As an apartment-warming gift for Mr. Bruschetta (and, let’s face it, for me too!), I created a coffee table book of our engagement pictures using Shutterfly. Sister Bruschetta had recommended the site after her experience arranging her own engagement pictures in a similar keepsake.
Sifting through the 600+ photos we received from our photographer was the first challenge; having complete control over the format and layout was the second. Fortunately, Shutterfly is completely user-friendly, and even though I don’t consider myself particularly design-savvy, I’m very pleased with the finished product.
Our photographer — and her second shooter — captured moments so quickly that some of my favorite shots have I only slight variations among them.




I chose to arrange the photos chronologically, so flipping through the book is like reliving the afternoon Mr. Bruschetta and I spent posing, laughing and kissing in the city. Since I opted not to include any captions or text — outside of the cover page with our names and the date and locations of the pictures — I sought to create a layout that helps tell the story of that day. At times whimsical, at others simple. I could see this being a great way to create a photo guestbook, but have other ideas about what we’re going to use for that purpose!




Did you create a book of engagement or wedding pictures? And, what’s your favorite photo site?
