Wedding Forum - Photobooks...

hi was just wondering if anyone has done a photo book online and what company the best to use, thought its a good idea to keep all the memories of the day and also as gifts to parents on each side to remember the day, in my last wedding we had the normal photo album with photos that fell out all the time, so wanted something that will last

yes that's what I'm thinking just looked on there I don't think its too expensive just hope there will be enough pictures to fill the book lol

they are a good idea we got one from somewhere when we had a photoshoot done and both our parents loved it, they were only mini ones but they looked fab xx

I saw one by a company online company called P**** Box. Lovely.

We have made 2 books from photo box of holiday pictures and made 1 of sil wedding pics from last year. Its really easy to do and they are great quality. You can get some really good deals if you keep an eye on discount websites and on their own website.

I like to use MyPublisher and Blurb.......but BOB-BOOKS are apparently very good too.

A lot of photobooks have templates to slot your photos into, but the 2 I use has also the option to have a blank page in which to put your own design, and I prefer doing mine like that, so I design each page individually in Photoshop, and load it onto a blank page.

This is a double page spread, thats why it looks so long. I do all mine as double pagers..its easier to design that way.

I have done 3 photos books with 2 different companies and they were both great will add links on wall x

think i will be using photo box will keep an eye out for discounts lol

I used one recently through groupon think it was 2m books or something and happy with the quality of that.

We did photobox a 342 offer. Got a larger one for us and two smaller square ones for hubby's parents and my mum. Really pleased with all of them - great idea!

Matt you cannot put website links on the forum! Better remove and puy on your wall instead!

Anyway, back to topic, my sister did her wedding album on v!5t@pr!Nt. Very reasonably priced, think she got a half price offer and got 3 so parents could have one too. Great quality xx

I've just done a couple using v!$tapr!nt. Their tool is great to use for designing pages. You get 24 pages and then add 2 pages at a time for 70p more or so - up to you how many pics you put on each page. Wont receive them for a week or so, fingers crossed the quality is good. B00 ts also do them, but not so user friendly to upload/design

Hiya..we've used Photobox for holidays but we wanted something better quality so we've ordered with Photo Productions - my cuz used them last year and their albums were amazing. Proper professional looking...just google them.
We ordered three days ago, very excited to get them!
xx

This is what we are planning to do.
It seems this is soooooo much cheaper than getting a photographer to put an album together of just 30 pictures when you can have a lot more than that for less money by using a photobook.

my oh's auntie used ph0t0b0x it cost £60 and was fantastic i'd definitely recommend it xx

Well I have done it, I have finished designing it and have ordered my wedding album from A*************** there was a 40% discount voucher, it strated off at $244, then knocked the 40% off, THEN converted it into english money.......worked out to £97.50 thats with P/P. thats for a leather-lux cover, 10 x 10 inch with 76 pages, I am happy to have ordered it at long last, and its a bonus it came in under £100, I had budgeted for spending £200......I cant wait to get it, and will take pics of it and show you here when it arrives. Have had an email from them and estimated delivery date is 22nd April.....nearly 4 weeks......but people have said they far exceed their delivery times......we shall see wont we?

As I seemed to get into the book designing groove, I also ordered my honeymoon album the next day, and emailed them to ask them to ship them together. I made an 8 x 8 album with 50 pages, and a photo finish cover. with my 40% off came to $45....converted into GBP.....around £28.. I am now eagerly awaiting them to be delivered. Have looked at their status and wedding album says... 'Book Ready', and honeymoon says 'Printed'. They dont work weekends so I am hoping they will ship them off today (Friday).....if they can get my honeymoon book status to 'Book Ready' status....

A few of you maybe are not aware that I was a member 2 years ago, and my photographer royally messed up my wedding, so we had to go back and do a re-shoot 2 months later, getting people all there on the same day was a nightmare! ......this is why getting my album is So important to me, because it is the culmination of over a years worth of editing.....trying to make use of some of her bad shots, guests photos, and then the re-shoot pictures.....to get it to look like a seamless wedding album......but as we did the re-shoot AFTER our honeymoon, not only did I have slightly different hair, we also both had a tan! So it was damn hard work, but I really am satisfied with what I designed......I just hope the book lives up to it.....
