Maine & New Hampshire Wedding Photographer // Designing Your Wedding Album
As a wedding photographer, one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is guiding couples through the process of transforming their cherished memories into tangible keepsakes that will last a lifetime. Today, I'm thrilled to take you behind the scenes and share the journey of designing your wedding album.
The journey begins after the delivery of your online gallery, where you'll have the opportunity to relive every moment captured on your special day. Once you've had a chance to review all your pictures, it's time to start envisioning your wedding album. While some decisions may seem daunting, like selecting the size and page count, most couples opt for the grandeur of a 15x10 album with 100 pages.
With the size and page count chosen, it's time to dive into the exciting task of curating your favorite images. While it may be tempting to include every photo from your gallery, I always advise couples to be selective. After all, the goal is to create a cohesive narrative that captures the essence of your day without it being overwhelming. Typically, I suggest couples narrow down their selection to around 100 images. Nobody wants their album to end up looking like a yearbook.
Once your favorite images are chosen, it's time to bring your vision to life through the design process. Using online proofing software, I meticulously craft each page layout to ensure that every image is showcased in its best light.
After the initial design is complete, you'll have the opportunity to review an online proof of your album. This is your chance to provide feedback and make any desired revisions to ensure that the final product exceeds your expectations. With up to two rounds of revisions included, you can rest assured that your album will be a true reflection of your love story, down to the smallest detail.
As the design process nears completion, you'll have the option to choose your absolute favorite image for the cover of your album. Whether it's a romantic portrait, a candid moment, or a breathtaking landscape shot, this image will serve as a captivating introduction to your wedding day story.
Once the design is finalized, your album is sent to a professional lab to be brought to life. Using the finest materials and printing techniques, each page is meticulously crafted to ensure the highest quality and longevity. The result? A stunning heirloom piece that will be enjoyed and cherished for a lifetime—a tangible reminder of the love, joy, and laughter shared on your wedding day.
