“When you’re married to your best friend…….”

As I sat at the wedding reception of dear friends last night, I realized that I never posted any spreads from their beautiful engagement album. Watching this beautiful couple at their chuppah last night was so emotional as they began their journey together as husband and wife.

Here is a sample of their 24 page, landscaped shaped engagement album. The leather “After Midnight Blues” album cover boasts cursive, rose gold lettering and stunning, lustre pages.

Wishing Rebecca and Adam a wonderful life and a huge mazal tov to them and their entire families!

“Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart” - Anonymous

Showcasing both photo shoot pictures as well as engagement party photos in one beautiful album, is a wonderful engagement gift for the couple, parents and grandparents. This is an old argument, but it breaks my heart when a photographer is hired for an event or photo shoot, and the stunning photos sit on some phone or computer instead of a coffee table.

This amazing couple celebrated their engagement (and wedding) together with their family and friends.
Wishing Tali & Benji a lifetime of happiness, health and wonderful things to come.

As a side note, I have never actually been in California, but my albums have.....and they tell me it is a fabulous place!

This landscape shaped, 46 page, genuine leather bat mitzvah album……. speaks for itself. This “chalkboard” gray has become an extremely popular color, and the purple stripe in “elderberry” really takes this album to another level.

Handcrafted albums, quality craftsmanship……enough said. The hubbed spine on this new acrylic/leather wedding album is simply a work of art. That “vintage” feature matched with a modern black & white cover takes this album to a new level.

Hi, I'm Shira, and I decided to reintroduce myself and Custom Album Design, which was born when I decided to turn my favorite hobby into a career. Designing a photo album can be an art for some, yet a chore for others. Custom Album Design is all about extremely customized service and personal touch (I'm pretty sure most of my clients will back me up on that), and a large variety of photo album cover options and layout styles. Numerous opportunities for changes and photo swaps, as well as the complimentary photo selection option are very appealing features, as thousands of photos to sort through can be quite overwhelming. The client is as involved as they want to be…... some clients love when I take over and do the entire project from start to finish, while other clients know exactly what they want!

End result…. A beautiful photo album to display and show your family, friends, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Whether it is a wedding, engagement, bar/bat mitzvah or the birth of a new baby……Custom Album Design provides a stress free experience from the time you begin the process until the album arrives at your door. Please head over to my website https://www.customalbumdesignbyshira.com/ where you can not only see photo album samples, but many album highlights videos. All pricing is listed on the website.

What an exciting project this was….. To take a vintage bar mitzvah album from 1968 and refashion it into something one would find in 2021. This client, who shared his special bar mitzvah day with his twin, had all of the photos restored from his original album. I’m not showing the inside of the album here, but let’s just say that for those who love fashion from previous decades making a comeback, these photos were truly spectacular.
Mazal Tov Alan and Barry! May this album always bring back those wonderful emotions that you felt on your special day , 53 years ago!

So exciting to do a Bat Mitzvah Album after a series of weddings!

All of the delicious desserts were home made....although the guests really thought it was catered!
This album is a Hardcover 40 page custom design reflecting a Paris themed Bat Mitzvah.

"A memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose."

Sure, you like scrolling through your son's bar mitzva pictures on your laptop, but are you really enjoying the pictures that you paid the photographer for?

It's fine to show your friend the pictures from your daughter's wedding that are downloaded to your phone, but wouldn't it be nicer to enjoy and appreciate them while perusing through a gorgeous album of that special day?
