Wedding Albums – Why get one?
Many engaged couples book their photographer and only order the digital images. Usually, this is because they are on a budget. Once the wedding is over what do you do with the USB of images? Can you frame the USB? Can you place it on the coffee table to look at? In other words, getting a wedding album is something tangible to keep from the day. Many people spend more on the wedding cake than the photographer and the cake gets eaten! Half the time some of the cake is thrown out. What about the expense of alcohol? The guests drink it and it’s gone.
The bride and groom need to prioritise what is important when they are budgeting for a wedding. Above all, the only enduring thing after the wedding is the photos. Everyone waits in anticipation for the photos so they can relive the special day.
Wedding albums are expensive but they are a great investment. A friend of mine had a wedding album created 4 months before she divorced. She wanted it for her children.
Historical Record
Not only does a wedding album allow you to relive the beautiful moments but it is a historical record that you can hand down to your children. My Grandmother’s wedding album is beginning to fall apart but what cherished memories are in that book. I grew up looking at this album with my sisters. We would look for all the people we knew. As time passed we would look for the people who were no longer with us. As a result, it was a record of our family history. For instance, my great uncle that had died 20 years after the war having never recovered from a sniper’s bullet, a great aunt who had died in childbirth. All these memories are recorded in Nanna’s wedding album. Don’t let your wedding day go undocumented. This is your history.
Today’s wedding albums are created on archival paper and guaranteed to last for a minimum of 75 years (make sure you choose a wedding photographer that is offering these quality albums!)
