Wedding Albums – The Best Way to Commemorate Your Big Day

 

 

Why a Wedding Album is the Best Way to Commemorate Your Big Day

You’re planning to tie the knot with the most awesome person in the world, and you’ve found your perfect wedding photographer and are about to select your ideal package. A wedding album isn’t part of the bundle, and you’re debating whether your budget can shoulder one.

The short answer is: it should. The short reason is: your wedding photographs deserve a place to call home. Here are five other reasons why an album is the perfect choice of wedding memorabilia to commemorate your big day.

Seeing your wedding day come to an end is a bittersweet moment. You’re now married, which is great but also aching to relive your favourite moments – how many can you honesty remember?

Scrolling through photos on your phone, tablet, or desktop doesn’t do the essence of your Big Day any justice. While handy, there’s something a little disconnected about accessing memories through a USB drive or logging into an online gallery.

On the other hand, there is something unique about the high-quality feel, look, and scent of a freshly-printed wedding album. A book is unique only to you and your partner, and something you can fondly reminisce about page by page.

There is nothing quite like the heart of a leather, wood, or vinyl-bound album that captures some of your most significant life events.

Commemorate Your Big Day with an album

Reason 1 – You’ll Have Something to Share with Family and Friends

While you can look back on memories with friends and family through a digital slideshow, there is something homey about being able to lay an album flat on the table, crowding over your favourite moments.

Reason 2 – It Tells a Story

You can put the “fairy tale” in “fairy tale wedding” with a storybook of your best memories. From knotting your hair into an updo and slathering on layers of waterproof makeup to survive an inevitable waterfall of tears to walking down the aisle and dipping a cheeky finger into cake icing, you can relive your Big Day as if it were right in front of you.

While you can arrange and print a photo book yourself, your photographer should be more than equipped to position and layout your photographs with a thoughtful eye. Not to mention, there is nothing more magical than the surprise that comes with turning every page.

The quality of photobook developers available to professionals also blow the cheaper options out of the water.

Reason 3 – It’s Something to Treasure

Something about having to keep a wedding remembrance safe and secure is what makes it precious. It’ll travel with you throughout generations and can even make for a heartwarming display over your fireplace mantle or bedside table. You can pass the book onto your children, much like a visual memoir.

Reason 4 – It Makes for a Unique Wedding Gift

If you have room in your budget to print miniature albums for friends and family, it’ll be an excellent way for them to relive their cherished moments with you and your partner.

From saying yes to the dress to the ring on your finger, planning a wedding takes months—or years!—and in the blink of an eye, it’s over. With a wedding album, you can  commemorate your big day and revisit every minute as if it were only yesterday.

Family Portraits and How Important they can be

Family Portraits and How Important they can be

Many people are easily overwhelmed by the thought of preserving their family history. You may not know where to start as you stare at the family photos piled up in your living room. You are not alone in this; preserving family photos and making them heirlooms can be a daunting process for anyone.

How would you feel if you look at your family portrait ten years from now with your grownup kids and see no picture? It’s hard to imagine, but that’s what happens when you don’t make the effort to record your family in that moment of time. That is the primary goal of family portraits – to transform images into heirlooms that can be treasured forever. We all want to treasure our family as it is right now, and create memories that will last for a lifetime.

Imagine looking at your family portrait, and all you see is a special place and time you once cherished in your life. You see the memories, the connection and emotions rushing back in like the waves of the ocean. You see the ones your heartbeat for staring back at you. Yes, that is the feeling an ideal family portrait helps you to nurture.

For those that have lost their loved ones, staring at a well-captured family portrait might prompt them to say, “Each time I look at these photos, I feel dad is still with me.” Or maybe it’s all about remembering how cute and little your children were back then.

Family Portraits as Heirlooms

As a professional family portrait photographer, I have a keen interest in storytelling using images and words. Family portraits can become heirlooms when there is a secure connection between the family photo and the story behind it. Years to come, as you share these portraits with other family members, you subconsciously create more stories that deepen the connection and unite the family even more.

Family portraits connect us to those who were born before us. When we go through these photos, we are reminded of the things that matter. It makes us travel back in time and discover details that were long forgotten about our family history. As we hold these photos close to our hearts, we desire to pass them on to other generations. Thus, we are preserving our family history subconsciously out of love.

Heirloom photography is not an old-fashioned phenomenon. The timeless quality they possess radiates more meaning as time passes. You can use it to capture special moments in your family history, and show it to others. So when you look back to it, you can’t help but cherish how far you all have been together as one united family.
