New Albums!

April 7th, 2008 · No Comments

As You Wish is proud to be a new client of a fabulous album company. These books are exquisite and are a perfect blend of the more casual story books and the beautiful leather-bound albums.

Pages

The pages are not boards. Instead, they are thick, finished high-quality photo paper. The paper is available in both a semi-gloss and a smooth satin finish. Unlike hardboard albums, these books can hold hundreds of pages. They are perfect for you photo “hounds”.

Special Pages

A beautiful option for the first page of the book is a frosted clear page that allows the next image to shine through. It makes a beautiful title page.

Binding

The pages are hinged for a flush-mount View definition in a new window that leaves only the tiniest of lines between facing pages. Double-page spreads are wonderful and continuous and almost feel panoramic.

Cover

The leather covers are top quality and come in a nice variety of colors. You’ll love the feel of this book in your hands.

Dust Jacket

My favorite part of the albums is the dust jacket. I’ve never seen anything like it! The paper is thick, heavy, and textured. It reminds me of an artist’s watercolor paper. Your cover images will printed on it with rich color. The finish on the paper gives the album a feel that the dust jacket really is protecting the book for many years to come.

Presentation Box

No quality album would be complete without a nice presentation box. The standard one that comes with the album is a perfect fit, which allows for sturdy and safe storage (and even shipping). There are also several options for different presentation boxes to suit your style and tastes.

We can’t wait to start ordering these gorgeous albums! So, let us design one for you!

Schedule a presentation, now. We only have the sample book for this week, where you can see both the paper options and the clear pages. After we have to send it back, we’ll only be able to show samples from what previous brides have selected.

Danielle & Marty Christenberry-Gallow guest book

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Danielle wanted photos in their guest book, but also wanted a traditional look. Her idea translated quite well to give her a traditional product (makes mom happy) with a modern edge (makes bride happy).


a walk in downtown Calvert, Texas


Danielle’s favorite image


oh so sweet!


one of my favorites of them


playing at the park and splash pad was So. Much. Fun.


before the full soaking


this was everyone’s favorite image…and just had to be saved for last


based on the size of the guest list and guests behaviors at showers—where many let their kids sign their own names—we felt the need for some blank “lines only” pages and included a few of these in the back of the book.

Small changes are included with the cost of the print as long as requests are emailed before a print order is placed.. Larger changes are billed at a rate of $60 hourly.

http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg shot an amazing 07/07/07 wedding! Kim & Lance had an incredibly unique wedding that was also the funniest I’d ever seen. Attending a wedding at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin was a once-in-a-lifetime event. It was perfect for this couple who’d been engaged since 1993.

With that in mind, http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg is now taking applications for couples who are planning a June 7, 2008 (06/07/08) wedding. If your wedding will be unique and creative, http://www.asyouwishbcs.com/asyouwish_images/asyouwish-281t-t.jpg would like to be considered for your photography needs.

The couple/event chosen will receive:
* a free engagement session
* 90 takeaway cards
* 90 thank you cards (with a photo from the engagement session)

Wedding Maps

July 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Wedding maps are essential in today’s invitation folios. They help guests find the ceremony and give them valuable information about hotel reservations and other travel details.

As You Wish can design a printed map with driving directions for your invitation. We also recommend that you include the “from ceremony to reception” map and directions on the back of your wedding program. (Your day will run much more smoothly if you do not have to give directions to your family and friends during those first few moments of marriage.)

Thanks to Google maps technology, there is now a great online service, Wedding Mapper, that allows you to map not just the ceremony, reception, and hotels, but also a variety of points of interest in the town(s) where your event(s) will occur.

As a demo, I’ve made a map of some of the locations from our wedding events in 2001 and some of our favorite places in town, now.

Demo Wedding Map, Bryan, Texas
This fabulous service can be used for free (like my demo) , but is only $10 for some advanced features.

Add this site to your own wedding website. Your guests will have an easier travel experience, which will lead to more fun for them and less stress for you.

A Love Made for the Big Screen!

July 9th, 2007 · No Comments

On July 7, 2007, the most popular date in wedding history, Kim & Lance tied the knot at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. To celebrate the occasion with a modern take on the “bridal portrait” I have designed a “movie” poster to decorate the mezzanine while guests enjoy post-ceremony hors ‘d oeuvres and view the cake.

Here is the final image.

Mr. & Mrs. Lance & Kim Parr met as Freshmen at Texas A&M University when they both joined the Aggie Cinema organization (later known as Film Society) in the Memorial Student Center. They’ve been engaged since 1993!

Congratulations on finally tying the knot! Kudos for doing it in such a uniqe, fun, and classic way!

Movie-themed Wedding Decor

July 5th, 2007 · No Comments

On July 7, 2007 (the most popular date in wedding history, they tell us!), Kim & Lance will tie the knot at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. I have designed one “movie” poster to decorate the lobby as guests are strolling in. (Another with a bridal portrait will be in the mezzanine during post-ceremony hors ‘d oeuvres.)

The couple met as Freshmen at Texas A&M University when they both joined the Aggie Cinema organization (later known as Film Society) in the Memorial Student Center.

Here is the final image.
