Design A Bespoke Photo Album To Celebrate Your Wedding Anniversary


It's fairly safe to assume that almost every guest attending a wedding will bring along their own digital camera, smartphone or tablet capable of capturing images. The result of this will be that, at the end of the day, there will be a huge collection of images amassed and these, taken as a whole, will present a far more accurate and touching picture of the day itself than any official collection could ever hope to manage. Rather than the somewhat staid and posed imagery usually associated with wedding photo books you'll be able to enjoy candid images of moments such as the little bridesmaids hiding under the tables or granny throwing some shapes on the dance floor. When gathered together, these will form a chronicle which warms the heart each and every time you look back through it.

You might even call a volume of this kind a memory photo book, and the good news is that digital technology has meant that creating such a book is now incredibly easy. Most people are now familiar with the concept of online photo albums. In the past, a photo album would usually have meant a fairly scrapbook with the actual photographs physically taped or glued onto the pages. Not only would this not look particularly stylish but it would also wear pretty badly as the years went by. Storing your pictures online, on the other hand, keeps them safe whilst making them easy to share with friends and family all over the world.

Rather than creating photo albums in the classic sense, however, you can bring together the best of both worlds, by combining the flexibility of digital technology with old fashion top of the range production values. This allows you to design photo books for weddings which take the form of stunning bespoke volumes, produced to the highest standards whilst boasting genuinely personal content.

Actually creating the book is simplicity itself. The first step is to gather together all of the photographs from your wedding and then go through them selecting the ones which you wish to feature. The key will be to combine large, formal images such as group portraits with smaller, more intimate photographs in a manner which, when taken together, will present a fully rounded and totally accurate record of your special day. Once you've made your selection, you just have to upload them to the website of your choice and then set about designing your book. 'Designing a book' may sound like a complex process but, in truth, the software has been designed to make it extremely simple. You'll be guided forward one simple, logical step at a time, making choices over factors such as the size and shape of the book, the number of pages and the design and construction of the front and back cover. Having settled all of this, you'll be able to design the layout of each individual page, juxtaposing images for visual effect or laying out the events of the day in chronological order. As you'll be able to preview the book throughout, you'll be able to ensure that you're completely happy before actually opting to have it printed. When it is, the materials and techniques utilized will be of the highest possible standard, meaning that it will look stunning and stay stunning for many years to come.
