Since Daniel shared tons of fantastic photo album tips over the past two days, let’s continue with that theme, shall we?
Stephen and I did receive a professional wedding album, but I also decided to create a DIY collage-style book combining photos from both of our professional photographers, including my friend Damien, who shot our “getting ready” pictures, and our guests. While our pro album is more like a highlight reel, showcasing the best of the best, the Shutterfly album includes hundreds of pictures that offer a fun look at every aspect of our day.
I won’t lie and say that creating it was simple, because with nearly 500 photos to work with, this project took me a couple months to complete, and the finished 75-page 12 x 12 album cost well over $100. But I think it turned out great, and I can’t wait to give 8 x 8 copies away as Christmas gifts this year. Check it out!
Next, I'll share our DIY engagement album. Have you ever made a photo book using Shutterfly, Picaboo, or a similar site?

Cute album, and great gift idea! We are nowhere near compiling our album - at this rate, that will need to be a project for the new year. We did a DIY album via iphoto on my MacBook for our engagement photos. The quality isn't the best, but the album is cute and serves its purpose!
I absolutely love my shutterfly albums!
WoW!! You did an amazing job!! LOVE it! I have never made an album with any of those...maybe I am going to for our family vacation to Florida next year!!
This is great, you did a nice job. I made two albums for the mom's for xmas of all the pre-wedding festivities pictures like the showers, engagement party, rehersal etc.
You did a wonderful job on your album!
I love it! You did a great job. I made a DIY engagement album through Picaboo and I was really happy with how it came out.
I still need to create ours! Its a work in progress! But I love yours! Such beautiful photos! :)
