Maureen & Chad’s Damask Custom Photo Engagement Guest book

I have been absolutely bursting at the seams waiting for Maureen & Chad’s wedding to roll around so that could post their stunning custom photo engagement guest book.  Maureen sent me images of her aisle runner (which was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! btw) in a black and white damask and her cake design (which was completed by the AMAZING Brenda Renner of The Sugar Forest) and from that we established a “theme” / design for her book.

Other than that, Maureen let me go to town with the wording, images and design and I truly impressed myself.  I want to make my own family a book like this!  It takes a lot to impress me (photography wise.. for obvious reasons) and this did it.  THEN to get it back from the printers and to see the custom cover!  LOVE IT!  It was really neat for me to listen to the guests “ooohs” and “ahhhs” as they wrote little messages to the bride and groom.  I think the words: Amazing, Awesome and Cool were used multiple times as well as at least two people who were discussing how they had never seen anything like this book!  Well… the books are bountiful at the old Schmidt Studio, so brides… come on over!

The photo guest book turned out simply stunning but I always wait until after the wedding to post the books.  So yes, today, is officially after!  I am posting!  (Been waiting a while for this!)

Nicole & John’s Custom Photo Engagement Guestbook

It’s all rage… yes… so the signature mats are still cool but they can only display ONE of your beautiful engagement photos!  That is quite tragic because when you become an SS&G bride you can look forward to at least 75-100 fabulous engagement images (maybe more if you change outfits a couple of times…) !!!!  Not to worry, problem solved!  Share a fabulous engagement photo guest book with your wedding guests.  You can use the book as an actual guest book, in lieu of the traditional lined book with a satin cover and room for 1000 people to sign their names (even though you are only invited 175)!

Each of our books is hand designed using at least 75% of the images from your engagement session.  The colors, textures, wording, patterns etc. are based on your specifications.  For example, John and Nicole’s wedding colors were orange and lime green.  They were have an outdoor wedding so the booked “feel” was based on a summer garden party.  Also, they requested that their dogs be included because they would be able to be in attendance on the wedding day.

Many of our brides send pictures of their wedding colors, bridesmaid dresses, invitations, cakes, fabrics, words to their first dance song, readings that will be at the ceremony etc.  Some of our brides say “You know us… do your thing!” and are stunned to find a beautiful book that is a total surprise to them!  You can be involved as much or as little as you would like with your book design!

Depending upon how many people you will have at your wedding we have books from 8×8 all the way to 11×14.  An average wedding will comfortably fit inside an 8×11 book.  There are hundreds of covers to choose from, from various colors of linen or leather, hardcover, softcover or even Our engagement books begin at $200 to add to any wedding package and are completely custom designed to match your wedding and engagement photos beautifully.

Bailey & Tim’s Custom Engagement Photo Guest Book

Bailey and Tim chose a custom designed engagement photo guestbook for their guests to sign on their way into their ceremony.  An increasing number of brides are straying from the traditional “name and address here” lined guestbooks.  They have traded in satin covers and feather plume pens for hip custom designs and colored sharpie markers.  It is a trend, that I have to say, I HIGHLY endorse!  What better way to keep all of your engagement memories together AND share them with your weddings guests?

Our custom designed engagement photo guest books start at $250 and can be designed / printed in under 2 weeks!

OR… as an SS&G bride you can ALWAYS purchase your engagement DVD and create a DIY book from Mpix.com if you are feeling crafty!

Either way it is a fabulous way to keep your memories together!
