Wedding Albums
Posted in products
Your wedding album is your first family heirloom, the one thing that contains all the elements of your wedding day and that you get to keep forever!
My goal is to provide my clients with the best possible product and the exact album that they want and to keep the whole process as simple as possible.
We have three album lines at Cristi Owen Photography: Classic, Couture, and Modern.
The Classic: These albums have solid covers and come in four sizes: 8×10, 10×10, 11×14, and 12×12. Here are the color/fabric/leather options offered:
The Couture: These albums are the same album as the Classic, but with more options for your cover. Custom options include: dual color, metal photo on cover, and imprint on spine.
The Modern: These albums provide the option of purchasing copies of the main album at a discounted price. These are great gifts for the parents.
The main album cover can be a metal cover with a photo or a leather cover with a photo die-cut. The names and date on the cover are optional. Sizes include 8×12 or 8×8, 9.5×13 or 9.5×9.5, and 12×16 or 12×12. Parent copy sizes include 8×12 or 8×8, 6×8 or 6×6 (sold as set of 2), and 4×5 or 4×4 (sold as a set of 4).
A. Main album with black leather cover with die-cut photo and debossed names and wedding date.

And I am pleased to announce the arrival of birth announcements to Cristi Owen Photography. With so many of my brides and grooms growing their families, I felt this was a must add on to my products.
I am absolutely in love with photographing newborns and I think you should be able to show off your perfect bundle of joy to your family and friends.

New Albums
Posted in products
I am absolutely in love with my new album company. Don’t worry, I still carry my old albums and love them too, but this new company offers many more options as far as cover choices and imprinting without losing any of the quality. These albums take just a little longer to make than the other ones due to the all the details and different options offered, but I think it’s totally worth it. I am constantly searching for new options for my clients and I’m so happy to say I’ve finally found exactly what I’ve been looking for.
As you can see, for this album I chose a two-tone leather cover with a metal cameo in the center. It’s 11 x 14 in size and I wish you could touch it… It’s so soft! They also offer animal friendly covers and many other sizes and colors. Isn’t it gorgeous?!
SAAWEEEEEEEETTT!!!!
LOVE EM!!
You HAVE to PM me on FB and let me know where you got that!

Wedding Guest Book
Posted in engagements | products
I guess the main reason for a Wedding Guest Book is to add to the wonderful memories of your day and help you remember everyone who came. Traditionally guest books were exactly just that, a blank book for guests to write their names in. Which is what I got for my own wedding and ended up getting rid of it a few years later. In all honesty, it really wasn’t that much fun to look at a bunch of signatures, most of which I couldn’t figure out who they were. Plus, we had 120 guests and maybe 30 or 40 people signed the book.
. For small weddings (30 – 40 guests), I’ve seen albums where there’s a pocket for a polaroid picture of the guest and then some room for them to write right above or below their photo. The downside to this is that the line can get long, some people give up and polaroids don’t last very long. But I think it encourages guests to write a little more than just their names. I’ve also seen ceramic platters where everyone can use a special marker to write their names and you can later “fire” the platter in the oven. If you like this idea but is hesitant due to the fact that the platter can easily break, I’ve heard you can buy a silver tray instead and use an engraving pen. This is definitely not my style as I’m not sure what I’d use it for (?). Another popular variation for guest books is a framed photo with a large mat for guests to sign their names. Again, this is such a personal decision, but I’m very picky about what goes up on my walls. I guess it could work on a hallway by itself or with snapshots in the same style frame.
The back cover:
There are a lot of options available for these books. You can get a custom photo cover or a leather cover in a variety of different colors as well as foiling engraving on the leather covers. There’s also a variety of sizes to choose from. The brown leather one below is a 12×12 and the other two are 8.5 x 11.
I hope this helps some of you bride and grooms out there choose the best guest book option for you! It’s important to know that it will be something that you will enjoy for a long time to come .
Those are great! Where can you get those made?

hi TCupp, I get these from White House, but I design them myself.

What is White House? Do you have a web site for them? I’m looking to make my own guest book for my upcoming wedding, but I don’t know where to get it custom made. Thanks in advance!
