Hey everybody!  I know it’s been a while since we’ve blogged.  I have to say, it’s been kind of an enjoyably slow month.  As you all know, August is miserably hot in Arizona so there’s not too many couples crazy enough to plan a wedding during this time of the year.  Believe me, I’m not complaining about the down time!  September is the official start to wedding season here and its going to get PRETTY CRAZY from this point forward.  In the next few weeks we’ve got three weddings, a two day bridal shoot and TONS of editing and album designs to follow.  On top of that, our niece is scheduled to be born any day now (can’t wait to be an Aunt!  YAY!) so we’ll probably be posting a zillion baby photos on top of everything else.  I really like being busy, but it definitely doesn’t leave much time for napping . . . and I do love to nap :-)  Tomorrow is day one of the bridal shoot so stay tuned for LOTS and LOTS of photos to come.

That’s what I thought . . . your welcome :-)

Hey everybody!  I’ve been neglecting our blog a bit lately so I thought I’d give everybody a quick update on a couple of the things we’ve been working on.  Since January, we have been primarily offering our clients “coffee-table style” albums in a variety of sizes.  We have just launched two new lines of beautiful wedding albums and a proof book option to give our clients even more great choices for their special day!  

Both of our new wedding album options have thick, lay flat pages with virtually NO gutter so the page designs can stretch over the entire spread without interruption.  The Park Avenue line comes with a supple, Italian leather cover, giving it a classic, high-end look and feel.  (My other favorite feature is the chic cloth carrying case!)

The Manhattan line also features the thick, lay flat pages, but offers a full color image on the cover.  Produced with fingerprint and stain resistant material, this album has the outer look and durability of a coffee table album with the beautiful interior typically found only in a premium leather album.  It combines the best elements of modern style and traditional quality!

The other new option is the proof book.  These 8 x 10 hard cover books include every image from your wedding laid out in a simple six-images-to-a-page layout.  The image names are printed below each photo to make it easy to identify your favorites.  The cover includes a custom dust jacket with a full color image from your special day.   We do of course, still include an online proofing gallery in each of our wedding packages, so once your friends and family have selected their favorites you can simply send them to our website to place an order.  We don’t want our brides to have to worry about collecting a thousand post it notes full of image numbers!  Here’s an enlarged sample of what a page design would look like:

In addition to these new fabulous options, we have also made some changes to our wedding and portrait packages.  For all of the details, visit SimplyKnotPhotos.com!

*** A note to our current clients with upcoming wedding dates: you can also take advantage of these great new products!  We’re happy to apply any album credit from your package towards the purchase of one of our new album options.
