MoscaPhoto Product : A beautiful cream-colored, full leather, Sequoia Wedding Album!

We're so proud of our printed products! It's the reason why we always include them in any of our packages. Photographs deserve to be printed, touched, passed around AND passed ON, from generation to generation. Whenever I find myself back in Rome, I always make it a point to look through my parents' wedding album from their wedding in the '70s and I LOVE IT! :)

This particular book, below, is a beautiful, real leather, cream colored, silver embossed, 4x6 image opening, 10x10 inch wedding album -- I know! Lots of words there ;) But I'm super descriptive, right? ;)

This is an exclusive line of albums that are only offered to photographers who have Pictage as a business partner; you won't find these books around the web as "consumer" products. These are Willow Book books and are made just for professionals. They are high quality, hand made, and always stunning. We are never disappointed and just wait 'till you see the new line they will soon be offering us! At the beginning of November, we were at a photography conference in San Diego where we had the pleasure of being a part of a panel of photographers who's input was used to better this new line and we are SO excited for them to come out!

The design within the book is meticulously made by me, Alice, while the images were chosen by our couple, Heidi & Marty. This is actually THEIR personal book! We just received it in the mail and wanted to take these images of it for you all to see. Heidi & Marty chose the image on the cover and the leather color too. They did a great job with their choices! This book is truly stunning and I can't wait to hear from them once they receive it in a few days ;)

Here is a breakdown of their cost. Think of this as an investment! As I have said before, photographs are meant to be enjoyed and loved for years to come, and there is no better what to do this than by having them printed... either loosely as regular 'ol prints, or within a gorgeous archival book like this one. Also as mentioned above, many of our packages come with a book like this. And if your package doesn't, it can certainly be added on as a bonus product!

(These prices are current 2011 and 2012 prices. We reserve the right to increase them as our own costs increase year to year. We try our best to keep prices constant for at least 2 wedding seasons, but are obligated to shape their price according to our own changing costs. Please inquire with us about current pricing. Thank you for understanding!)

  • “classic” style has leather cover with 1 insert cover image & 80 of your favorite images { $950 }

You are beautiful! Give yourself (or your loved one!) the gift of boudoir photography...

A quick reminder of the possibilities being endless when it comes to boudoir... Contact me (Alice@MoscaPhoto.com) if you have any questions or concerns. I'll make sure you will be pampered, immortalized and having lots of fun ;) <3 And let your friends know too! We can even do a fun group rate for 3 or more ladies at once! The more you refer to us, the more incentives you get... Why? Because it'll mean that we can reserve a beautiful hotel room for a longer period of time and not be rushed out AND I love to thank my referrers with gifts ;) I LOVE photographing Portland Boudoir Sessions... such a personal and private time that I get to be a part of, knowing full well that the resulting images will be the perfect visual reminder of how beautiful you truly are. It can be a gift to yourself or to your loved one. Regardless... trust me! It's super fun! XO!

What a great surprise to wake up to today! Style Me Pretty (click it! :) has featured our styled shoot of Sam, a REAL bride who was styled and art directed by Misty of Luxe Event Productions, photographed by me of Mosca Photo and filmed by Karyn of Black Label Films. A huge thank you to the rest of the wonderful vendors involved in this shoot too! I've listed them all and they rock!

I say... why not spend more time in front of the camera, all dolled up, before your wedding day?! Or after! Why not? ;) Sometimes weddings can be hectic and us photographers may only have a little bit of time scheduled for a bridal shoot... but if we can organize to meet up another time, for some one-on-one  sessions, everyone wins! :)

Model: Real Bride Samantha, assistant editor at Oregon Bride Magazine (click to see this shoot featured on Oregon Bride Magazine's blog too!)

Fall colors & autumn decor at this Gorge Crest Vineyard wedding.

Another BEAUTIFUL wedding day at Gorge Crest Vineyard. This was our 6th wedding there (during this season alone) and it was the last one of the season for the venue itself. Well... we left the place with a bang! :)

The rains held off {as they always do when MoscaPhoto photographs weddings... seriously! It's strange but we have this crazy aura around us that seems to protect our couples' wedding days from rain. Love it!} Not only did the rains hold off, the fall colors in the surrounding trees AND the beautiful copper-red hair on Lisa, made this wedding bright and colorful and warm.

It was a moving day too: the first dance song they danced to is one of the few songs that Josh and I sing to each other lovingly... so you can only imagine the tears that were streaming out of me during it! The beautiful circular set up for the ceremony chairs, the colorful leaves and the bonfire really added to the general feel of peacefulness and unity. A beautifully unique-to-them wedding day.

Lisa and Chris are genuine people, in love and happy. We could tell when we photographed their engagement session and then again during their wedding day. The 10 hours went by very quickly and the whole day was perfect. Here is a sneak peek of it! Have fun in SE Asia you two!! <3
