And then on to  St. Michael’s Church and the Brookdale Inn. The flowers were beautifully created by Laura at Sweeley’s Design.

Here are some wedding pages from albums recently completed by my designer. I take pride in the fact that your wedding album will be one of the most treasured items in your house and an heirloom that you hand to your grandkids. These sample album pages will give you an idea of the design – but it is not until you hold the album in your hand that you truly understand the quality.
