Was anyone not happy with the album layout when they got it? I just received mine in email format and I'm just not that happy with it! I love my proofs so I'm kinda disappointed. We paid for a 75 image album and there are only 56 pics in the proof. We gave them a couple extra pics to use as backrounds but I didn't think they would take out that many. (and I counted the backround pics in the 56) I don't even know how to respond to the email! Did anyone else feel this way?

Re: Album Layouts
you should be able to make changes to the album, i had 20 pages. I wasnt 100% happy with all the pages, so i told the photogrpaher and we worked on the pages for weeks till i was completely satisfied, now I LOVE my album

Re: Album Layouts
I know I can change it but they wrote let me know if there are any minor changes and I feel like there are major changes that I want. I guess I'm more disappointed that I didn't like it then anything!

You used Thomas Paul also right? Thats who mine is through even DH was like the album is very plain nothing really stood out to me but I feel bad going back and saying I don't like it. I know I'm paying for it and will fix it I'm just trying to think about the best way to go about fixing it. How many pictures did you get in your album? Im still really upset that there isn't 75 in there thats one of my major issues.

hmm...well the amount u were promised should be there.. so that i would definetly bring up to the editor. Maybe it has to do with the type of album u picked?? I know all of the pictures we chose were there.
as for the editing there is nothing wrong with speaking up. Tom is a great guy and an amazing photographer..but he doesn't put the layouts together..his editor does. so just talk to her. let me know how it goes & i'll let u know how mine goes too!

Re: Album Layouts
Don't get me wrong I loved Tom and he is great I just was a little shocked when it wasn't what I expected! I thought the same thing that it might be the album but why would he tell me that they would do 75 images then maybe it was just a mistake I am going to go over the pictures that I sent them tonight so I can see whats missing. I just really needed to vent about it but now I know I have to move forward and fix it. I know Thomas Paul will make it right!!

Re: Album Layouts
I made a bunch of changes to my album wen i first got it! I thought the photographer might be mad but I changed backgrounds, pictures and picture colors and sizes...it's your album so make sure you make it like you want.

This is what I am going through now.. I got my first album proof like 2 weeks ago, and just gave them my list of changes, what I wanted like different colors, backgrounds, and photo sizes. Don't worry, you are the customer and everyone has different tastes. Just tell them what you want done. They've been through this a million times. Good luck!

Re: Album Layouts
When I got my album layout, I loved it at first. There were a few things I wanted to change. And as I thought about it more, they forgot 4 pictures. I know 4 pictures aren't that many but they were some of my favorite pictures. I went back and told them that he forgot them and I wanted them added.
Please don't be afraid to tell them what you don't like and what you want changed. You paid a lot of money for this and you should be happy. You will only have 1 wedding album.
PS: It took us 2 months going back and forth with the designer to get it the way we wanted it.
