Re: POLL: Wedding Albums...
Part of our photography package was a lovely leather bound and matted album. We got it back about a month ago, and it's a beautiful keepsake. I also have the proof book and another album with candids and snapshots.
Note - I basically arranged the album with mats and then picked out most pics. I made notes about pics to ask DH about, and we spent about 1/2 hour making final decisions. If I hadn't coordinated the picking out, we would surely not have an album yet. Now.. we still have to pick out some enlargements because we get a combo of 5x7's or 8x10's with our package. I tried to get DH to help me pick last night, but to no avail.

Jen - I agree with you 100% It was overwhelming to pick for the album. Being a bad employee, I actually spent some of my last 2 weeks at my previous job going through proof on the internet and making a tenative plan/list for the album. Then, DH and I made a few joint tweaks, and we had it ordered.
It's a fun process, but it quite time consuming.
I just got mine last week! It took me forever to figure out what pictures I wanted in there. I still have to pick out the pictures out that I want printed...but I am waiting on my mom to pick hers out. I have mine picked out, the only thing I have to pick is a good pic of us to send as gifts for christmas.
our package includes all retouched images online, on disc, and an album. The photographers asked us to select our favorites from the finished images they have on the website (and they would add more from there)
We just submitted our faves 2 weeks ago. MIL is being a PITA about this whole thing, because we've already paid for 3 books, all identical, but she wants her own book with photos that she selects! (she thinks there are no good pics of her on their site). Finally the photographer said that she could create her own book, and part of the cost would be covered by what we already paid. It should be sometime within the next couple weeks that we are able to preview it and make our final edits.
