Pro Wedding Album Question

How involved was your photographer?  Ours basically just gave us the possible layouts and we have to choose which photos we want (obviously) but decide what order, on what pages, and how many on each page.  Like I'm making my own scrapbook, but he puts it together.  For some reason I have the impression that most of your photographers did the organization for you.  Thoughts?

Re: Pro Wedding Album Question

  • I sent our photographer a list of pictures with ideas for grouping them together.  She did the layouts and added or subtracted pictures as necessary to make it look good.  Then she sent me all the layouts, I made 1/2 dozen changes or so and sent it back and now we are waiting on the printer.  I could have just sent her a list of pictures and left it at that but I asked for about 20 more pictures than she wanted me to, so I attempted to organize them a little bit too, plus I'm sort of a control freak and I knew what I wanted it to look like anyway.

  • I sent our photographer long lists of shots that we both liked, and starred a few must-haves. After that, I left it up to him. He chose the final shots, did the layout, and sent me the proof.

    I had quite a few changes to that, added and dropped a few photos, changed the order a bit, etc. and he made them right away. I am THRILLED with the final result!

  • I did not see anything until it was done.  We had a bit of a miscommunication because I thought I would have some say in it but it worked out in the end and I was really happy with it.  We also have the rights to our photos so if I didn't I would just make my own to show people.

  • I'm giving him a list of around 40 of my favorite photos and he's handling everything from there...
  • She asked me to pick 60 photos.  The only direction she gave me was to remember that you want to tell the story of your wedding.  I sent her my list of photos and she made the layouts.  I just my layouts the other day.  I love what she created for me.
  • I picked 70 photos then she arranged them. I then added comments to each page and she made changes. We are currently on version 3 and I think it's almost there. She was REALLY involved, which I loved.
  • He asked for a list of 100-125 of my favorites, and if I could "organize that list", that would be great.

    I gave him a list of 5 "MUST HAVES"; 20 "Faves/Preferred"; and 100 "Likes". (We had about 1,000 photos total to choose from).

    He did everything from there. I've got it already -- leather bound, thick pages, the whole nine yards. :-)

    PM me and I can share the link with you.

  • I don't know how to PM people....I'm so lame
  • We just gave our photogs a list of 55 pictures, they then organized them and did all the layouts. I was pretty happy with it, and onlyI made a few changes.
