Happy Friday afternoon, bubelahs!  I’m pumped because we’ve got two posts on the docket today, one is a freaking gorgeous real wedding, but that’s coming up a bit later today because I’m excited to start things off with this killer heads up on a stellar company that might just be the perfect answer to your needs in the photo album department.

If you haven’t already heard of Muujee, here’s the lowdown: they custom design professional quality wedding albums, giving brides a fabulous alternative to your typical run of the mill album design.  And who doesn’t love a little personalization?   Their custom designs are sleek, elegant and top of the line.  Among my faves are The Magazine Album, The Fine Art Book, and you can even shoot them a bunch of your images and they’ll show you a free SAMPLE DESIGN!  So cool.  I really love that you’re not limited to choosing from a very defined set of generic options.  I am ALL ABOUT making it “my own”, so I’m all about this company.  If you like personalization like I do, Muujee is a fantastic option.  Of equal importance, if you like killer discounts like I do, then you’re probably going to enjoy the fact that Muujee is offering Knotty readers 25% OFF!

Here are some words from Muujee that I’d like to share with you, since I’m certainly not the pro here…

“As opposed to typical consumer photo book companies where the user has to create their own designs or use generic templates, we specialize in creating custom designs for users, and then offering a variety of professional-level albums and books.  This service and product is especially geared towards brides who want a professional album (and design) that is not offered by consumer companies.   We’ve been doing this for several years now as a service for professional wedding photographers.  We launched the official site as our “consumer” branch of the Muujee business.

“Our pricing is very competitive, and includes a custom design service from our creative graphic designers.   Our products and services are great for brides whose photographers do not offer albums, brides who didn’t originally order an album, or brides looking to potentially save money by ordering albums directly from us.”

Here’s one more fun part!  Muujee offers a free album contest on Facebook which runs until the end of October.   (You’ll need to become a fan of their page in order to enter the contest, which is no biggie, obvs.).  P.S. – you can increase your chances of winning by having others submit an entry on your behalf as well!

So, friendlies, if you’re in the market for a stellar wedding album, go ahead and visit Muujee today!

P.S. – what do you guys think of the designs?  Do you love being able to personalize everything as much as I do?

Sorry, that’s all you get, for now!  You’re probably thinking that’s the logo, right?  Well, unfortunately, I can’t tell you if you’re right or wrong about that. ;)

I’m runnin’ this show like Christmas, y’all.  It’s so much better when you get to open everything at once!  You’ll see, when you’re older.  You’ll thank mama.  ;)

xoxo!  – Alison

Elizabeth Messina – one of my absolute favorite photographers in the entire galaxy and beyond, and who has a blog that is almost as fabulous as its maker –  posted about these babies and it made me go insane for the idea in a clinical way.

How spectacular are those!  I would die for these kinds of photos of my family and friends.  I was talking about this with some friends recently; photo booths are a surefire way to get your guests to ham it up and, as I look at these, I can’t imagine a more beautiful way to capture the action!  Forget for a moment the simple fabric backdrops we know and love; this is a fully interactive wall, complete with three key points of head insertion!  (The double-entendre right there was NOT intentional, if you’re wondering.  Is it peculiar that I don’t feel like rephrasing, though?  I just don’t have the energy to be sufficiently appropriate right now.)

The smaller frames surrounding those that are empty hold photos of the bride’s and the groom’s families.  How wonderful is that?!  The bride, whose name is Kristen, added these family photos to this incredible work of art, created by Sasha Souza.  Do you love it like I do?  Well there are a couple more examples to check out over on Kiss the Groom!

Speaking of Elizabeth Messina, here’s a look at the kind of work she churns out, time after time.  Talk about a photographer with an eye for perfection…

The above and below are from the photo booth couple’s wedding!  Love it.  I am officially obsessed with brides who wear light jackets and feathered headgear on their wedding days.  Bold and beautiful.

By the way, if you decide to check out all the yumminess over on Kiss the Groom, you may notice a gorgeous pregnant woman dressed in black lace and a fedora.  If not, here’s the link.  Look at her belly button.  I pray to all that is holy that my belly button remains THAT FLAT when I am, one day, at that stage of pregnancy.  That is the flattest, most subtle belly button pop-out I’ve EVER SEEN.

Of the second set, I’m completely in love with the ballooned toe.  I could have phrased that several different ways, but “ballooned toe” pleases me in an unparalleled way, so it stays.  (Just one of the perks of being the editor.)

I adore the way both sets teeter between the colors blue and green, without ever stepping into true blue or true green territory.  Quite remarkable to me.  Not to mention excellent wedding color scheme inspiration, in my opinion.
