An Instant Photo Guest Book For Weddings Video!

by Lesley Mattos on August 12, 2010

Thanks to the generosity of our fans and customers, we were able to incorporate real life photos of our wedding guest book albums in use at six different weddings.

Click on the image to the left and see the first of what will be many videos that will appear on the Adesso site to help visitors get a sense of the instant photo guest book experience.  And if you know anyone that’s getting married and looking for an alternative to the traditional guest book, share it with them!

Next we’ll tackle the baby shower, and will be looking for real life photos of showers where the Adesso Album Instant Photo Guest Book was used.  If you used one, or know someone who did, send your photos to casting@adessoalbums.com.  If we use ‘em, we’ll send you a check for $25 – just ask Stacy, Erin, Angela, Jenine, Heather and Sarah whose photos were used to create our wedding video!

The Best Photo Guest Book Album on The Market!

by Lesley Mattos on August 5, 2010

That’s what Sara Wolfram of OneLove Photography in Pasadena, California called the Adesso Album in her blog this morning!

Sara saw our albums a few years ago at a client’s wedding, and to this day thinks “they are the coolest way to have your guests include their instant photos in your guest book.”  Now that’s a pretty high compliment from a professional photographer!

Because she already had a lot of Polaroid cameras and (very pricey) film, Sarah purchased a lavender Adesso Album for Polaroids which she will use for her DIY photo booth at her upcoming wedding!

But as Sara points out, you don’t have to have a Polaroid camera or the expensive (now past its ‘use by’ date)  film to go along with the one you do have to experience an instant photo guest book.

FUJI Instax instant cameras and film, and albums to go with them are sold on the Adesso site and are the exact same concept as Polaroid.  Instant photos + handwritten notes from guests = instant memories of your wedding, birthday, baby shower, anniversary or retirement party – a unique guest book for any of your life event celebrations!

We’re giving the Adesso website a little facelift and are looking for some fresh photos of Adesso Albums in use at an actual events – like Helen and Dave’s wedding over there.

And the best part is…

WE’LL PAY YOU FOR THEM!

If you’ve got a picture from your wedding or baby shower, birthday, anniversary, graduation, bachelorette or retirement party, a quinceanera, bat mitzvah or any other event where the album was used and photographed, we want to see it!

If we use your photo on the site, we’ll send you a check for $25.

That’s REAL MONEY!

Here’s all you have to do:

  • Find a picture of the Adesso Album in a party setting
  • Send it to casting@adessoalbums.com in .jpg or .jpeg or .gif format
  • Include a brief description of the event and how the album was used, and your mailing address so when we choose your photo we’ll know where to send your check!

It’s just that easy!

Deadline for entries is August 20th!  Giddy up!
