Different wedding album

Kristin, on August 1, 2019 at 9:06 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 3 22
Hi all! Is anyone using a different company or service to put your wedding album together post ceremony? We've decided on our photographer, but are debating which package to choose. The one she offers that includes an album is $500 out of our budget. So if anyone has advice on putting your own album together, I'd love to hear it! Thanks!

    Following because I’m wondering the same thing. I hear good things about Shutterfly and someone mentioned another but I can’t recall! I bet others on here will help 😊

    Well be making our own because our package doesn’t include one either. But I will tell you to make a professional grade album, it will definitely cost you at least a few hundred dollars. If you’re not worried about the quality as much you can make much cheaper ones on Shutterfly and those types of sites however.

    Check out the free photo books app. They offer a free book per month if you pay shipping. They also have upgrade options. 😃

    Our photographer's package with an album is also out of budget, so my plan is to use Shutterfly or possibly buy one from him after the wedding if we can afford it then. The advantage of having the photographer do it is you know it will get done, I have a tendency to procrastinate and with the sheer number of pictures I'll get back I can see myself getting a bit overwhelmed.

    I've looked at this one, but the free books are so tiny!

    I think we will be looking into Mixbook or maybe Snapfish. That, or wait a year. My mom (for my sister) got a wedding album made for her for their first anniversary for Paper.

    You can upgrade to make it a little larger 😃 the one I have is 8.5 by 11. I guess it depends on how big you want it to be.

    I’m making my own. I got a cute book and sheets to hold the pictures in. And I just brought the prints that are 4x6 because they were a good price. I didn’t want to go through Walmart because sometimes they get messed up when printing.

    Our album is included in our photo package, however we’ll be making our parents albums off a website. I’ve heard good things from MPix, supposedly a lot of photographers use them for their prints. Sign up for their emails for deals. I’m going to get our engagement photos printed through them and test them out.

    I highly recommend adoramapix.com for making the album. It allows you to play with custom designs and layouts and it is professional quality. There is a slight learning curve and it takes a lot of time to create, though. Mine was about 44 pages and cost around $300. I'm going to try to link my album here for your review.

    We only hired our photographer for the pictures, not the album. We will be doing our own album after the wedding.

    Thanks for sharing your album! I was considering making an album through them and had a few questions if you don't mind. Were the pages thick like professional albums? What size album did you order for that price? Do they ever had sales on the albums? I created one on Shutterfly, but was hoping to make a more professional looking one and still trying to decide what the best option is.

    Our photography package includes a wedding album, which we are keeping for ourselves. We are thinking about creating similar albums for the parents using Artifact Uprising. We used them for our wedding guest book with our engagement photos and loved the result!

    You can definitely make your own for cheap. Shutterfly and Walgreens always have promos!

    The pages were very thick. The site is geared towards professional photographers which is why there is a learning curve to figure out the design layouts. But the result is beautiful and worth the time. This was the 10x10 Hard Cover Hudson Album. They have sales occasionally on the site in general, usually anywhere from 10-15%.

    Can’t afford a professional one from my photographer so I bought a beautiful one on etsy! I just ordered it so it’s not here yet but that’s what it looks like. We can take our time filling it with our favorite pictures.

    I created an engagement album on mixbook and I had no issues. I didn't get the highest quality album possible though. It was easy to use and I was happy with the result!
