We loved Christina and Trevor’s seaside wedding at the Larchmont Yacht Club in Westchester so much that we made a sample album from their wedding.  And we made a copy album too…a “mini-me” version of the 12×12 matted Queensberry album.  These copy albums make great gifts for parents or grandparents.  Queensberry albums are built to last with quality paper, leathers and workmanship which sets them apart from many other wedding albums.  In this day & age when we email iPhone snapshots taken 20 seconds ago, Queensberry’s in the business of making a timeless, handmade story told through your photographs, and–as they say–”We believe the people who will most value your new album haven’t yet been born.”

It’s been album central at IRIS Photography this winter, and we wanted to share some recent Queensberry albums featuring our 2011 clients.  Love, love, love Ashley and Price’s album…it really came together nice!  Their album is a 10×14 “Duo” which combines matted photos and unmatted photos that can span a page or run to the edges–the Duo combines the best of both worlds…the classic matted style along with a contemporary, larger photo look.

Ashley and Price had such a relaxed and meaningful wedding last June in the sunshine on the banks of the Farmington River at Apricot’s restaurant…which was featured here in in Style Me Pretty as well as in our blogpost from last summer.  Below are a few fave spreads from their album, with even more here.  Happy Spring Ashley and Price!!

We just got back from a photographers’ convention in New Orleans and see that winter has arrived (finally) in Connecticut.  Perfect timing for some images of summer!…here’s a peek into Caitlin and Greg’s beautiful early September wedding we photographed back in 2010 in Essex CT.  Loved their wedding at their home in Essex with the ceremony in the front yard and the reception in the Sperry Tent in their backyard.  We had the pleasure of working with Lauren and Kristin from Bellafare, the boutique event & wedding planning co. from NYC, and this wedding featured gorgeous flowers and decor from Lewis Miller Design.  Greg and Kaitlin’s album is the archival, handmade Queensberry 10×14 “Duo” album with a white leather cover.  Duo albums combine matted and flush-mount photos into one album for a classic, creative look.  Here are some photos of their album.  More album sneak peeks coming on our blog shortly…

Spanning the globe…from way down in New Zealand, our album company Queensberry just featured on their blog the book we made highlighting the first year of life for Landon, the adorable son of Lindsay and Stephen, our friends and neighbors in West Hartford.  Lindsay’s a terrific wedding planner with her Sixpence for your Shoe event business which we work with often.  As for these press printed books, they’re top quality like all Queensberry products and our clients use them for family portraits, engagement shoots and wedding guest books.  More shots here…

Many couples are now incorporating their engagement session photography into their Save the Date cards.  Check out  our latest options if you are looking for something fun and funky.  You can see all the designs here (the password is: date), just use your mouse to float over the thumbnails at the bottom.  Please inquire for pricing and engagement shoot availability.

We’re very excited to launch our new website www.plainjaneprints.com for high-quality contemporary photo cards (holiday, announcement, save the date, thank you, and more).

I really enjoyed designing  custom cards for clients over the past year and wanted to develop that further by incorporating patterns/designs from graphic designers.  And, I wanted a site to easily showcase options to both photography and non-photography clients.  Here are a few examples:

Holiday:

Announcements:

Party Invitation:

Thank yous:

Notes for clients/potential clients:

Most designs can be customized for the wording and photos you want to use.

For current wedding photography clients, you can still have the option to purchase the Pictage cards this year or you are welcome to try one of these designs.   Order directly from the site or through me.

For non-photography clients, you are open to submit any photo (it doesn’t have to be photographed by us), as long as you have permission to print it from the owner of the copyright (it may be you, it may be someone else).  We will take your photo and make it look the best we can.  Submission guidelines are detailed on the site.  Please order directly from the site and allow for a two-week turnaround.

Thanks for taking a look!
