Well, its that brief time of year when things get quiet and we stew in our creative juices! My favorite time of year. We use February and March to get all our new ideas and images into fresh sample albums. This one is especially exciting to me. Farinaz and Paymon were married in May at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, and John took them over to Balboa Park for an exquisitely romantic session. Their wedding was just a gorgeous Persian affair, with tons of rich deep colors. Yes, this is the same one featured in Ceremony magazine, with Laura Rizzo coordinating and Ana Aftahi from Floral Works doing the flowers etc ("etcetera" in this case being crazy amazing). I just HAD to play that up for this sample, so you'll see some rather over-the-top background color and texture treatments. But I LOVE it!! I pulled out all the stops for the cover as well. This is a 12x18 album (yes, you heard right, this is a BIG one), with Finao Armour and Bohemian leather. the Armour is actually a black and white photo engraved into a sheet of metal, and the Bohemian leather is a very deep reptile-like leather. It was killing me waiting for it to arrive!
