J wanted to join WPPI Las Vegas this year, but his schedule was not compatible with the convention. He envies other NC photographers who can join the meeting. J has three year membership with WPPI, so he will join the annual WPPI meeting next year. He is in Riverside, CA. J is traveling to California for other business opportunities. J keeps in mind destination weddings in California. J studied in UC, Riverside for his Ph.D.; therefore, he knows Riverside well.

WPPI in Las Vegas
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010An album design was done for Bunmi (Nigerian wedding).
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Raleigh photographer J uses several album companies including Graphistudio, Pictage, Capri and others. The clients can choose their best pictures if they like to do. J designs the layouts with those pictures. Whenever possible, J prefers to choose the best pictures for his clients. With the set of chosen pictures by J, albums can be more coherent and design can be done faster.
Bunmi originally had an album with 24 pages, but she increased 20 more pages for her wedding album. Her album included getting ready images, wedding ceremony, formal family portraits, and wedding reception. Bunmi agreed on the PDF proofs of her wedding album. She loved the layouts and images in her album.
Wedding album design is the last step where wedding photographers can enhance the wedding images further more. The photographers can make more creative expressions of the wedding images. Textures can be added, artistic and creative borders can be used, and colors and contrasts of the images can be optimized and enhanced.
