I am picking out the pictures we want and we are already up to 52. I think that is a lot and probably will be expensive. My photographer took like 500 pictures, there are too many to choose from.

We stuck with the basic package of 36. We don't have parents, though, so perhaps that would have added some to our list. Also, we weren't that excited about how they came out, so it wasn't that tough to stick to 36 and I couldn't see spending more on photos I didn't love that much.

Re: How many pictures did you have in your album?
Wow, that is a lot. I think I will maybe put a few pictures on one page, it will probably be cheaper that way, since they will be smaller picture. About how many pages and what type of pictures did you put on the same page (if you know off hand). Thanks.

Re: How many pictures did you have in your album?
You had a package of 36, what type of pictures did you pick? My problem is I want every close up and every kissing picture or every different spot the photographer took the pictures. It is so hard to choose. Not that the photographer did that great of a job, she was ok. I just like the hall and the views so much. Also, I have a large family, so there was so many pictures I have to have.

Re: How many pictures did you have in your album?
We contracted for 30 but ended up with 42. It is expensive to add on-- for us it was $15 a picture & to but more than 1 on a page is an additional fee ( we didn't end up doing that anywhere, just b/c of how the layout worked out)
I narrowed it down from 1,022 to 60 & then after seeing what my parents picked, I narrowed it down more, I'd just go back every few days & take out anything that was repetitive. I was trying to get to 40, but 42 was close enough.
We did, the program, me leaving my house, outside with the bm, outside alone, getting into the limo with my parents, DH & best man waiting in the church office, coming up teh stairs ( jsut b/c it was a cool shot) the grandmas, mom s & bms entering, dh & groomsmen watchignme enter, me & dad entering 2 ceremony shots & one ring close up ( actually a re-enactment), a coupel excited the church into the lobby & then 2 walkign down the outside steps of the church, a posed shot on the steps with BP, then one of DH alone, one of each set of immediate families, 1 sitting on a bench, 1 walking to reception, 2 first dance, walking to our seats after first dance best man giving toast, us watching, best man & MOH toasting, 2 extended family shots, full length cake cutting shot, close up of cake, close up of hands cutting cake, & we closed with a shot of walking away that was taken earlier.
ETA- do you get to keep your proofs? That helped me. I will make an album of those & I have the digital files so I may make some collages too.

Re: How many pictures did you have in your album?
Thanks for the info. I don't have a contract, so we didn't have a package deal. We are paying per picture, so it maybe even more expensive. Hopefully not though. I don't know if we get to keep the proofs, but they guy that owns the shop that we are getting the album from is a friend of DH's, so I would think so... I really hope so. I want to also, put some in an albums. I am going to find out.

70 PICTURES, we had to pay $400 more, but to us it as worth it not to have to par down any more than we already did.

Our official album has 36.
I scanned our proofs and made albums for both sets of parents and my grandma and I'm going to make a big photo book for us as well.

Re: How many pictures did you have in your album?
We were allowed 60 and that was for a digital album. I inquired about extra and it was $75 per photo so needless to say I narrowed it down to 60.

Ouch! Ours is a digital album as well, and it's $18 for each extra picture - which until now I thought was pretty steep!
Our package is 65 pics. We will probably add about 10 extra.
