The photos from your wedding deserve to be taken off the computer screen, and celebrated in a timeless style that you and your loved ones can all enjoy. Here’s my pick of the best wedding photo albums.
There’s a good reason why people call wedding photography an investment. And it’s because you may not see the benefit of it on your big day. But long after, once the confetti has fallen, you’ll discover just how incredible it is to have professionally taken photos of your wedding. Photos that deserve to be showcased in a special way. Wedding photo albums offer the ideal place to relive memories, and discover parts of your wedding you may not have even seen, or remembered.
We live in an age that revolves around the screen. Be that mobile or desktop, our world view day to day is lived through a screen. And this is how we experience the majority of pictures from loved ones. We WhatsApp photos from birthdays to each other, and share our holiday pictures on Instagram. Never once considering whether any of them should be printed out. These photos live solely on our screens, without ever being given any kind of real importance.
Your wedding photography should be celebrated, and should be treated differently to other photos. And although it may seem tempting to leave your photos on ‘the cloud’, trust me, eventually you’ll want to browse them in real life. Fortunately, there are so many wedding photo album options out there these days, and it’s never been easier to print your digital memories. With so many brands, and companies out there, all offering their take on the perfect photo book.
The Best Wedding Photo Albums
To help you find the best wedding photo album for you, I’ve compiled my list of favourites. Brands that offer value for money, and an album you’ll be proud to pass down for generations to come.
MILK
If you want your memories to have premium presentation, MILK books will be ideal for you. Their wedding photo albums are renowned for their quality, and adored internationally.
MILK photo albums are priced quite highly, but what you get in return is real quality. A book that’s sustainably created and luxurious feeling. Their designs look like coffee table books, and as you flick through the pages, it feels like you’re browsing something elevated beyond the average wedding photo album. There’s even leather-bound options available, alongside countless other modifications that can be made.
Putting together your album is also an effortless experience. Their online building process is so easy to use, and allows you the opportunity to place each photo on the page yourself, or have MILK suggest a layout for you. Either way, you’ll be creating your wedding photo album in minutes, and previewing how it’ll look before you know it.
Wedding Albums
An award-winning, Irish photo book designer, Wedding Albums are ideal for those who want their photo book created for them. Unlike the company above, these guys do everything for you, based solely on your instruction, and their experience.
Simply send them your photos, with as much detail on how you want the album to look as you like, and they’ll present to you a preview of your album. From there you can re-arrange, change and edit as you wish. But most couples love the layout and design created by their team so much, they barely change anything at all! For those who do want to make changes, the process is so easy, and their intuitive website makes the journey from upload to preview, effortless.
There are a wealth of design options available via Wedding Albums, and the cover options are delightfully premium. With leather, linen, velvet and suede all available to choose from. And there’s a range of different packages available, offering bundles of 3 books, in different sizes – ideal for those with close families who want parents to have their own album.
But before you can get a Photo Album, you need a Wedding Photographer!
