Putting together my wedding album

Putting together my wedding album

So my beautiful proofs came in and now i have to pick 40-50 pictures for the album. I was just wondering how everyone layed out the pictures, like did you include pictures of the cake or the bride and groom individually, or did you do more groups shots of everyone in the wedding, etc.
i know it needs to tell the story of our wedding but i am a little overwhelmed how to organize it.
Thanks!!

Maybe you can look at other albums, that will give you an idea. Mine haven't come in yet, so I am not at that process.

I'm in the process of designing an album in photoshop so my photographer can send it to the guy who makes flush albums for him and have it mounted... I'm not done yet, but what I've done so far is here:

Re: Putting together my wedding album

i like the idea of telling the story of your day by the order of your pics. my proofs are in order, so that will help guide me. maybe ask your photographer for suggestions.

eta i will do individual shots of us as well as group shots. like for the cake, i will have a pic of us cutting the cake, him feeding me, me feeding him, us kissing after that. i think that captures the moment nicely.

Ugh, this is SO hard! We get to choose 120 pics and we can't narrow it down. We want to tell a story as well, since we are getting a 'storybook' type album so we don't want to leave anything out. Here's my order (there are a few pics for each category):

Me getting ready (makeup, putting dress on, me alone)
Seeing DH for the first time
Pics around OWG (veil shot, walking away, BP, limo, etc)
Then at the beach (only 2)
Family shots (lots of these...)
Pics of ceremony & coming in on the yacht
Pics of reception (cake, kissing, dancing, first dance, dances w/ mom & dad, etc...)

We got so many candid shots that we LOVE and it's so hard to choose!!!
