Why Wedding Albums Are Totally Worth It
Wedding albums have come a long way with new materials and modern finishes. Some people love them and others don’t really see the point behind them. In this entry, I bring up some ways an album can enrich your life and those around you. Read on to see if an album is the right choice for you.
Something tangible - A wedding album provides a tangible keepsake for your memories. Unlike digital files, physical albums allow you to flip through the pages and relive the moments in a more meaningful way. It reminds you of the experience every time you pass by it and begs for you to take a closer look.
Legacy - Wedding albums can be passed down through generations, creating a lasting legacy. Your children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren can appreciate the beautiful moments captured on your wedding day. I know, for me personally, looking through my parents wedding album showed me glimpses of who they were before I was even a thought in their mind. It allowed me to see them in a different light than what I was used to. This sense of individuality would only grow with later generations.
Display - A professionally designed and printed album adds a touch of elegance to your celebratory moments. High-quality printing and an interesting layout can enhance the presentation and improve the flow from one event to the next.
Storytelling - An album allows you to tell the story of your wedding day. With carefully selected photos arranged in a chronological order, you can narrate the events and emotions just as they occurred. This brings an added level of importance to the celebration as everything is handled with the highest care and attention.
Personalization - Wedding albums offer a level of personalization far beyond a typical online gallery. With so many choices in cover material and layout you can rest assured your album can faithfully represent who you are as a couple.
No digital worries - While digital files can get lost, corrupted or simply forgotten over time, a physical album remains a reliable and timeless keepsake. You won't have to worry about technology changes or compatibility issues. Your album will always be there, available for a short or lengthy stroll down memory lane.
Sharing - Wedding albums can be displayed in your home allowing you to share your joy with friends and family whenever the time is right. It becomes a conversation piece that you’ll find yourself bringing out again and again.
Quality - Professional photographers typically offer high-quality album options as part of their services. These albums are crafted with precision and ensure they will stand the test of time. I know the albums I offer are museum grade inside and out. With the best papers and inks you can rest easy knowing your memories are well protected for future generations to experience.
As you can probably tell, I am a big believer in albums for a number of reasons. The biggest being the simple belief that our grandest celebrations shouldn’t exist solely on a hard drive that’s bound to crash one day. When we bring things into our physical world we raise them in importance. I think your wedding is well worth that importance.
