Finally choosing pictures!!

We started this so many times...   We need to pick 56 pictures for our album, from nearly 600!!   I have it down to 180 :)  Now to get it down to 90 or so it's easier for two of us to narrow it down.  

 

 

Re: Finally choosing pictures!!

  • Good luck, it took us forever to narrow down our picture selection, every picture seemed to important to not include. In the end I uploaded all our pics into a file, then broke them down into sub-files (i.e. pre-ceremony, getting ready, ceremony, etc) and from there I could compare pics better and see which ones were really similar and have a good variety from all aspects of the day

  • I went through them with my mom last week for her album- and we wanted EVERY picture with my dad... and she wanted EVERY picture of my nieces and nephews... we would have needed an album with 5x as many pictures (she gets 16 in hers)!!   I just started doing what you suggested!  I realized we kissed, a lot, all day!   
  • You are still ahead of me.  I need to pick the pics and design the album....online.  Haven't started b.c. I know it takes a long time.  Hopefully, that can be my summer project!!
  • Good luck!  I'm impressed with anyone who is doing this or has done it already.  I like the idea of making it my summer project.

  • I didn't read the other responses but we looked at photos that were really really similar and picked the best one.

  • Kudos to you!  Good luck.  DH and I STILL need to do this.  I keep saying every weekend what we should do it, and we never get around to it.  I'm starting to think maybe I should just go ahead and do it myself...

    This!  We had a bunch of similar ones so we just picked the best of them.

    Also, we decided not to include too many family photos and party pictures.  We think we may make our own album on shutterfly at some points with these pictures.  Really, our album highlights OUR day, from getting ready to our reveal to the formals, then the ceremony and reception.

    We (I) weeded out a bunch-  the bridal party pictures going down the aisle and entering the reception did not turn out that great.  We picked our family pictures and a few of the bridal party. I e-mailed the photographer today, and am just waiting to hear back to clarify some things about how many pictures we need to pick.  I think I will need to make a series of shutterfly type books so we can see all the pictures!!  

    I love the simplicity of my parent's album-  from 1960.   They have a few formal shots from inside a studio,  but most are completely candid and catch great moments.   There is one of my mom walking into church, in the rain, with my aunt and her best friend taking care of the dress, and my uncles holding umbrellas.  I love it! 

     

  • I am so glad to know I'm not the only one behind on this!  We got our pics in September.  I finally got DH and my parents to sit down and look at them over Thanksgiving.  I didn't get around to emailing our choices to the photographer until a month ago.  She emailed me back right away with cover choices, and I finally got back to her with that on Sunday.  We had to choose 120 out of 1248!  Good luck!!!
