Ah, don't you just love the term "à la carte" when it comes to weddings? It means ditching all the traditional bells and whistles and getting down the just the shit you really need, without the inflated price! And that's exactly the thinking that Jane had in mind when she created her photo retouching and wedding album business, A La Carte Albums.
Jane explains,
"My business is called A La Carte because it's all about giving people what they want — and not making them fit into a 'one size fits most' packages." …I want to bring that same care for quality and storytelling from the high-end studio to people who aren't interested in the studio's traditional style — or its traditionally high prices."
And while A La Carte is based in Seattle, Jane can do retouching and design for people all over the world. And one of those lucky people may just be the winner of a free wedding album or guest book…
OFFBEAT DISCOUNT: A La Carte is hosting a special giveaway for one lucky Offbeat Bride reader to win a free wedding album OR a wedding guestbook. Click here to see how to enter. But everyone can take advantage of their 10% design discount for offbeat clients.
So that means weather you want to just retouch that pesky wedding crasher out of three images, color-correcting all your wedding photos or producing an heirloom coffee table book that could stop a bullet… A La Carte is your one stop shop!

And Murphy's Law says right as this goes live, my host goes down with network issues. A La Carte will be back soon… I hope.

The link isn't working for me – perhaps their server has crashed from all the OBB traffic!

yay! I have been looking for something of QUALITY and wanted coffee table books for the important people (grandparents etc) unable to make it to the wedding. AND supporting local peeps AND Offbeat Bride vendors = extra awesome! I think I will be getting at least several of the books anyway but I hope I win!
