Since we’re talking about your wedding album, it’s no surprise that choosing your favorite photos is the most important step. The problem starts when you have more than 1000 images to choose from, and then it becomes a little more complicated. To make things easier, first, try reducing them to about 200 images. Concentrate on the people you love most and the moments that make you smile. The process can be simplified if you divide the photo collection into categories. Once you have completed the catalog step, select the best photos from each category. This is how you can create a story of the big day, and your wedding photo album will look wonderful.
2. The perfect story
As I have already mentioned, a wedding album can capture the being of the event as it was, especially if the pictures are arranged in chronological order. Making it simple is doable, and the results will make the book even more amazing. You must start with the first part of the day and from there try to present all the major events. I recommend dedicating up to 2–3 pages for each central part of the wedding, and for each page to 2–3 images that perfectly cover the part of the day, as they are interrelated.
3. Cover, Cover, Cover
Yes, photography is the most important thing on the wedding album, but you can’t forget the cover. With the right cover, you and your family will enjoy picking up and opening the album again and again. You can choose a fabric color that you have always loved or a picture.
4. The first impression
Yes yes, we are talking about this moment in the distant future when you open the album with your children and share them in the floating memories of that forgotten era. So don’t forget to choose your most impressive and favorite photo as the first photo of the album.
5. Leave it to the professionals
If you feel that it is too much work, that you do not have the time, or you fail to meet the task for another reason, it would be much smarter to use the professionals. The photographer and/or the designer who works together can produce the most professional and amazing album for you in a relatively short time. All you have to do is pick your favorite photos and at the end of the process check out the draft and give feedback on the wedding album. This way you can be sure you will get the album you have always wanted.
