Inspired Album Designs

Susan was a pleasure to work with, she created the album layouts in just a few days and was very responsive to edits and questions. Definitely recommend!

Susan's work is amazing. The book was so creative and authentic. It will be a permanent keepsake of memories that will last a lifetime from a very special time. I would recommend Susan to anyone.

Susan did a fantastic job with our album. I sent her a disc with our favorite wedding pictures and she turned around a beautifully created draft album in no time at all. She was always quick to respond to my emails as well and very flexible when I wanted to change a picture or add more. I would highly recommend her services.

Susan was fantastic to work with! It was such a relief to have this process be so simple and straightforward. I didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on wedding albums from my photographer and choosing Susan to design the albums was an incredible value. Susan's designs met my high expectations! She even found discounts from several printing companies so I got very reasonably priced parent albums as well. She posted the album so quickly and made my requested edits within a day or so! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

While searching the internet I randomly came across Susan's website and after great research picked her as the one to put our beach wedding photo album together.

In the beginning, I sent all of our wedding photos to her and from there she instantly sent an email over to me starting to lay it all out. I must admit that when we first got started that my initial thought was "Oh, that is just so easy to do. I should have just put the whole thing together on my own rather than pay someone to do it."

Well I have to tell you that it didn't take long after that for me to come to the conclusion that I jumped the gun on that thought. I totally have no regrets in hiring Susan, she was absolutely amazing to work with and my husband and I absolutely love our album.

A brief list of reasons why you too should have her put your album together:

FAST/QUICK - Susan was always so fast at making changes, adding photos, fixing photos and rearranging things. Every time I requested a change she'd email me back usually within 24 hours or less with the change or addition completed.

TALENTED/CREATIVE - There were a number of times that I had somewhat of an idea in my head but, I wasn't exactly sure how to really bring the idea to life. After briefly describing my ideas to Susan she was always able to bring the idea to life for me. She absolutely blew me and my husband away a handful of times with the end result that she had come up with.

PRICING - When I located Susan off of the internet her pricing was reasonable and affordable compared to a few other individuals. In the end the total amount I paid actually left me feeling a bit guilty as if I owed her so much more for all of the hours and hard work she put into our book.

PATIENT/FRIENDLY/UNDERSTANDING - Susan is so easy to work with. Believe me when I tell you that I changed my mind far too often back and forth on things. She was always understanding about it and told me more than once that she had no problem making changes and would do so until the album was exactly the way I wanted it.

HELPFUL - By the time the album was finished I had yet to make up my mind about the book and company I wanted to have print it. Susan offered up all kinds of information and details about the different options and companies available which really helped me to finally make a decision.

To sum it up, we love our amazing, awesome wedding album. I am soooo glad that I didn't try to put our book together on my own. Look no further and just hire Susan.

Susan Gallagher, from Inspired Album Designs, helped me make the most wonderful photo book I could have imagined. When I started the process with her I was intimidated by what seemed to be the vast array of choices to make; the variety of designs; the culling through of hundreds of photos and my lack of my time to do any of it. Susan made it all simple and easy. She led me through a process that allowed me to have creative choices and input, but she did all the heavy lifting. The process was made fun by her and she had amazing patience when I changed my mind or was late in getting back to her. She has an ease of design and a visual aesthetic that made the book look and read like a personal expression of myself. The result was not some canned or standard template of a book that one often sees. The result was intimate, unique to my event, and an expression of me.
I can't recommend her more. Her artistry allows one to take significant events and memories, and store them in a manner that conveys those feelings forever, and in a way one can share.

I used "Inspired Designs" for a wedding album. Our friends were getting married in Aspen and they were the couple that has everything, this wedding was a second marriage for both. I could not think of anything unique and classy to give them. Then Susan suggested a wedding memory book, but I thought my photos would not be good enough because of the pocket camera I used and the difficult lightening ( it was very bright sun that weekend). Susan reassured me with the professional printing and her design we could make my photos look great. And sure enough she was right! I could not believe the quality of the photos and the design. I tried to design my own book on shutterfly, but when she took over it took the book to another level!! My friends received the book and LOVED it! Thanks so much for all your hard work with this special gift.

Susan's work was amazing. She helped me out 2 years after my wedding, when I had a loads of pictures and no album for my special day. She helped me think through the whole process, made excellent suggestions and was a real professional. My wedding album is stunning and I get compliments on it all the time. I would gladly recommend her.

Susan was wonderful to work with! I didn't have a lot of ideas about what kind of book I wanted, and she helped to guide me to what I wanted. We had multiple revisions, and she was extremely flexible and receptive to our changes. Susan was very easy to get a hold of via either phone or email. She always replied quickly and changes were posted within a day. Our book came quickly, and it was even better than we expected. It wasn't cheap, but the book proves why. It's definitely a high-end product and what a wedding album should be - stunning! I highly recommend Susan. She was terrific to work with and did an incredible job!

I just wanted to post my enthusiastic feedback about my experience with "Inspired Album Designs" in order to help brides who are looking for a way to save money on their wedding album but don't want to give up their dream of having the most incredible and beautiful album one could possibly think of! My photographer’s album package was so expensive that I started researching alternatives. It pays to look around. I used a graphic designer (Susan Gallagher of www.InspiredAlbumDesigns.com) who specializes in wedding album design and it truly was the best thing I ever did. Susan was such an amazing, skilled, sensitive and patient person to work with! Her design was so original and creative and my album is absolutely gorgeous, plus she wove in a lot of my favorite non-professional pictures. And her per-page rate was super affordable. She also helped us choose the right flush mount album type from different vendors and ordered it for us for a total price that was hundreds of dollars less than our photographer’s quote. You just have to make sure your photographer gives you rights to your photos first. Well, dear bride, following my advice will make you enourmously happy!

Working with Susan was fantastic -- she was very responsive to my requests and preferences, communicative regarding product details such as timeline and pricing, friendly to work with, and, most importantly, produced a gorgeous album! I would highly recommend working with her.

I had randomly stumbled upon Susan's work while browsing the internet. I did not read any reviews or have anyone tell me how good she was. I trusted what I found of her work online and asked her to make a wedding album for me and my husband, and for each of our parents. I knew from the first few e-mails I received from her that she was a true professional. She was always responsive on email and on the phone, her work is amazing, she has great talent and I look forward to recommending her to my friends and family if they are looking for an album that is more professional looking then one that I could make myself! Though it is more expensive then making your own album online, I will say for sure that her services are well worth the money.

I am thrilled with the photo book that Susan designed for me and my husband. She is very creative and selected the best and most appropriate photos from the many jpgs that I sent her (our photographer took over 200 photos and there were so many I could never narrow the selection down myself) and arranged each page with so much thought and design. It's such a keepsake book that we will treasure forever.

The process was very easy and we found no problems communicating what we wanted even though we only spoke by phone and emailed proofs back and forth. I highly recommned Inspired Album Designs.

really really great stuff! would suggest it to everyone :))))

After much research on albums (knowing that my photographer was going to be super expensive and not overly responsive), I came across Susan's website on Wedding Wire. I had a certain type of album in mind (flush mount) that is not typically available for brides to order directly and I knew I didn't want to take on designing my album myself. Susan was great to work with and went above and beyond in helping me figure out options for my album and passed on the direct costs of ordering my (flush mount) album. Her design was great and she was super flexible and quick, while putting up with my several rounds of changes and figuring out layout options. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a professional album and great design at a lower cost than what your photographer is probably charging.
