Album | C & S San Francisco Wedding
Still getting through all my California wedding from last year before we relocated to Boston. This is an 8×12 vertical heirloom album covered in gray and black silk.
Again with the hot end paper. . .
I love the design of this spread. The municipal clock, the digital numbers, the wait.
The stunning SF City Hall.
Album | T & R | Santa Cruz
A 8×8 black silk heirloom album (hand crafted by me!)
Using the grain in two directions here, against the spine of the album.
Inspired by Loubouton, I have been using a bright red silk for the end papers.
A page spread – the bride meditating before the ceremony.
Another page spread, with foliage of the canopy of redwoods.
Album | J & J Bay Area Wedding
Album | R & S Bay Area Wedding
Album | D & G’s LA Wedding
Album | A & B’s San Diego Wedding
An album that had been a long time in the making. Heirloom album covered in split-tone gray and black leather.
Vertical silver embossing on the front cover.
Black leather spine detail.
Page spread of the bride’s prep. I love the out of focus bridesmaid in the background!
Still one of my all time favorite candid bridal portraits. The composition just shy of symmetry, and the soft color palette.
Album | K. & J.’s New Haven Wedding
Presenting one of my first hand-bound (by me!) in-studio wedding albums:

A staid gray cover on the outside.

White core flush mount pages.

I chose a fun bright green for the fly pages, to offset the more traditional gray cloth on the cover.

A peek at one of the spreads. See more here.
Fine-Art Folio | D. & G.’s Los Angeles Wedding {perfect parent gift idea!}
One of the new greener products we are offering this year are Fine Art Folios. Below are a few images of a sample 5×7 Triptych.

Continuing the Ars Magna use of twill tape (thank again for casual yet elegant idea, Thinkside).
Here the twill functions as an enclosure for a 5×7 fine art triptych with a red silk cover.

The Folio folds shut and ties.
Foil stamping on the interior in silver.

Prints in the Fine Art Folios sit in museum window mats.

Open, the Fine Art Folio can be displayed on a mantle or shelf.
Album | Children’s Portraiture
Another example of a hand-bound in-studio album, this one featuring a selection of Ars Magna family and children photography from the past year.

Again with the gray fabric (I know, I know), but a cream fabric spine this time.

Title page.

Album pages fanning open.

Close-up of one of the children’s portrait album spreads, this one featuring the gregarious and upside-down Emily.
