panda, I''d look into the photog... some don''t let you keep the images... which is messed up.. and the images are more expensive than the albums.. so I''d check that out!
That said, the albums ARE nice... but it sucks when you have to pay for every single photo...![]()

You have to pay for your photos too?Really?![]()
Why didn''t I know this?
I''d start by looking at online services. You can pick a template you like, upload your photos, arrange them a bit and they''ll print and ship it to you. Most cost around $50 and it is well worth it.Date: 1/30/2009 4:17:19 PM

This is a great question, Panda08!
I''m facing the same predicament. We do have digital images, so I am leaning toward printing them off and assembling my own album, but I really don''t know where to start. If anyone has ideas, that would be great! For example, where would I get a pretty album for this purpose (Target?)? How should the photos be attached (is it with a plastic sheet, or some other way for fancy albums)? Do you put other things besides the pictures in it? I know nothing about this (pretty obviously!), and haven''t seen a lot of others for ideas, so I can definitely see the advantage of having the photographer figure it out, if the cost weren''t an issue right now. Hopefully I''ll get on this project pretty soon because I think it would be great to have some kind of keepsake album for memories.
It''s worth noting, that in Australia, if you hire a professional photog to take your wedding shots, you are entitled to the copyright as they are photos of yourself, however, most photogs will write into their contracts that you turn the copyright over to them and they have rights to use the pics. If you purchase a disk of images or album etc, then the copyright is given once again back to you to use and prints those pics (of course, due to the contract the photog can also use them).
I never knew this until reading up info from our association for photogs in Australia. I am sure different countries would have different rules, but it''s worth reading the fine print of your contract and finding out what your rights are regarding copyright issues.
And I would have to disagree, just because you don''t want to pay top dollar to have a pro album done, doesn''t mean you should get a pro to take the shots and do your own thing with them. There is a vast difference between good pro shots and a friend taking them. I am yet to hear of someone that is truly happy with the pics taken by a ''friend'' at their wedding.
