The perks of sticking with your photographer is that they can better assist you in putting your wedding album together. Many photographers, like us at MKEshoots Photography also offer printing services including printing albums. You want to keep it simple and not add a lot of graphics or other imagery to the album that may take away from the photos. Stick to wedding albums that represent your wedding ‘size’ and theme. A portrait of the bride and groom, parents, grandparents, shot of the venue, are all great examples of single images per page. I mean you’re the MVP of the whole production! You don’t want to take the focus away from certain important shots from your wedding day. FOCUS ON SINGLE IMAGES PER PAGEįor example, when adding a portrait of yourself and your partner (aka the bride and groom), you don’t want to add other images to the same page. You want to put a lot of thought into it and make sure it comes out just as you expected! 6. Focus on one spread or one part of the event at a time. So, it’s safe to assume that the one wedding album is there to stay. LAY OUT ONE SPREAD AT A TIMEĭon’t rush when putting your wedding album together. Similarly, try to stick to this concept, one shot that gives viewers an overview and one close-up of the same thing. But anything more than that, would be an overkill. For example, you only need one picture of your dress and possibly, one close-up of your dress. Try to not add more than 2-3 images of the same thing. Choose images that easily speak for themselves. You want your wedding album to be concise and not overloaded with images. 4 CHOOSE PICTURES THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES You want it to be an inspiring story book that tells the tale of your wedding for many years to come. Think of your album as a visual board that tells the story of your wedding and your love as a couple.
Most likely, your photographer will have also sent you your photos in the order they were shot AKA the order that events took place in. Think in sequence of how your wedding happened. Going through hundreds of wedding pictures can seem like a difficult task. The longer you wait, the more difficult and daunting the task will seem. We cannot emphasize this enough! There are couples who get it done right away, on the other hand, some couples take years to finally getting around to printing a wedding album.
