My mornings start like this: I enter the office with my coffee in my hands and hit the "start" button on my computer. As my computer is a little older I wait by the window with my coffee and watch the people wrapped in warm coats on their bikes getting their groceries done [...]

So this changed me and my relationship with my blog. I am not saying this is for everyone and it surely takes up a lot of time but for me it is definitely worth it. This blog is turning into one important part of my business and receiving messages and comments from people I would never expect to read my blog just makes me really happy.
I design all wedding albums myself and I do it in InDesign. In the beginning it was a hard process starting over again with each and every album. But then I found a way to save my designs as templates and reuse them for new designs. I think a wedding album should tell the story of a wedding in a clean and simple way. Some pages get more images like the reception and the dancing some pages get only one image to emphasize that moment. Anyway this is just my way of design for some it might be to simplistic or minimalistic but I like to look at a wedding album that focusses on the images and the story.
