My Album! I went to the photographer yesterday and put the albums together, picked out leather for the covers, etc. i thought the way they explained the appointment that i would be sitting there doing the layout, but the designer just helped me weed out a few pictures, add a few different ones and put them in the order they will be in in the album. Now i have to wait about 7 months to get the design layout to approve it and then it will go to binding! i figured about a year to get my album, so this is just a few months over. we'll probably get our video around our anniversary, so that will be nice.
did anyone else add more pictures into their album then they had in their contract? i really tried to keep it down to 75, but i knew i would go over. then i thought the designer would help me weed out pictures, but i should have known they would just want my money! well i went over by 24 pictures and i'm paying about $700 more for my album now. i figured i would be paying $300-400 more, but was a little surprised at $700. I was surprised that my mom said just do it, it's your wedding album. I figured she would have gone crazy! but i felt better about it b/c my ILs paid for the photographer, so it's not like we're laying out more money. we're just adding to it! I didn't tell DH how much more though!

Re: I finally put together...
I haven't done my album either, it takes a full day to really shut urself at home to focus on picking and sorting out the photos. That is really expensive. Which photographer are you working with? I know Duet charges $25/per page. My album is for 30 pages, 60 images. If I want 70 images, it would be add'l 4 pages so an extra $100. You should ask the rate that they're charging per page just to make sure they're giving you an accurate price.

i'm using sherwood triart. They charge $35 per extra picture for the album, not by page. i wish it was per page!! i think it's a little pricey too, but it's my wedding album. I'll have it forever, so what can i say! I'm not the happiest about it, but i love all the pictures i put in it!

Re: I finally put together...
plus to make a dent in the price, i would have to take out at least 15 pictures and that might have been hard. it was hard to narrow it down to what i had! and i even took a few more out during the appointment!
