Share Your Story-ERNST JACOBSEN | Award Winning Wedding Photography in Bloomington Normal IL

Fiona / Event Planner

"What makes a photographer great, in my opinion, is his or her ability to capture the moments of authenticity- the fleeting glances, the subtle graceful gestures, the raw exchanges. A great photographer's images take you by the eye and lead you back into the scene. They make you feel. Such is the photographer I found Ernst Jacobsen to be as I scrolled through the images he took of a wedding I recently attended." Fiona

SHARE YOUR STORY

Soon after your wedding, I’ll email a link to your online gallery. It’s a nice way to view ALL the photos and to select your favorites. But when you get together with family and friends, you lose a special connection when viewing 800 +/- photos on a phone or laptop screen. There is a better way. The best way.

Why an Album?

Your wedding album is meant to be shared—with family, friends, and one day, perhaps, with your children. Through it, you’ll relive your wedding day, reminiscing about the moments and the loved ones who were there to celebrate with you—grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and lifelong friends.

Holding it in your hands, feeling the textured cover, slowly turning each page, and getting lost in the emotions — it’s an experience digital photos can’t replicate. Over time, your album will develop a beautifully worn patina, enriched with the love and memories from those who held your album.

There’s simply no better way to preserve and experience your wedding story than with a beautifully crafted album designed to last for generations.

Album Design Steps = Simple

I’ll design the first draft of your album using photos that reflect the natural flow of your wedding day, from start to finish. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to review and request any changes to ensure it perfectly tells your story.

Then, simply choose a cover from a selection of beautiful leather, fine linen, or a tooled, textured cover reminiscent of fancy cowboy boots or traditional artisan leatherwork, to create a one-of-a-kind heirloom—one that you’ll proudly share with family and friends who visit your home, and perhaps one day, with children of your own.

If you’re drawn to a cover with a magical luminescence, you might love the specially coated metal cover or perhaps the earthy, natural looking maple wood – both will feature a favorite photo from your wedding day.
