soooo NOT disappointed in my wedding album UPDATE

Repost from BHB

Hi everybody.

Haven't been on in a while, but I'm really upset about this album thing and I was hoping maybe some of you could give me your opinions.

Here's the deal . . . DH and I LOVE our wedding proofs. Lots of creative/photojournalistic shotsand the studio was great with everything. We've had a very hectic year and we only got around to thinking about the album a few months ago.

When we did sit down with someone at the studio we were having trouble narrowing down our shots -- and we thought we'd be talking to the designer about choices, but no such luck. In the end we had to do a lot of compromising, but we narrowed down the shots, keeping in some unique ones that we imaged would make our album really special. (example -- just my BoK or my shoe, etc)

Unfortunately, the designer gave us what I think is a very very plain, even boring layout. And apparently the only way that I can get some of the things I imagined is to pay a redesign fee and wait another 3 months -- which I am not willing to do.

So, here I am . . . very disappointed in my album.
And my designer will make any changes I specifically ask for, but at this point I am practically designing the album myself.

I'm attaching the layout and hoping some of you might be able to give me your opinions.

Maybe I'm being too much of a perfectionist. But it just seems boring to me -- especially the first couple of pages. At this point I am considering paying the extra $$ and getting a redesign . . .

What do you think?
TIA













































I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED ANYMORE!
