Guide to Wedding Photo Albums

by James B. Markus

The only real difference between modern wedding photo albums and versions from fifty years ago is that they would have contained monochrome images; technology has started to give us alternatives though! Probably the same etiquette that dictated how the bride’s mother was shown in the album will be used today so you can expect to see her as the first photo in her wedding dress. After this photo there are usually a few images of them somewhere close by that provides a beautiful backdrop to really show them off.

Next of the photos you will find in a modern wedding photo album will be one with the wedding party dressed in their finery. Many close friends and family go to make up this special group without whom the day would be incomplete like the best man, the father of the bride and bridesmaids for instance. Next the images of the bride with her bridesmaids and other attendants that helped her on the day.

After these shots are taken it will be the turn of the bride and her family, then the groom posing with his family. Wedding photo albums are generally large bound examples that contain pictures that are bigger than usual on pages that may be inlaid or embossed. The vast majority of wedding photo albums are presented in white with images like bells and bouquets displayed and often embossed on the cover of the album.

It is just as important for the contents of the wedding album to impress and this is achieved by clever display techniques that show the day off at its best. Most modern wedding photographers will also be able to supply in digital form on a cd or dvd. Most modern couples will have both the traditional album and the newer digital versions together because unlike the former, compact discs etc. can hold hundreds of images.

It is now becoming more common for the bride and groom to make a cd rom thereby providing a digital wedding photo album available to every guest as a permanent reminder of their special day. There are a number of benefits to this because not only can the images be viewed as normal but also printed out in the traditional manner at home or at a regular photo printing store. Modern technology has improved upon the albums from long ago with the addition of pictures available on the latest ‘digital photo frames’.
