Hi All, I am considering offering my services to my sister for her wedding. Only reason I havent already is I dont want to mess it up for her.
Assuming I get over the fear of messing up and finalise a plan for the shoot, I will need to print and create a nice conmtemporary wedding album. Can anyone advise on how one would traditionally go about this?.
Are there good Wedding album providers who you would send your images to for printing and creation of the album , or is the approach such that you would print yourself and purchase an album seperately and complete yourself . Not quite sure how to proceed and certainly want to before my services are offered…
if you want to go the cheap route for try photobox.ie premium photo book, i have seen them and are of good quality, others would be Loxley Colour or http://www.thepoppypress.com,
I’ve shot my first few weddings over the last year, for albums I’ve been using Loxley Colour’s Perfetto Albums. You design the layout using their software, they might have an option to design the album for you for a price but I’m not sure. I found the software easy to use & something people keep mentioning about the albums (comparing them to the older style slip in album) is the layout option to have a horizontal image run across a spread. They are high quality look and feel & all my couples have been really impressed by them. They are not the cheaper option but definately worth the money in my opinion.
As for the fear you mentioned, it deminishes with experience. Every wedding I’ve shot has made the next one easier & more enjoyable. Just plan well, know what you need to get, when you need to get it & you’ll do great.
