Thanks Jill ya know where to find me.

I have to update the pics. I think I need to get calibration software because on my comp the colros looked olne way but at work they look another way and they all need to be the same for printing.

Thansk Jess. I loved yours. I dont like things too busy-little busy is ok.

ETA: UPDATING with changes as per suggestions from you ladies. still missing a few spreads but almost done. I'll hold off posting anymore after this till its completed so not to bore anyone.

I SO appreciate the help and suggestions though! Keep em coming. You don't have to be 'a pro' to know if somethign works or doesn't-sometimes fresh unbiased eyes are the best. So far i think the small suggestions really helped.
























From white background to black and excahnged the side pics as suggested to pics of us.

perfect!

Better with the side pics? They werent shot at the same time as the bench shots but they're all green in CP so i figured its ok.

Ok Jenn, here's more info than you probably wanted, lol! Just my own opinion, so as always take what you agree with and ignore the rest!

Personally, I LOVE the following shots and think you should put them to bed - they're great as is!

















And this last one is my ABSOLUTE fav!! It shows so much emotion!



I would suggest a couple of changes on the rest of them...

This one I think maybe has just one too many pics - I would maybe remove the top left small pic? Or something else?



This layout looks very pretty, but the small pics in the middle are so similar to the larger ones. How would you feel about just leaving the two large pics (background) and just removing the two small pics?



There's something about the way the right-most pic in this layout is merged with the pics to it's left... Also, the pic of Pete is great, but I feel like it's not balanced out in this layout since the other pics are of you two together. I would change up this layout a bit - How about making the left pic the one where you're holding the train of the dress, keep the right pic and then make the pic of Pete same size as the other small pics, add a pic of you in that same small size and make it so that the middle of the layout is the set of 4 small pics?



Jenn, can you reduce the contrast a bit in the right small pic? It looks a bit harsher than the other two - a bit too strong, but if you like it that way, ignore! :)



LOVE this layout, my only suggestion is that in the middle section, the top left and bottom right pics are SOOOO similar that it really looks like the same pic until you look closely. Maybe swap one out for another closeup of you? Otherwise, this looks fab!



And my LAST suggestion is for the pic below - love the changes you made! Definitely looks better. I would just suggest that you use less black fading on the middle pic so that it stands out a bit more. It's a great pic, but I feel like it's getting a bit lost with too much black, do you know what I mean? Just a smidge less fading on the sides of that center pic and I think it would be perf!


That's it, I know I've bored you to tears now. xox

spectacular! you take my breath away, it's AMAZING!! i wouldn't change a thing!

LOL not bored but alot of the changes I cant make for thesimpel fact I dont have other pictures to swap them out for which is why i got stuck using similar pics or layouts that are so simialr it gets boring.

Thats the problem with albums-sometimes you have more ideas than you do photos to work with.

I might have to rework this whole one. I am trying to keep the page count down to as few as possible because its flushmount so ALOT more expensive than Picaboo or shutterfly, and I wanted to get more pics of Pete in there so its not so many of me, but a the same time keep page count low.

I thought maybe because he's looking forward in all of the pics it would give balance-kinda like he's saying 'yea Im hot, she wnats me' lol.
Guess that didnt work.



I don't have small pics of me from this part of the shoot. The ones I used there are all I have so how can we arrange just using those or omitting some? I am open for ideas.

The contrast I have to check on the this one.


At home it looks fine. At work it seems weird so I need to get that color calibraton software.

Hmm last one fade the black? Or do you think it was betetr in the white? i didnt change anythign except the color and the two side pics from the original layout.

This one:


You dont think its too plain with just the pictures? I feel it looks just sorta blah because all the pics are pale. Should I swap either of the big pics for either of the small ones?

This one...I have other pics on the steps but they're in full color and larger so that small i might lsoe some of the detail. Do you think color-regular color would look ok with the oens that have the urban processing going on (purpley look)?

i this one. totally deserves a page of its own. when i have more time, ill really take a closer look to see if i have any suggestions.

Jenn,

There should be a law saying that brides can only make their albums oh- so- hot. It hurts to look at it, its done so beautiful. I look, and then I look away....LMAO.... Im like, is this real??! I feel like Im looking at the pages of Elle or Vogue. Stop being so good at this bride thing, dammit!!! Im very proud of your creative eye, I love it!! Come over and decorate my house. LMAO
