Album Cover Inspiration

By Lone Pine Albums

We love seeing what album cover combinations you + your clients are choosing, so we thought we’d round up a few of our favourites to share with you…

red leather + black foil

We couldn’t think of a more perfect cover choice for this wedding *so rock n’ roll!*, from Susie Yang Photography.

chestnut leather + deboss

azure fabric + gold foil

Sweet lord, Julia Rau Photography, we’re obsessed with this cover choice… the perfect contrast to those burnt orange and red tones in your images.

cream leather + copper foil

Our classic serif font, copper foiled on cream is a sophisticated combination – so well suited for this beauty by our friends over at Figtree Pictures.

So there you have it folks! We hope this has given you a little inspiration, but remember, we’re always on hand to help, so get in touch if you need a little guidance.

We’d love to know, which one is your fave? Let us know in the comment area above!

Here at LONEPINE, we’re lucky enough to produce albums for some of the best photographers in the industry. Over the coming months, we’ll be checking in with some of our faves, to showcase their beautiful work.

Meet Melbourne-based photographer Leo Farrell, whose candid, documentary style photography continually captivates us…

1. How did you get into photography?

Inspired by my younger sister as a teen who was bringing home darkroom prints from her school photography class. I was instantly curious, and went on to shoot and work in my own makeshift darkrooms, as a passionate hobby for years. Finally, at the age of 30 I enrolled in a part-time night course while working a full-time day job, and transitioned into a photographic career.

2. What do you love about shooting weddings?

Having the privilege to document two people’s celebration of their relationship and commitment to it in front of their closest family and friends. Photographically, I love the creative freedom my clients give me to capture their day. I love using light to create drama and mood in the images, and to tell a story with the photos that will become tactile reminders of their day for them and future generations of their families.

3. What is your favourite part of a wedding day?

Straight after the ceremony when the couple are being congratulated by close family with full hearts and emotions.
Seeing a bride and groom cut loose on the dance floor with friends and family towards the end of the evening always brings a smile to my face too.

4. What keeps you inspired?

Always looking for light and chasing the next great moment to capture.

5. What do you love about designing wedding albums?

Designing albums is not my strength, so I use the amazing Renee Blake to design them for me.

6. What do you love about LONEPINE albums?

Knowing my work is being printed and presented in the best possible way for my clients.

7. Any advice you would give to a photographer starting out?

Take lots of photos. Learn to understand light and how to recognise it and use it creatively in your photography.
