Your Wedding Album and what is included

• • The wedding albums included in our packages are 30 or 40 pages depending on the package you selected.
  • You may choose up to a certain number of pictures that will go into your wedding album (MUST HAVEs) – see the table below.
  • The following table illustrates the number of “MUST HAVE” pictures in your wedding album.

• You may select up to an additional 70 pictures (MAYBEs) to be considered to include in your wedding album, in which we will choose from to work with in order to come up with the final album design. The total number of pictures included in the final draft varies depending on the design, images, as well as the size of the album.
• We draft the design based on all your “MUST HAVE” pictures, and utilize the pictures from your “MAYBE” pool to create a flow in the overall design.
• The larger the book, or the more pages the book, the more pictures we generally include in both the “MUST HAVE” and “MAYBE” pools. We also reserve the rights to add pictures based on our best judgment to illustrate the story within the album.
• All wedding albums will contain at least the following 20 pages out of the minimum of 30 pages. The remaining of the pages will be flexible pages that make up for the rest of the wedding events or spreads of your favorite pictures

Tips on picking pictures

• Concentrate on selecting your top selections first.  Chances are you’ll end up with easily a couple hundred photos to begin with. It’s okay, take your time and try to narrow down to the images you ultimately best represents you and how you would like to remember the day.
• In order to make a good pool of selections, you’ll need some pictures from different times of the day – some from the preparation, ceremony, reception, and some family pictures and portraits.  Separate them into folders to help yourself organize if necessary.
• Pick out the “MUST HAVE” pictures.  These are usually your favorite bridal portraits, immediate family portraits, pictures from the reception, and a few favorites throughout the day.
• The “MAYBE” pictures generally would include pictures that compliment your best selections listed as “MUST HAVE”.  These pictures will help us outline the day and illustrate the story with the album.  Some detail shots, candid shots, or those pictures that you have a hard time letting go.
• The album should flow in a chronological order to look and feel right.  Go through your selection one last time and see if anything feels missing.
• Larger albums allow us more room to work with the design, and we would be able to include more pictures per page without packing things too tight.
• More eventful weddings call for additional pages so that different events aren’t packed into the same page. Below is a table of upgrade costs for your album.

Further Revisions

• If you would like to fully customize your album design, we offer two options:
  • You may wish to make additional small changes that can be done over the phone or email.  We can help you with these small adjustments for $50/hr.  We do not accept major design changes over the phone or email.
  • You may schedule an appointment with our album designer at our studio for a Custom Album Design Service.    Custom Album Design Service is priced at $100/hr with a 2-hour minimum.
  • Please email Sunny at [email protected] for any further information or to make your appointment.

Submitting your selections:

• Once you receive your USB Drive containing your wedding pictures, you may begin with your selection simply creating a folder on a cloud drive service like Dropbox or Google Drive. Copy all the photos of your selection and simply share with us the link.
• Alternately you can do it the old school method by jotting down the file numbers. Typically they look something like this: 176.DSC_6657.jpg
  • The first 3-4 digit number represents the sequence of your pictures, and the last 4 digits represent the file number on our records.
  • Please provide us with a list of the last 4 digitals separated by a comma. Sample: 3357, 3360, 3411, 3516, 6511, 6524, 3639 The easiest way to handle your selection is to make a text document on your computer, or simply jot it down on paper.
  • In some cases you may find variations of the same file denoted with a -2 like 000.xxxx-2.jpg, you can also include this in your selection to specify which version you prefer.
• You may email your selection directly to our in-house album design Sunny at [email protected] once you have chosen your pictures and she will work with you regarding the details.
