Creating Wedding Photo Books

March 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Using Professional Photos

Most wedding photographers are willing to provide a digital copy of your wedding photos on request and these are the most widely used wedding photos for creating albums and photo books because of their professional quality. Check with your photographer before the big day and if your wedding day has already passed and you only have paper print pictures then don't panic because you can scan these on your computer and still use them to create a heartfelt and beautiful looking wedding photo book. http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/books/photo-albums.aspx

Adding Your Favourite Photos Taken By Guests

Most guests at weddings nowadays have their own digital camera and most modern digital cameras offer very high quality photos. These can be combined with professional photos for more candid shots and pictures of the guests that you might not otherwise have access to. Ask guests to provide their favourites either by email, on memory card, or by uploading them to your computer or laptop. Alternatively, use an online file storage service so transfer the files from computer to computer.

Choosing A Wedding Photo Book Style

Photo books come in A5, A4, or A3 size and some sizes include the option of landscape or portrait pictures. Choose the one that best suits the photos you have – this is especially important because the standard design of a photo book offers borderless printing on every single side so that no white border or white space is left around the images unless the crop of the picture demands that gap.

Customising The Design Layout

Choose a single photo to use on the front and back covers. Alternatively choose a second photo and have this printed on the back cover and your original choice on the front cover. Choose between 30 and 80 photos to print on the sides of the photo book pages or create your own more complex and more unique page designs that utilise a greater number of your wedding photos.

The Presentation Box

A presentation box is an effective way to offer more protection to your most prized photos. The photo book itself is designed to last and be used for many years thanks to high quality materials but accidents around the home can still happen – choose a photo and have it converted into the lid of a presentation box that ensures accidents won't permanently damage your wedding photo book.

Photo Guest Books

Another variety of photo book is the photo guest book which is especially effective when used as a wedding guest book. Choose a photo of you and your bride or groom and have this printed on the cover of the book and then choose the headings for the columns inside the wedding guest book – a great looking and convenient memento of who shared your big day with you and an ideal way  for guests to give you a brief message of congratulations. http://www.bagsoflove.co.uk/books/photo-books.aspx
