Question re the 'Maggie' shot with Randy Chapman

[JaxTeach]

jaclyn,

how are you making your own? i'm in the same boat with the flushmount prices...are you doing yours on blurb or shutterfly? i want a really thick one for OUR album and i'm going to do mini's for my parents/sisters/IL's...

Caryn--
What I'm making is not a digital flush mount. I don't know much about those, but I think Daniella's album is gorgeous. I found a website that sells the same album that Randy uses for the albums like Daniella posted. The one Randy uses is the Large Renaissance Verona Leather (http://www.proweddingalbums.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=416). I found another site selling it for less (around $200), I'll post when I get home. The albums come in severals sizes-- I believe 12 pages (24 sides), 15 pages (30 sides), 18 pages (36 sides), 21 pages (42 sides), 24 pages (48 sides) and finally 27 pages (54 sides).

Basically you purchase the album and the photo mats (which are around $1 each, they range in size from 4x6 to 10x10). Then I'll have to decide which photos I want to use and have them printed somewhere. You then put the images in the mats with a bit of adhesive and insert them into the album sleeves. I think it will be quite a bit of work, but I can't spend another $800 for our album. Plus, if I do it myself, I can use our MK and Epcot photos from Disney. I think that deciding on the layout will be the most difficult part, but I've got nothing but time on my hands these days with no wedding crafts to create!

So that's my plan... we'll see how it turns out!

I don't know what we paid for the large album from randy since we got a package but I asked him about an extra parents album. which was 24 4x6's. It would have been about $300-$350 for one. I just looked at the link and those parents albums are still $200 just for the album, then you have to pay to print all the pictures and do the layouts yourself. Randy did it all. Just something to keep in mind.

I'm interested in what the cost will be for "just married" people, like us. The PDF on his website says $738+ for the 30 page album and you get a 10% discount. I'm curious if that is what will be charged, though.

Looks like I missed all the commotion again. I will agree that Maggie and Angela are both stunning. Maggie already knows that her pictures are what led me to book Randy in the first place and I thought she looked stunning in her pictures and well I have made it clear before that I am envious of Angie's figure! Angie you looked amazing in your MK shoot pics. It's so weird chatting to you all on here again, I miss coming over here and seeing you girls.

Summer - Thanks so much!!!

It is so strange being back on the DIS. I haven't been on in such a long time, though I haven't been on our other site either. Life has just gotten in the way...
I have missed talking to you...
