Any tips for quality wedding albums?
I don't want to pay $1000 for a stock album with fancy leather. I'd rather have a sweet looking album for a fraction of the cost.
Any tips?

go to AC Moore and look in the scrapbook section. That's where I bought ours. I assume you're putting it together your self.

I had an archivist make one for AU$450.
Its old skool acid free paper and you use those photocorners to hold the photos in place.
Works well

iphoto?

i thought about iphoto, but my fiance is looking for something a little more traditional. (using real photos, placed on thick paper)
I checked ebay, creative memories, overstock... nothing cool. Red Envelope had a pretty cool one though.

how about one of those iphoto books

ours is built into the cost of the photographer's fee, i believe. she is giving us a few options on albums she prefers because of quality of paper and mattes, durability, etc.

hey mayo... i agree, but my photographer doesn't seem to offer albums.
and, besides, i'd like to cut costs if possible.
any more?

geez just hit the art store, get a nice scrap book and a package of photo corners..
there's so much of this kinda unique product in specialty shops now, i'm sure you could DIY.

what horton said.
and what i kinda said earlier.
these don't seem like tough items to create oneself.

.. and get creative with it.
some hand-embroidery on the cover would be nice...
or use a machine and zig-zag stitch the photos on the pages...
etc etc.
