Heirloom Albums: Creating Your First Family Heirloom

bLOG CATEGORIEs + Search

I’m so excited to announce my brand-new heirloom albums!

While I love that technology has granted us the ability to pull up photos with ease, I don’t think that scrolling and swiping through content does justice to our most important memories.

I believe that the images from the most pivotal life moments deserve more. Those memories deserve to be sat down with, intentionally. And you deserve to be able to relive those moments again and again, immersing yourself in the memory and all of the emotions that come with it.

One tradition my husband and I have adopted is to sit down together on each wedding anniversary, pull out our wedding album, and relive all of the highlights —the moments, big and small— as we lose ourselves in all of the same emotions we felt on that August day in 2017. It’s a powerful exercise, reminding us of all the love we felt in those moments and the promises we made on that day. And I genuinely believe it helps keep our marriage strong. I want that for you.

Introducing the LJP Heirloom Album collection

These albums are the perfect way to preserve the memories of your wedding day. With a lifetime guarantee, these hand-crafted albums are truly meant to serve as an family heirloom to be enjoyed for generations to come.

The first step to creating your heirloom is contacting me! Once we’ve agreed to begin the process, I will put together a preliminary draft of your album, incorporating images that best tell the full story of your wedding. When ready, I’ll send you a link to the album draft, and you’ll be able to share your thoughts and leave comments if there are images or pages you’d like to add, remove, or swap. You’ll also be able to make custom selections regarding size, cover, and color to ensure your album truly reflects you and your big day.

Albums also make a great gift for parents! If you are considering gifting an album for a special holiday or occasion, please contact me to begin the album creation process no fewer than two months in advance.

BEHIND THE LENS

Passionate about turning your most heartfelt moments into your legacy of love

When I was first getting to know my husband, Michael's, family, I loved hearing the stories of their marriages— the good times and bad, better and worse, joy as well as sorrow, and always love. But the very first time I saw his grandmother’s collection of family wedding photos perched atop her mantel I had to stop and take in what over 200 years of marriage looked like on display. As I looked on at the images framed on the mantel, immediately all of the stories shared by Michael’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins came rushing through my head, and it was so easy to trace them all back to the days they said “I do.” In my role as a wedding photographer, I capture all of the raw emotions of your big day, so when you look back at those images you are reminded of the fullness in your heart and you can see how that first day of marriage created a legacy of love.
