Looking back at a memory reminds us of how much one has changed as a person; this evolution is a part of life. Similarly, the way we preserve our memories has also changed. Remember, our parents’ wedding album? How it was all about the stage pictures and other “posed” photos — and how the album was made by inserting every picture in the space provided? Just like our memories evolve, so have the the way we save them. With progress in printing technologies and design, albums today are\u00a0more like a coffee table book and are capable of telling a very different kind of story.<\/p>\n
So, if you are a couple or a photographer, designing albums is one job that can leave many of you confused and wondering what’s the best way to do it. If you are looking for the answers to all your questions then look no further!<\/p>\n
Well, that\u2019s what the wedding album is for. Reminding you of your story every time you go through it. Nowadays the design of your wedding album is also completely in your hands so you can decide what you want and who all you want in it. The main challenge lies in photo curation and the story flow.<\/p>\n
Photo Selection & Curation:<\/strong> This is one task which can be really vexing as you will be tempted to select everything, but to get a good story out of it, try to only choose the pictures which you absolutely love (that means, you can ignore all the uncles and aunties you don\u2019t like). Well, maybe not ignore completely – but choose images with people in it who mean something to you and ignore the urge to try and just “fit” everyone in!<\/p>\n Layout for Story Flow:<\/strong> Once you have a carefully curated selection of photographs, the next challenge lies in deciding how many pictures go on each spread, in which order and in what priority. The trick, here, is to view each spread in isolation and as a part of the whole.<\/p>\n
