Your wedding album is one of the most important mementos of your big day. It's the one you're most likely to show other people and the one which you will pull down the most often when you want to remember your wedding. Your photographer will probably be taking tons of photographs and you should select those for the wedding album which feel right to you.

INSTRUCTIONS

    • 1
      Select "official" photos of the bride and groom together. These are the centerpiece of the wedding album and can be used as the opening photographs on the first few pages.
    • 2
      Plan a page of the wedding album for the wedding party in three different permutations. You want photographs of the entire party, which includes the bride and groom, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. You also likely want photographs of the bride alone with her bridesmaids and the groom alone with his groomsmen on their own pages.
    • 3
      Get pictures of the bride and groom with their families: parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters and any aunts, uncles or cousins in attendance. You can break this down the same way you break down the wedding party photos--one set of the bride and groom together with both their families, one set with the bride and her family and one set with the groom and his family.

      Select pictures from the parts of the ceremony and reception which are important to you. Most wedding photos should include photographs of the vows, at least, but you may also want to include images of the two of you leaving the church, the toasts from the best man and maid of honor, cutting the wedding cake, the tossing of the bouquet and garter, and any other part of the event which you want to commemorate. You should speak to your wedding photographer beforehand about what you want covered and solicit his advice for how they should be choreographed.
    • 5
      Include a few pages for less formal photographs. While the bulk of the wedding album should contain planned images taken by your photographer, it's nice sometimes to include pictures from the reception taken by friends or off-the-cuff shots of people dancing or celebrating taken on the spur of the moment. Some couples place disposable cameras at each table as a way of gathering such pictures, or simply ask any friends who brought cameras to send them copies of the pictures they took.
