I hate doing my wedding album layout!!!!

I swear it's taken me so long just to narrow down the pictures!! Now I have to figure out how to arrange them!!! Any suggestions on how to make the process easier???

Re: I hate doing my wedding album layout!!!!

First my MIL went through them (I had them in albums to make them easier to look at) and she put little stickies on the ones she liked the best. Then when it came time to start the album design, i just did it chronologically. Every page had a different theme or idea... like me getting ready, walking down the aisle, etc. I also looked at other peoples albums to get ideas as well...

good luck!!

We narrowed down all of our proofs & then my photographer sat with us to create the lay out. Does your photography company help with that part? I did give them a lot of creative control & it the album lay out proof came out beautiful!

We drove our photographer nuts. We gave them the pictures to use but did not give them enough pictures to use as background pictures. We had to go through all of the proofs again. Make sure you do this is you are doing a magazine layout. It will make your life much easier.

Yup. thats exactly what I mean. Look in my community album for my layout. Though not all of the pages are there.
