I am contemplating the budget cut on photography and have seen a few photographers offering photos purely on CD with the album as an option. Found a few placed online for printing photo books at a fraction of the price, but is this the right route?
Has anyone else done this?
Who is good and bad for online photo book creation?
help!

Im doing my own after the quote i was given was astronomical lol, that big blue supermarket have had an offer on photobooks recently qas well, so its well worth shoppping around and getting your own done i think :) x

Heard good things about ph0t0 b0x as well

I am doing my own photo books. I think it is nice because then you can do different ones for your family too if you wanted to it will probably still work out cheaper! Then because you have the photos on cd can do anything you like with them. My sister in law got one printed on a canvas to go up in her living room. It just seems a lot cheaper to get all your photos and you can do what you want with them when you want with them!!
Hope this helps x x

Plus you get free prints when you sign up with them (usually 40) so you could use those to maybe create an album for your parents or one you can carry around in your bag to show off to family and friends :-) xxx

My Uncle and Cousin are doing our photo's and I am paying for their memory cards only which they will give to me after the wedding and I can do whatever I want with the photos. I want an old fashioned album but I'd be quite happy to make photo books for my Nannies as gifts or something too. This is such a cheap way to do it and I don't have to buy the rights to the pics thankfully.

This is exactly the route that we are going to take.

We're doing the same, just couldn't believe the price for the full professional service. I know some people would argue it's worth it as you'll keep them forever etc., but as some of the others have said, there are other areas of the wedding that could benefit from the money :)

me... my photographer just does the disc. The books look lovely but am pretty sure they'd just end up in the cupboard (just like my first wedding album)...
