Your wedding photos will probably be one of your largest wedding investments, and you want to be able to cherish those moments forever…or look back at a picture of your grandma busting a move and crack up! Having your wedding photos on Facebook is all well and good, but wedding photo albums can be a great (and tangible) memento of the most important day of your life. If you’re not much of a DIY’er, here are some great resources for buying or creating wedding photo albums online. Whether you’re looking to drop a small fortune on a traditional leather book or hoping to find something a little more modern (and inexpensive), there are endless possibilities for finding wedding photo albums that fit your needs.
MILK Books
Looking for a chic, glamorous album that will last you for generations? MILK Books is our go-to for consistently beautiful albums that look gorgeous on your coffee table. With prices starting at $169 for a medium Classic Photo Album to $489 for their large Leather Wedding Photo Album (available in black, white, mocha and silver gray) they also offer a Satisfaction Promise to make sure you are 100% thrilled with your printed product.
We also love that MILK Books focuses on providing high-quality, sustainable paper, and their albums are hand-crafted to make sure they stand the test of time. Since MILK got their start publishing photographic books, they’ve also nailed the design process. You simply upload your photos using their design studio, and then choose from page layouts that have been created by professional designers. They also recently introduced a free-transform tool, which allows you to add new images or text templates and resize as you choose. Once you’re done, pair your album with one of their beautiful linen presentation boxes.
Artifact Uprising
This website specializes in beautiful, artistic photo books, with prices starting at $140 for 8.5 x 8.5 layflat photo albums. You can personalize everything from the color to the size, including an Instagram photo book specifically made for square-shaped photos.
