How to pick the Best Images for your Album...

     I am one of those Wedding Photographers that LOVE to meet with the bride and groom when their photos are edited and beautiful. I call it a Private Preview or Viewing. This gives the couple the opportunity to see their images first hand.
     Now as a couple with 1500-3000 images in front of them how do they pick the BEST images for their Album?

     Simple.
                  No really, It is actually not that hard to do.


We suggest 3 simple rules when choosing:

Rule #1) Black and White Photos are a MUST in an album
Rule #2) Fill your Album with your Wedding & Reception event photos ONLY, not of the reception
Rule #3) If they weren't in the glamour shots or in the Wedding Party, Leave them out.

     I know I am sooo harsh, right. No, I am not. Because when you think about the rules, they actually make a lot of sense.

    Rule #1) Black and White Photos are a MUST in an Album
          Black and White Images scream classic glamour. They are the essence of what is Love and beauty. Whenever you or your family sees b&w photos in your album those are the photos they will gasp at.

     Rule #2) Fill your Album with your Wedding & Reception Event Photos ONLY, not of the reception
          Although the reception was Amazing and ubber fun, lets face it. You're not going to want photos of your family doing the Y.M.C.A or uncle John stuffing crab cakes in his pocket (yes, true story) in your album. You may not even want your bouquet toss because you have too many women in the photo you won't even remember their names in 5 years. You might not even remember their names now. Do you? Wedding, Glamour Shots & Reception Events such as Garter Toss, Bouquet Toss & cake cutting Only.

     Rule #3) If they weren't in the glamour shots or in the Wedding Party, Leave them out.
          Even though your Uncle's New girlfriend is the talk of the fashion world...will they be together in 5-10 years? Maybe? Maybe not. Your album must stay memorable and at least 'kind of' up to date.


And there you have it. Our advice on How to Pick the Best Images for your Album.
