We received the rights to our pictures and want to get our photos developed ourselves...can anyone recommend the best place on line or local store to purchase I proffesional looking album? thanks!

Re: wedding albums or scrapbooks

  • As far as prints go I just got mine on Shutterfly because I wasn't really concerned with them as much as an album. I made my album on My Publisher and I LOVE it! I get a ton of compliments on it all the time. I got their largest book, about 30 pages and I got the dust cover. I received 2 copies of the same book and with shipping and everything it was around $80 a year and a half ago.

  • Someone made mine for me at My Publisher.  It turned out really well. 

    I had negatives (not a CD) so I took mine to a professional lab, Robin Imaging.  They did a great job. 

  • I'm not sure if you want to design it yourself or have someone else design it for you. If you want someone to design it for you I suggest:

    AMAZING stuff and I know the designer.

  • I used mpix.com for printing my photos.  They were as good or better than the ones my photographer used.  I have used Shutterfly and mypublisher for photo books in the past.  They were good, but I want higher quality for my wedding book.  I plan to use mpix.com for that also.  How sad is it that I have been married four plus years and have not done a thing with our photos?

  • I can't speak for the quality yet as I haven't ordered a book yet, but I'm designing my own book on Picaboo's software. I downloaded the software for My Publisher and a couple others but liked the ease of use with the Picaboo software. Click here for book pricing, styles etc

    I've recently priced out a book I made with our Honeymoon pictures and it was around $60 for 30 pages, Linen Cover,  (some of which were 100% picture and no background etc).

    They are often running deals on % off entire books, or reduced rates on extra pages. (Right now they have 25% off any order until 10/30). I'm holding out for Christmas as they have a 50% off promotion about that time of year.

     

  • I made books for our Moms on Picaboo but I have yet to make anything for ourselves.  Picaboo now has the thick album pages and special covers but those albums can be up to $500.  I'd rather have a professional design my book if I'm going to pay that much!  Blurb is supposed to be good.  I started a book with them but their layouts are pretty basic.  They seem to be geared more towards people who know photoshop or are good at design.

  • Mpix is a really great place to have your photos printed and it's open to the public, even though a lot of photographer's utilize it themselves.

    As for albums, Mpix offers them as well but I don't have personal experience with them. If you don't mind spending a little more, Forbeyon is open to the general public (I believe) and they're quality is amazing. They have 3 different book options to choose from.
