So like many photographers out there, I’ve recently revamped my collections to include digital files + a print release as a standard across the board. (We’ve also incorporated an a la carte model, but that’s another story!). And while many photographers still do charge extra for digitals, I decided to include them because I truly WANT my couples to share their images to their heart’s content online. I think that in 2016, so much of the communication that we do takes place on our computers and phones, and I want to embrace that with you. I want you to send your gallery off to your grandparents who couldn’t make it to your big day, or to your college roommate who’s off exploring Europe. I want you to be excited about your photos and I want you to post them online.

And as good as all of that is, online sharing is not what’s on my heart today. What I want to talk to you guys about are albums. Now trust me, I know that once your big day is over, and you + your new hubby (or wifey!), are finally settling into life together, the farthest things from your mind are wedding prints. Especially now that you get digitals complimentary! BUT digital photographs aren’t tangible. Guys, this is a crazy, fast-paced world that we live in. In my full time role as a public relations specialist, sometimes I can go weeks without printing anything at work. WEEKS!

But photographs are different. And your wedding photographs are some of the most important pictures that you’ll ever have in your possession. I always think about my parents when I talk about getting photos printed, and that’s because every single year, on their wedding anniversary, my parents sit down together on the couch in their living room and they look at their wedding album. Over the years, houses have changed, kids have come and gone, new presidents have led our country, and the couch that they sit on has been updated, but the one constant is their marriage and their tangible memories of the day that they started their life together.

Don’t be those people who’s memories only live online. Get yours printed. Be proud of the day that you worked so hard to plan. And someday, when your kiddos ask you what you looked like as a bride, pull out your wedding album and show them!

If you’re a Jessica Bedore Photography bride, you have access to one of the nation’s best professional print labs and fine art album creators. All of my albums start with genuine Italian leather covers with complimentary front cover embossing in a variety of colors. Leather is timeless and will stand up to years of wear and tear. Shown below is an album covered in gold Italian leather.

All of my albums come with 20+ lay-flat panoramic spreads on Fuji Matte or Lustre paper. The pages come coated with a UV protection so they won’t fade over time. The best part- these pages are printed at a lab calibrated to my specific standards, so you’ll be receiving the best possible color quality for your memories.

When you’re done paging through your album, place it back in your complimentary keepsake box, which is also customizable. This wood box is covered on the inside with cloth and is also UV coated so it won’t fade. It’s the perfect way to keep your album safe for years to come!
