Re: DIY wedding album/photobooks??
I am guessing you may not be too familiar with photoshop???
I know there are sites out there, and I can't remembed off of the top of my head, but some girls have used them for many things on here. I would try to do a search on here. Although, I am sure someone will give you the right answer soon lol

mpix.com uses a really good quality printing process for their books (and photos in general)

Re: DIY wedding album/photobooks??
I actually used Shutterfly to make photo books for my family and DH's family for Christmas gifts. I didn't get them yet, but I think they came out amazing if I do say so, myself My parents and his get an 18-picture album from the photographer but I put waaay more than 18 pics in these books! I really like Shutterfly but I am also not too familiar with other sites out there.

we used mypublisher.com and they have sales all the time. I made an engagement book for our wedding and they had a buy one get one free so I had the same book printed for DH's parents.
My publisher has lay outs for you and its drag and drop, super simple. They gave you a certain number of pages for the flat price and they charge for additional pages, just read the fine print.
If you have any questions please feel free to FM me.

i used photoshop/indesign then blurb to print. Blurb has a nice program that gives you templates if you don't know how to do layouts and the printing is great!

I used shutterfly to make a book of engagement pics, it came out awesome and was very reasonably priced.

I haven't actually used them for photobooks but www.mpix.com makes them. They're professional grade lab that's open to the public. I order my prints through them and they use the same high quality photo paper as my photographer. They are more expensive than the other online places, but the quality is much higher.

I have been using shutterfly. We are getting the album from the photographer that is included but for Christmas we are getting family albums. I really like the layout of shutterfly-simple to put the pictures in and change layouts and reasonably priced. I have already ordered one from them and I love it. I get coupons from them all the time too. Good luck! I signed up for snapfish but I didn't love the layout of the site and how you put pictures in. FM me if you have any questions.
