Workflow + Album Design: creativeLIVE Wrap-Up

/

Wow. The entire crew over at creativeLIVE is on their game like nobody's business. They make magic happen on a daily basis, and—they make it look easy.

For those of you who aren't familiar with creativeLIVE and how it works, they offer entirely FREE online workshops, broadcast over the internet to anyone in the world with a connection. If you enjoy the course and want to keep it for future reference, you can purchase it for immediate download (which often includes some bonus goodies too).

They're quickly taking the whole world by storm, and I am beyond honored to have had the opportunity to be part of the fun and witness their collective genius in action. (Group hug!)

I shared my approach to wedding workflow and album design, detailing how for the past 3 years, I've managed to edit a full wedding (and design the album) in 8 hours or less, getting everything back to clients within a week of their wedding. I've been teaching variations of this topic for a few years, and there are always some folks who think I'm making the whole thing up. :) To put an end to any doubts you may have, at the end of Day 2, you can watch  me design a full 40-pg album (entirely from scratch in InDesign), start to finish—in 35 minutes. LIVE and on-camera.

Think I'm kidding? Get the course and see for yourself! ;)

Here's a wrap-up from the end of Day 1: (Huge shout out to the entire creativeLIVE crew and everyone who tuned in to be part of the world-wide magic... Collective happy dance!)

Down the Aisle: Derrick + Chelsea

An international love affair that spans the Atlantic ocean, Derrick (from Ireland) and Chelsea (a Nebraska girl) currently call the Omaha area home, but friends and family were quick to remind them that they'll "Always have a home in Sligo!" It's great to be so loved, isn't it? On two continents, no less.

Congrats you two... Looking forward to an Irish coffee date! ;)

Derrick's "Gran" looking so cute on the sofa... I couldn't help myself. :)

"Inside this packet are petals and wishes to scatter all over the new Mr. & Mrs.!"

 

Down the Aisle: Kari + Adam

Whether at their engagement session in St. Louis or their jaw-droppingly gorgeous wedding reception at Omaha's historic Orpheum Theater, working with Kari and Adam is pure delight. Both physicians, their meticulous planning and attention to detail are certainly an asset in their professional lives, but also come in quite handy when pulling off such an unforgettable wedding celebration like this. Enjoy the view! :)

Kari's grandpa. He was beaming at the reception where he told me about attending all of Kari's basketball games when she was growing up and how proud he is of his oldest grandchild. <melt!>
