CIMG4152 copy 400

As Miss Jasmine has shown us, Indian culture is incredibly rich, colorful, and vibrant. Last summer, one of my best friends married his beautiful wife with a 4-day long celebration full of Indian traditions and lively dancing. I’ll share some details of the Gujurati garba-raas event, which took place the night before their ceremony and reception. It was amazing to watch and even more exhilarating to be a part of!

Most brides nowadays educate themselves on the different photography styles available. But did you know that there are several different album design styles out there?

There are many different approaches (traditional, modern, fun, etc), styles (colorful, minimalist, scrapbook-look, etc), and special effects (filmstrip, selective color, fading, borders, drop shadows, text, graphic designs, etc). Here, take a peek.. happy041

IV. The Mysterious Album and How to Get One

Although many of these album companies do not sell directly to the public, some are willing to do so. It doesn’t hurt to ask, especially if you seem easy to work with.

Sometimes, the professionals underestimate us brides. I never needed to contact my album-maker’s customer service at all, save once to ask for their price list. Perhaps, in time, album companies will realize that brides are resourceful and competent customers, and they will be happy to have our business. cool01

I also wanted to mention that most of these albums are not cheap. Furthermore, the companies will probably charge you higher than the wholesale photographer’s rate. But shop around for a few price lists and see what fits into your budget. In my opinion, a high quality album is the best way to present and preserve your wedding memories. For me, it was worth the price.

The Mysterious Album & How To Get one

August 21st, 2007 @ 4:49 pm by Mrs. Ant

I. DIY Album Design
II. Album Design Process
III. Pictobook Album

Reasons why high quality albums (such as flushmounts) are so mysterious:

  • Album companies do not advertise to the public
  • Many album companies do not sell directly to the public
  • Instead, many only deal exclusively with photography studios
  • Album companies are very protective of their price lists
  • The only way to see and feel multiple albums in person is at a photography trade show

Because of this, a bride & groom have very limited options. If they want a high quality album, there is essentially only one way to get their hands on one, and that is through their photographer.

Pictobook Album

August 20th, 2007 @ 4:13 pm by Mrs. Ant

I. DIY Album Design
II. Album Design Process

Having a high quality album was very important to us. We consider it to be our first family heirloom. In the far future, the 4×6 photos will be curled and discolored in a dusty box, and even the JPEG files and DVD video will be obsolete due to technological advancements. But our album will last for generations and be enjoyed by generations of our family to come.

After researching dozens of different album companies, I finally decided on Pictobook.

Album Design Process

DIY Album Design

When I first started our album design, I had no idea what I was doing.

I know I mentioned that Mr. Ant and I worked on our high school yearbook together, but the truth is we hardly knew a thing about current layout and publishing methods. Our yearbook club cropped photos by hand and used a dinosaur-age layout software. (Public school pride, baby!)

So, like I said. Noooo idea what I was doing. Until…

My dear friend Google showed me this video tutorial on how to use Adobe Indesign to design wedding albums!
