Asking yourself if a wedding album is really worth it?

Fully aware of how biased I am, I’m going to give a super confident ‘hell yes, a wedding album is totally worth it!’ I hope that by the time you finish reading, you will feel as excited as I do about having your very own unique wedding album. Trust me, it’s going to be your best investment yet! 

Why should we invest in a wedding album?w to look good in wedding 

Simply put, your wedding album is your legacy. This treasure will be passed down through your family for decades to come and is a real, tangible account of a special moment in your lives. Think of your wedding album as a family heirloom that can be enjoyed without having to sift through hundreds of photos on a screen. Your family and friends are not going to regret asking to see your wedding photos! 

Moving with the times

When I got married, we received all our photos on a disk as well as a wedding album. It makes me sad to say that I think we have looked at the images from the disk only a handful of times. That disk now sits in the attic somewhere collecting dust – my current computer doesn’t even have a disk drive any more. We’ve been married ten years this August and I can honestly say that most of my memories now come from the photos we have in the album.  I love the feeling of getting my wedding album out and flicking through the pages again and again. I’m right back there in the moment and I can still remember the conversations that were happening as the photos were taken. It’s allll about the feels.

Storytelling at its most beautiful

THIS is why I love providing my couples with a wedding album to treasure. I know how special it is to be transported back to those moments. As a wedding photographer, I pride myself on being a storyteller. I want to tell the story of your day and what better way to showcase this than in a stunning, unique story book.  When designing a wedding album, your photos are transformed from a scrapbook, into a beautifully curated masterpiece. I love the look and feel of the covers, the textured feeling of the pages and honestly most importantly, the way they make couples feel when they see their own story presented beautifully across the pages.

But is a professional wedding album really worth it?

As your memories sadly and inevitably fade from your wedding, the story of your day will live on through your album. You can pick it up at any time and be right back in the moment without having to remember an online password or lose access to them. Your wedding album becomes a slice of history; a valued family heirloom that you can look at and enjoy for the rest of your lives. You will be proud to show your beautiful wedding album to your nearest and dearest and, by investing in one of the albums I offer, they will absolutely last a lifetime and then some. 

Nothing compares…

Ask yourself what you think you are going to value in your wedding photos in five years. How about in fifty years? Are you going to remember the story of your day as vividly as you would do in the year after your wedding? An album of your favourite images is going to take you right back there and become such an important part of your journey as a couple. As with everything in life, it is ALL about how it makes you feel.
