinn’s wedding photo album is next. They wanted a crest on their box cover. I customized an elegant ornament which subtly features an ‘A’. (The first letter of their married last names.) The symbol has been printed in gold foil on the box cover. The box was created in anthracite gray Maple material. Inside the box, we featured a photo of Chantel + Quinn from their wedding day. Their album is covered in the same Maple material, but this time in white. The box cover design was converted into a gold foil border. The album was finished with a rich blue satin ribbon. That was also one of their wedding colors.

Next is Susan + Robert’s wedding photo album. All of my wedding photo albums include a custom-designed protective box. Since Susan was of Indian heritage, her wedding featured numerous Indian touches. For example, her bridesmaids wore multi-colored saris from India. Susan wore traditional henna on her hands. She also wore an exquisite Indian gown during the reception. The box was made of white soft-touch material and featured a stamped white-on-white Indian pattern. The box included a sky blue satin ribbon. The blue was matched with the cover image. It featured a photo of Susan + Robert in the gorgeous landscape of the Mendakota Country Club golf course. The album cover was a thick crystal-clear plexi sheet over a metallic photo. This gave it a bright, glowing presentation. The album is bound with a traditional black Italian leather.

Signature Wedding Photography Albums | Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina

Minneapolis Wedding Photo Albums

Today I’m showing several of my Signature wedding photo albums. I’m proud to be carrying luxury wedding photo albums from Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the most-prestigious wedding album makers in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982, and the albums are still produced at their headquarters in Italy. They have grown to open offices all over the world, and luckily the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis! I’m highlighting five albums to give a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship.

Wedding Photo Album #1

Amanda + Dan’s wedding photo album is up first. All of my wedding photo albums come with a protective box. This keeps them safe from damage, dust and light. The exterior features a black Touch soft finish. The box cover features their names and custom-designed crest in elegant silver foil. The box interior features metallic silver linen, as well as a yellow satin ribbon. Since yellow and gray were Amanda + Dan’s wedding colors, the choices were fitting. The album cover is brushed silver metal with infrared image from Amanda + Dan’s wedding day. The album is bound with bright yellow Italian leather. The interior pages are printed on professional photo paper with satin finish. This protects against fingerprints, oils and dirt to ensure decades of enjoyment.

Next is Anna + Brandon’s wedding photo album. Their wedding took place at the Minneapolis Dayblock Event Center. Their formal portraits were taken behind the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. The box and album binding were created with Graphi’s Maple material. The texture and color reflects the rustic, worn wood of Minneapolis’ vintage buildings. The album’s Crystal cover matches the glass throughout the city. A green metallic linen lines the box interior. The box is finished with a blue ribbon to coordinate with their blue wedding color. The photos are printed on metallic photo paper with satin finish. The images really pop off the page!

Wedding Photo Album Design | Katie + Brett

By Joanna Carina

Luxury Wedding Photo Album

I’m excited to share my latest wedding photography album with you today! Katie + Brett were married on a warmish January day (well, warm for MN!) They held their wedding prep at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown St Paul. Their wedding was at St Stephen’s Catholic Church in Anoka. The reception followed at the Landmark Center in St Paul. You can see images from their day in my recent blog post.

Graphistudio Wedding Photo Album

After the wedding, Katie + Brett knew they wanted a gorgeous, custom Graphistudio wedding photography album. These are handmade in Italy. Together, we designed a wedding photography album that perfectly reflected their beautiful day. Their wedding featured an elegant, winter black/white/silver theme. Starting with their album box, they chose the refined black Touch material on the outside. Inside was a metallic silver linen. I recreated the lace pattern from their wedding invitation on the box cover. The artwork and names were printed with a silver foil. The box was finished with a black satin ribbon.

The album cover features brushed silver metal overprinted with a beautiful photo of Katie + Brett in the Landmark Center. The album is bound with black Italian leather. The pages are printed on professional photo paper and bound into a patented lay-flat binding system. The pages are finished with a satin laminate to protect against oils and fingerprints.

Katie + Brett’s album was so perfect for them, and they were thrilled with it! It is such a wonderful heirloom for them to share with family and friends. They can enjoy it time and again over the years. Congratulations, Katie + Brett. It was such an honor and joy to work with you. I wish you the best in your lives together!

Take a look at some other gorgeous wedding photo albums that I custom-designed for my clients, including Jackie + John’s luxury wedding photo album, David + Elizabeth’s fine art wedding photo book, Karen + Harrison’s heirloom wedding album, Travis + Stephanie’s handmade wedding album, Chris + Antonio’s bespoke wedding album, and another post showing a variety of custom wedding albums.

Wedding Photography Album Design | Chris + Antonio

By Joanna Carina

Luxury Wedding Photo Album

Chris and Antonio were married at the Landmark Center in St Paul MN. They purchased a gorgeous custom-designed wedding album which was handmade in Italy. It was so spectacular, I wanted to share it today on the blog!

Graphistudio Wedding Photo Album

For all my wedding and portrait photography albums, I work exclusively with Graphistudio. They are one of the oldest and most prestigious wedding album makers in the world. They have been operating since 1982! All the albums are hand-made at their headquarters in Italy. They offer a myriad of customizations, including Italian leathers, woods, metals, crystal clear, and other unique materials. The albums also feature a patented lay-flat binding system, HD printing, professional photo paper, and an incorporated protective box.

Wedding Photo Album Creation

The process for creating the albums is very simple. Using my years of design expertise, I create an initial layout using images from your wedding day. I choose images that create an overview of all the facets of your day. I design them in a clean, fresh, timeless album layout. You choose from the many materials and colors available. We create something that is unique to you and fits your style and personality. Then you can review the layout and request edits until we create a layout that you love. I am even able to show you 3D mockups of the album so you can see the materials and colors together before we send it to Italy for production. Once you approve the layout, I send the artwork to Graphi so they can produce your masterpiece. We receive the completed album in just a couple of months.

Landmark Center Wedding Photo Album

Chris + Antonio’s wedding was a very elegant affair. They loved the juxtaposition between weathered stone and wood featured in the locations of their engagement session and wedding day first look. They also loved the vintage elegance of their Landmark Center venue. For their album box, they chose a refined rustic dark gray Maple. The cover features an elegant script font stamped in silver foil. The box was finished with metallic silver linen and a white satin ribbon.

The album itself featured a brushed silver metal cover imprinted with a photo of Chris + Antonio from their big day. The album was bound in black Italian leather. To say that we were all blown away when we saw the album in person is an understatement. The two of them were thrilled!

Take a look at some other gorgeous wedding photo albums that I custom-designed for my clients, including Jackie + John’s luxury wedding photo album, David + Elizabeth’s fine art wedding photo book, Karen + Harrison’s heirloom wedding album, Travis + Stephanie’s handmade wedding album, Katie + Brett’s custom-designed wedding book, and another post showing a variety of custom wedding albums.

Engagement Photography Albums | Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina

Engagement Photo Albums

Today I would like to highlight the latest addition to my album lineup. I’m proud to offer luxury engagement albums from Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the most-prestigious wedding album makers in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are still made at their headquarters in Italy. Many of the top wedding photographers in the world offer Graphi albums. Luckily the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis!

I’m highlighting two albums for you. One example is a traditional engagement album. The other is an example of an engagement guestbook.

Engagement Photo Album Sizes

The first few images show my albums together in various sizes. The albums come with their own protective box. They have numerous color options and a crystal clear magnetic cover. The front cover imagery is completely customizable. We can use any photo or illustration/design choice possible.

The next few images highlight my traditional engagement albums. I chose a photo cover on the front with materials to match the colors. Inside I used numerous images from the engagement session. The album’s professional photographic paper is bound with Graphi’s patented lay-flat technology. I also used a satin coating on the paper to protect the pages for longevity.

Engagement Guest Book

These last images show an engagement guestbook. This album uses the images from the engagement session as a traditional album would. I also added additional space on the pages for written well-wishes from wedding guests. Due to the carnival-style session, I chose colors and an illustration to reflect that theme. Then I used numerous images from the session with the additional space needed for writing.
