Griffin and Seana's album!

The album is an opportunity to share your wedding day with elegance.

Pilster Photography's designer James, our associate storyteller, and our lab help to take the photos beyond digital. They make sure that no matter how big or small an album is it looks spectacular.

James has a great talent of carrying Pilster Photography's style onto the pages while piecing everything together to tell the wedding day story.

The lab gives options so the album has a great look and feel when you hold it in your hands.

So congratulations Griffin and Seana, I hope you enjoy this beautiful album!



The pages are so thick it feels like the book will last forever!



The feel and the smell of these leather covers is just awesome. You really need to handle one of these books to experience it best.









If you were wondering just how big a 5x5 album is, this will give you a really good idea.



(Yes I still have film around. I am actually planning to shoot more soon. You know me, I just like to be different! Be sure to look for the upcoming blogs on it!)

Griffin and Seana "Remember the Day" Signed Print

Choosing one photo of the thousands I shot on a wedding day is tough. I put so much passion into making every image and I wish I could give Griffin and Seana all of them! Our "Remember the Day" signed print turns a photo from just being a photo to being a signed work of art.

I do a lot of thinking before I decide on a print. The look on their faces, the awesome light and the moment that they were sharing guided me to this one. I hope it finds a place on their wall next to many of the others!




Look how gorgeous this 3/4" Standout mounting looks!

Griffin and Seana's Jacksonville Wedding! Part 1

I get a phone call on a Friday afternoon asking if I was available for a wedding "next weekend"! A good friend of mine in Jacksonville had referred them to me. I am glad I was! Griffin, Seana, their groomsman, matron of honor, and everyone else was great fun to take photos of.

The wedding was simple, but the dress was amazing. Seana had hand sewn all of the beading on the dress! She should be a professional at this!

Griffin and Seana's wedding also gave me an excellent experience in the culture of Cambodia and Khmer. There were lot's of little touches thrown in to mix the two cultures. I hope to have the chance to photograph a full Khmer wedding someday.

The wedding wasn't just simple, but it was quick. Seana only wore her gorgeous dress for the ceremony and pictures and then changed into a more traditional outfit for the reception. They had their first dance, enjoyed a few stories, ate some food and then they were off.

Since the bride and groom were gone and I had some willing bridal party members, we ran off to the playground nearby and had some fun.
Congratulations Griffin and Seana!
