When you get married, you'll doubtless hire a professional photographer to chronicle the day and create a wedding photo book which you can look back on for years to come. The resulting volume will doubtless be lavishly and luxuriously produced, and will feature high quality images of the day's biggest moments - things like the happy couple cutting the cake or taking their first dance together, the bride throwing the bouquet for some lucky guest to catch and the group portraits of various members of the family gathered together. The only drawback to a wedding album of this kind, in fact, is that it actually is extremely easy to predict what images will be featured, rendering all the different albums of all the different wedding more than a little same and homogenous.
The truth, however, is that every couple is different, and every wedding is an individual reflection of these differences, a day upon which the personality of the happy couple is magnified and expressed on a grand scale. The fact that you can make photo books online means that it is now possible to break out of this straightjacket and produce an alternative album, perhaps to go alongside the official volume, which will truly capture the people you are in visual terms.
All of which brings us round to the search for effective Valentine's Day gift ideas, and the fact that a book of this kind, which transports your other half back to the day you swore to stay together, and does so in the most romantic way possible, makes the perfect gift for the person you care about the most.
If you pay a visit to a digital photo developing site, you'll find lots of different Valentine gift ideas, all of them allowing you to use your own images in the creation of a beautifully produced object or item. The one thing they all share is that, despite having a 'hand-made' ethos, they are put together using the very best materials and state of the art techniques, making them more than a match for the equivalent items on sale in the shops. The digital photo books you can create, for example, will be printed on high quality paper, thick and glossy, and bound and covered to a luxurious standard.
To create a touching and heartfelt gift for Valentine's Day, you could collect together all of the images captured on the day of your wedding. The chances are that almost everyone who came brought their own digital camera along, and can thus contribute images of their own. Even if you've been married long enough to per-date the digital era, older, more traditional photographic prints can be scanned into your computer and saved as digital files, thus making them perfect for the purpose. By looking through the images you gather together, you'll be able to select those which capture the smaller, more intimate moments of the day - shots of the bride and groom enjoying a private giggle, for example, or of a rotund uncle going back to the buffet for one last plate full. Printed between two covers, these images will bring the day back in all its glory and emotion, and will provide the perfect romantic reminder of why you chose to unite as a couple. Actually creating your book has been boiled down to a few simple steps.
Once you've uploaded the images to the website of your choice, you'll be able to work with software which reduces the design process to a series of quick and simple choices. The size, shape and length of your book, as well as the make-up of the covers, is in your hands and designing the layout of individual pages is a simple drag and drop procedure.
