Megan Beth Guest Sign-In Albums.

Let’s be honest, traditional guest sign-in books are a thing of the past.  Lately couples have been trying to think of new creative ways to make sure they remember all the special people who attended their wedding.  Well guess what?  I’m here to make your job easier.  Because what’s better than showcasing your beautiful engagement photographs with a custom 8×8 leather bound flush mounted guest sign-in album.  Umm, winning.  They are way fancy, and custom designed with your engagement photos.  Many of my couples use them as coffee table books after the wedding, which I think is an absolutely perfect way to remember the day.

Here’s a look at Amanda and Sonny’s guest sign-in album with their engagement photographs from Annapolis, Maryland!  The album is 8×8, and here you can see the size comparison to Maggie and Seth’s 10×12 vertical wedding album.

Love the stamp imprinting on the front and the inset photograph.

 

 

The pages are printed on archival quality photo paper with lay-flat binding.

The layouts are designed clean and simple with lots of white negative space for guests to leave notes of well-wishes and sign their names.

Mary Anne - Oh I thought of doing this for our wedding, but ended up doing my little tree instead. Wish I could have done both. It’s SUCH a great idea.May 17, 2012 – 5:31 pm

Lindsey + Charlie: Annapolis Engagement Photographs

They met in high school and the very handsome Charlie was one year older.  Throughout college they had mutual friends so they started to hang out more and had become better friends.  And then one day he decided to ask out his beautiful friend to dinner.  She said yes.  Except she thought it was a friends dinner, so she did just that, she brought a friend.  T’was a nice date.  At Chart House in Annapolis.  All three of them.  Though Lindsey swears she really didn’t realize it was THAT kind of dinner, her friend was feeling the third wheelage to max degree.

And even though that first date didn’t go quite exactly as Charlie had planned, the second date indeed was just the two of them.  Lindsey and Charlie have the most adorable wedding planned for September at the Annapolis Yacht Club.   We decided to start off their engagement photographs in downtown Annapolis then head over to the water by the Annapolis Yacht Club just as the sun was setting.

They’re always laughing, and I love it.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie—the boy sure does know how to pick a rock.

Charlie is easy going and happy, love these two of him!

Next we went over to the Annapolis Yacht Club for the second half of their engagement photographs and found this big beautiful navy blue yacht.

I love this one.

Lindsey, go ahead girl, GO ON WIT YOUR GORGEOUS SELF.  Seriously.

 

 

It started to sprinkle right before sunset, but to be totally honest if it’s going to sprinkle to get a golden sunset like this I’LL TAKE IT.  Oh and umm, really, how amazingly beautiful are they?!

My absolute favorite image of them from the day.  How is your hair so perfect, Lindsey?

We finished up literally with the last bits of the sun setting with the Annapolis Yacht Club in the background–a perfect end to a perfect afternoon!

Stephanie + Darrell: Baltimore Engagement Photos

He was the new guy at work, and when he walked into the conference room, there she was.  She looked absolutely beautiful but he played it cool, and kept his calm.  Being the new guy in the office he wanted to make sure that he extended a hand to everyone to get to know them better.  And Stephanie, well, Darrell thought that he definitely needed to ask her out to a work lunch meeting to get to know her better.  The work lunch meeting went as planned, but after the first ten minutes of ‘work talk,’ something got off track.  They started talking about themselves.  And their personal lives.  And Darrell, he thought she was amazing.  That weekend they went out for their first date at a restaurant in Baltimore and left the work part at home.  It’s no surprise that they hit it off, and they will be getting married this April at the Evergreen Museum in Baltimore.

Stephanie and Darrell decided that since they met at work, they wanted their engagement photos to be taken around the same area.  So we started their engagement session in Harbor East in downtown Baltimore.  I had no idea how beautiful this new area was, and was so glad they chose this spot for their engagement photos!

Stephanie and Darrell are basically the most fun couple ever.  Stephanie is so beautiful when she laughs and Darrell, well he keeps her laughing all the time.

I just love you guys.  There’s never any shortage of lovin’ going on.

Next we headed over to shoot in front of the new Four Seasons in Baltimore.

Darrell looking mighty handsome.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.  Look who brought the sexy.

Stephanie, please believe me when I say, you are gorgeous.  HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR EYES?!

And this last one, is one of my favorites from that day.

Marie + Scott: Washington DC Engagement Photos

She was out with her friend celebrating her engagement and he was out with his friend, celebrating his engagement.  They were at opposite ends of the bar, but Scott’s newly engaged friend decided to play matchmaker and wanted to set them up.  Because well, Marie was smart, and Scott was smart.  And not only were they both smart, but they were both runners.  See!  Perfect match!  Scott’s friend ran back and forth throughout the night Marie you should really meet my friend Scott, you’re both runners!  And although she was skeptical because he was a midshipmen, before the night was over they agreed to meet.  They hit it off and talked for the rest of the night before going home.

Marie and her friend drove Scott home, though he had still yet to get her number.  He got out of the car, and started walking away.  Marie was bummed and couldn’t believe they didn’t exchange information, so she told her friend just to keep going as she watched him walk away.  And just like out of a movie, at the last second, Scott turned around and came running back to the car to get her number.  They went out the next day, and five years later this August, they will get married at Historic London Town House and Gardens.  Since their wedding is going to be at a beautiful garden setting on the water, Marie wanted to switch it up a little for their engagement photos, and decided on Washington DC as a perfectly urban backdrop.

Marie is so much fun, seriously, the girl just brings energy and excitement to wherever she is.

And not to mention, beautiful.

How adorable are they?

Before we started I told them no need to be nervous, we were just there to have a good time.  And Marie?  She was all, pusht I’m not nervous, JUST EXCITED.  My kinda girl!  And right here, here’s where I knew Scott and Marie brought the fierceness.

Scott is so sweet with Marie, you can just see how much he loves her when he looks at her.

And Scott?  Dude, can bring the swag.  Lookin’ all GQ.

We found this alley that was covered with street art, and Marie just fell in love.  Which then made my heart explode because I love shooting engagement photographs in urban settings.  This gorgeousness might be my favorite from the day!

This one is so perfect.

This one on the left is the epitome of Marie and Scott’s relationship.  Marie making Scott laugh, and them having fun no matter where they are.

Seriously Marie, you look gorgeous in this photograph.

I’ll end with this one, one of the last of our session, and an adorable way to wrap it up.  No Parkin’ folks.
