I knew I was too busy to get to it so we told the photographer to choose, and it came out beautiful
Otherwise I probably would not have an album till now...

Our parents did it for us Smile

Otherwise I don’t know, could be years Smile

About the video - my children love watching it. They can see our grandparents and their grandpa who passed away since . And lots of other relatives who live in Israel (we left Israel when out oldest was 2 years old) . So the video and the album are very important for us .

Pick pictures and order a wedding album??
My wedding was a few years ago and I haven't ordered my album... (Which my in laws paid for so I feel so guilty!!!) I want one so badly but bH Juggling a lot!!

How long did it take you to order one? How do you have time and patience to go through all those pics and narrow it down??

We got ours about 10 years after we got married. We got married in a city where we don’t live, and for some reason the photographer insisted that I come in person.

We did it right away, like 3-4 months after our wedding and got the albums about 6-7 months after our wedding. I let my mother and MIL choose which pics they wanted in their album, and then we chose ours.

I knew that if it's not done right away, it will never get done. So we didn't play around with any pictures or do any fancy shtick, collages, borders, touch-ups, etc. We just chose the pictures and gave in our order.

My in-laws picked up the proofs so mil chose her pictures immediately. My parents followed, and we chose ours last. We got our album about 5 months after our wedding.

I haven't looked at it in years. My kids do, though.

My parents didn't pay for a professional album so we had the pictures in a regular album.
For our 10th anniversary I surprised dh with a custom album done digitally graphics and all.

Did I mention pictures were the only thing I cared about from the wedding??

Sorry to hyjak the thread ... I just had to get that out of me...

There are plenty of people who can make you one. Don’t sit and complain, do something about it.

I got mine almost a year about we got married.

I just sent the go ahead and print email yesterday. It's over 2 years since my wedding, 1 baby. got 2 large albums of 500 5x7 proofs, took many many sittings to sift through and choose 100 pictures and back and forth emailing and calls for corrections of the layout loads of times.

wish I wouldve done it right away but glad im done now.

they also told me at the photography place that most ppl do acrylic photos on the outside. hope it comes out nice!
anyone have that?
