I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album/page/2#post-330922 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:36:26 +0000 lawbee11 330922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Thanks again for all your help! Now I have to figure out what I'm gonna spend that $200 on... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album/page/2#post-330915 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:27:45 +0000 PrincessBaby 330915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Oh DUH- that makes sense that the cover is a little bigger!!! Now that you've seen, I'm deleting bc has both our full names:). I hope you love yours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album/page/2#post-330911 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:25:50 +0000 lawbee11 330911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Ha thanks for posting pics! That definitely looks plenty big...I can see how a 12 x 12 would look too big. Well, good! You just saved me $200! Maybe the cover measures 10.5 and the actual pages are 10, cause the cover does look a little bigger. We got married on the beach, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album/page/2#post-330900 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:17:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 330900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: :)</p> <p>ETA:Deleted pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album/page/2#post-330896 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:14:48 +0000 lawbee11 330896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: thanks! Obviously I would prefer to get the smaller one and save the money, I just don't want to spend that much money and be disappointed with the size. But if you have a 10.5 x 10.5 and it's plenty big, then it sounds like the 10x10 is the way to go. And it even sounds like the 12x12 may be too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330888 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:07:44 +0000 yin 330888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An album was part of my package for an extra $700. I got pregnant and didn't want to think about the wedding anymore so chose to delay it. My photographer created a layout and I just needed to revise and approve it. I got married over two years ago. Oops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330873 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:00:17 +0000 PrincessBaby 330873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: mine is 10.5 x 10.5 and it's plenty big without being crazy large...My photog said she had just done a 12x12, and she couldn't get over the hugeness. I'll see if I can find the pic she emailed me, but basically she thought it was larger than life and too big to be on a table for display. The 12x12 was the same price (we paid extra for more pages) and we still chose the smaller... Let me go see what I can dig up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330679 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 18:59:28 +0000 ladyfingers 330679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put together a Blurb book forever ago, now I just need to offer it! This was not an option our photographer offered (nor would I have ordered it, it probably would have taken her 2 years at the rate she was going). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330399 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:52:11 +0000 Trailmix 330399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't but I wish I had! I did a small one from Pinhole Press that I like but I'm not really a fan of the ones from Adorama, etc so I wish I had had my photog make us an album! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330384 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:36:59 +0000 bushelandapeck 330384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One came with our photography package but we upgraded a few hundred dollars for a better one. We love it! We don't look at it a ton but we have it out for people to look at and everyone has commented on how beautiful it is so I think it was worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330338 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:07:17 +0000 Mrsbells 330338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we made our own on adorama </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330336 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:06:24 +0000 lawbee11 330336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think I would enjoy it for a couple of days, but then I would just drive myself crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330335 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:05:28 +0000 lawbee11 330335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Do you know what size yours is? I got an email back from the photog and she said it's $500 for a 10 x 10 and $700 for a 12 x 12. Do you think it's worth the extra $ for the bigger one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330178 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:51:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 330178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Yeah the time is a huge thing-- I spent weeks working on it, but I enjoyed it. If I didn't enjoy doing it, I don't know that it would have been worth it. </p> <p>Another note in general, some of the higher end make your own ones (like Adorama, Picaboo, vs Shutterfly or Snapfish) have lay flat options, which I knew I wanted. So i could actually still have a spread that went across two pages. But still, I'm not going to pretend mine is as good as a professional one, it's just close enough for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-330169 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 12:44:52 +0000 wahine08 330169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our package came with one as well (which, over a year later- I don't have yet!) but we did order some through MyPublisher for the in-laws and my parents last Christmas... they were AWESOME! I plan on doing many more through MyPublisher. They always have great deals, too. The quality was phenomenal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329749 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 09:01:14 +0000 Alivoo01 329749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our photography package came with 3 albums (1 for us and 2 parent albums). The pictures that came out on our personal album was amazing!!! It brought the colors out unlike any other form of production. I'm so happy my package came with albums because I'm not sure I would have paid for an album outside of my package. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329701 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:36:20 +0000 lavender 329701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we have all our photos on a disc with full control and made one from Shutterfly. Couldn't justify the expense and looking back our album I made is sitting in our coffee table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329674 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:21:01 +0000 Minnie_Girl 329674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We purchased the images and made our own on Adoramapix. Maybe if we'd had tons of money to burn we'd have gone for a photographer's album, but then a lot of things would have been different about our wedding! </p> <p>As it is, I like our album (esp. the fact that we had full creative control). I'm making a honeymoon album for Christmas this year. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329650 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:03:01 +0000 MrsTiz 329650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mine from MyPublisher and I love it so much. It cost about $60 and if you put mine beside a $800 photographer one, I'd still pick mine. The quality is amazing, the pictures are laid out the way I want them, and it was fun to make! I'm going to be using them for a LOT of things. Family yearbooks, little one albums, to put their paintings/artwork, etc. in, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329649 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:02:40 +0000 autumnlove 329649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one as part of our package. It took us FOREVER to get it but we love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329648 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:59:21 +0000 PrincessBaby 329648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Exactly! That's what I love about it - it's so different than the normal print thickness! That's why DH quit complaining about the cost, he saw that it would last forever. The reason we "upgraded" was only to add pages because we had so many pics we wanted to use, but the one with the standard amount of pages had the same quality, so whatever you go with, I'm sure it'll be awesome!!! You won't regret it:)</p> <p>@sarbear: It's one of my favorite parts about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329645 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:53:30 +0000 GrapeCrush 329645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our photography package came with one. i love ours! do we look at it often, no, but i'm still glad we have it. </p> <p>@jholler25: our cover is a wrap around canvas too! i love it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329643 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:53:00 +0000 lawbee11 329643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@softcream: The time I will spend making my own is the biggest reason I want to buy it from the photographer. I recently made a photo book of a vacation that DH and I took, and I spent days on it. I can't imagine how long I'd spend on our wedding album!</p> <p>@jholler25: I emailed the photog to verify the price, but I agree with you and think it'll be worth it. She showed me a sample and it was amazing--the pages were so thick that they were almost hard! Like could not be bent at all. I had never seen an album like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329606 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:05:32 +0000 Andrea 329606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. It was part of the photography package. It's a really nice album with thick pages and they lay it out really well. We already spent so much on the wedding that it didn't really make sense to skimp out on the album. I love looking at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329593 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:38:41 +0000 heffalump 329593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got all of the images on Cd so I made my own on shutterfly. I figured I can always upgrade later, but we knew we wanted to ttc so we were saving our money. I did want some type of album though.... even though I admit we never look at it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329584 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:29:20 +0000 MediaNaranja 329584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! But then again we got married at the courthouse with no friends or family present :)</p> <p>I do think though that we will do an engagement-style shoot &amp; small album for my parents &amp; his mom. Someday, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329530 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 23:36:24 +0000 looch 329530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we didn't. I just couldn't fathom why we'd need one at the time. We own all of our photos and my husband is pretty good at Adobe Illustrator, so we could get one done for a lot less than what was available through the photographer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329495 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:09:58 +0000 MamaCate 329495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did not. It just seemed so expensive. We got all the digital files on cd and I made our book on blurb. I loved their software as I got to make exactly what I wanted and I was able to include a lot more pictures than you can on a traditional album. So it was cheaper and more customized--I was so happy with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-purchase-a-wedding-photo-album#post-329488 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:03:45 +0000 pinkcupcake 329488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it was part of the package we purchased. Totally worth it, in my opinion! It's absolutely gorgeous and the quality is amazing. We got smaller versions for our parents as Christmas gifts (I think those were about $250 each). </p>
