A Very Hogwarts Album

Share

As it turns out, the Hogwarts party we photographed was so memorable, our clients had to preserve it in book form, for the ages! They ordered a 10×10 hardcover AsukaBook and an 8×8 duplicate, which includes a sleek black case with gold embossing, as well as a glossy custom-designed dust jacket. The page designs were created in-house exclusively for the client. Who wouldn’t want to show off this awesome album, especially when the holidays roll around and friends come to visit and reminisce about such an unforgettable event!

Matt and I photographed a number of events produced by Simply Mumtaz this year, however I think the this event at the Biltmore was my favorite. So much golden deliciousness.
