Photo Books as Wedding Gifts - July 16, 2008

As a photographer, you may not specialize in taking photos at weddings, but that doesn't mean that when a friend or family member gets married you aren't going to be taking your fair share of photos as well. Printed photo books that collect your best shots, scans of the couples' invitation, your thoughts about the event and comments made by others in attendance can allow you to create a unique gift for the couple - something that they'll treasure for years to come.

Now, that's not to say that your printed photo book will be designed to replace a traditional wedding photo album, it's not. But there are things that you'll be able to capture that the photographer hired for the event might not be able to see.

For example, the wedding photographer will stage shots that he or she poses every couple into; your photo book can be more playful - catching the bride or groom in one of those looks that says “this is ridiculous, we'll never buy a print of this.” The hired photographer may take photos of the bride during the processional, you can include the stunned look on the groom's face as she walks down the aisle. At the reception, you'll also be able to include more candid shots.

Don't you think that those memories will be as valuable to the wedding couple as the professional album might be? In some cases, you just might find that a well-planned photo book offers them even more of the memories that they want to be able to capture and keep fresh forever.

What Do People Say

Laura, from Underwood, WA
"I just loved my photobook. The color of the photos is just great! I started my photobook last Saturday afternoon and put over eighty photos in the book, finished, proofed and placed the order Sunday afternoon. Now I have the book, this is unbelievable! My husband could not believe I made such a professional book myself! I will definitely make another one for my mom soon. Thank you! "
