wedding album ?

How long did it take you to order your album?  I feel like such a slacker that I havent given my choice of pics to my photographer yet.  Did anyone else wait a substantial amount of time before ordering theirs?  TIA

Re: wedding album ?

  • I was obsessed with my pictures and had my album order in less than 48hrs after my proofs came in the mail, lol. I know that is not typical but just remember -- the longer you wait to put it together the longer it takes to me made.

    I've heard so many stories of brides who still dont have their albums back 1 yr + after their wedding. The photog has other people to work with so the longer you wait, the longer the line becomes to have it done.

     Just pick a Sat or Sun and sit down with all of those proofs!!!

    Here's how I did it:

    1) Went through all proofs and took out pics I KNEW I didn't want. Set them aside.

    2) Went through all of the pics I kept and seperated them into: before ceremony, ceremony, after ceremony & reception.

    3) went through piles again and allowed myself a certain # of pictures to keep from each pile, set the rest aside.

    4) Went through that pile again and made up my album, 2 parent albums and 12 brag books.

     

    Good luck!

  • We had 3 albums with our package. For the main album, I picked the pictures out within a week of receiving our proofs. For the other two (flush mount coffee table album) and a 4x6 album, it took me much longer to decide. You'll get there.. it's just a little tedious.
  • I got married in May 2008 and didn't order my album until March 2009. So you're not a slacker!
  • I just emailed my photog about our album.  It took me 7 months.

  • I have yet to do it and don't think I have any time in the near future to do it either.  I should really hand the task to my mother.
  • We did ours as a 1st anniversary present to ourselves. I knew if I didn't do it within the year, I never would.

  • I did it within a month or two of the wedding and we had ours by August.  I knew if I didn't get it done right away I'd keep putting it off.
  • I handed my picture choices over in March and I went over to approve/make changes in April and I'm still waiting.
  • We were married in November.  Although I have thought about the album I have no inclination to actually start the process.  It can wait.
  • I took my time. I think I've completed everything on my part (selections, proof revisions) but I haven't received my album yet and my wedding was almost a year ago.
  • We had a great album included in our package and have yet to pick out all the pictures for it and probably never will unless our photographer calls or sees us around.
