4 Factors To Consider When Planning Your Wedding Photo Book

After receiving your photos back, you shouldn't store them in a box or cabinet to collect dust. Instead, these priceless memories deserve to be shown in a lovely memento, like a picture book. We now need to figure out how to make the ideal wedding photo book, however.

With so many possibilities, choosing the best method to show your photos might be overwhelming. In this post, we'll provide you with the guidance you need to make the wedding photo book of your dreams.

Select and Organize Your Photos

Begin with your favorite photos before you construct your book. Your favorite photos are the ones that will bring you the greatest delight. Ignore your page or spread layout since you could default to what you "think" you ought to choose.

Include portrait and landscape photographs as well as images that were captured in both colors and black and white. You'll start to see your album's final design at this point.

Check Image Quality and Size

You can't be too certain, but your photographer should have sent your images in a high-quality image format. The ideal file format for printing is "TIFF," so first check to see whether the picture is in that format. If you print from a JPEG or other file types, the quality of your images will degrade.

Next, confirm that your photographs are large enough to print at the desired resolution. For instance, a 4 x 6 picture that will be published must have a resolution of 2 megapixels (MP). Multiply the image's height and weight to determine its MP. Right-click the picture and choose "properties" to see this information.

You should pick images that look fantastic at the biggest size since album sizes may vary from 6 x 8 at their smallest to 16 x 12 at their greatest. You'll have more to work with as a result.

Coordinate Color, Style, and Text

Throughout your album, there are additional visual substories that sit underneath the narrative of how the day played out. When arranging your spreads, consider the color, style, and tone of your album. Fortunately, you took care of most of this labor while choosing your wedding's flowers, clothing, and theme.

Text is another element of album design. The reader should only be used rarely since your pictures should talk about themselves. The page does not need to be filled up. Whitespace may give your photographs greater contrast, give them some breathing room, or add some diversity to your spreads.

Choose an Album Cover and Page Texture

There are many different sizes and types of softcover photo books and hardcover photo books. Most stores provide high-end leather, imitation leather, plastic, or painted metal. Additionally, you may choose which image will appear on the front and what information, like your last name or wedding date, will be included.

Consider putting a picture in the center of a luminous, cotton, or leather cover if you wish to combine the two approaches. Your photo book will be sturdy, personal, and fashionable as a result.

Additionally, you have the option of matte, luster, or glossy pages. Glossy is the most common finish, although refined luster is an alternative if you wish to reduce shine without dulling the pages.
