5 Reasons why print your Wedding Album
It’s no secret that wedding photography is a big investment as part of your wedding budget, but are you getting the most value out of your wedding photos? From my recent research I’ve learned that a huge percentage of couples getting married in recent years have decided not to print their wedding photos? I’m hoping to change that trend for future couples and here’s 5 reason’s why you should absolutely print your wedding photos!… So If you haven’t thought about whether or not to print your wedding photos, please read on:

1. THE POWER OF TOUCH
On a psychological level, touch has an incredible power of us as humans. We become more deeply connected to tangible things, once we’ve been able to touch or hold them in our hands. Seeing your wedding photos is nice, but from an emotional level when touching them as an album or print is amplified. To get the most value out of your wedding photos – out of what you paid for – get them printed and let your sense of touch be part of the overall experience.

2. YOUR WEDDING IS A STORY
From getting ready to your first look to saying “I do” to dancing the night away, the day of your wedding is as much a story as the relationship that brought you to this point. Printing your photos in an album allows you to re-live that story in a way that an online gallery of a few hundred images simply does not. Imagine looking through your wedding album together with your family during the holidays, and again on your anniversaries, and maybe even later with your children. Printing your photos in an album allows you to experience them the way your photographer intended. It is recommended to opt for some high quality albums such as leather photo albums to have a longer life time.

3. YOUR PHOTOS ARE ART
Speaking of your photographer, remember that they are an artist. You hired them not only to capture your day, but to tell a story and document those special moments such as your ‘first kiss’ your parent’s emotions, that look on your bridesmaid’s faces when they see you in your wedding dress for the first time. What better to hang on the walls of your home than the art you already commissioned for your wedding day! Not only do you get to display these stunning pieces of art that happen to include you as the models, but you’re able to walk through your house and remember those special moments every single day.
4. THE INTERNET ISN’T FOREVER
Remember MySpace? Some social platforms aren’t around forever! Even if you were to upload your wedding photos (all 500 of them) to Facebook, how often would you and your family actually spend time looking through them there? And, you can only upload them if you’ve downloaded them from the online gallery your photographer provided! We hear from So many photographers that their clients never download their wedding images and then when the gallery expires, the client emails in asking where the photos have gone. Not all photographers leave their galleries open forever, which is just another reason to make sure you’re making the most of the photos you paid for!
5. YOUR FAMILY LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
When you print your photos, you’re not the only ones who get to appreciate them – your family, both present and future, do too! If you’ve ever seen your parents’ or grandparents’ old wedding photos hanging in their home or come across a box of old images from their weddings, then you know how special and meaningful those artifacts are. Your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren being able to touch, hold, and sift through your wedding photos is a powerful way to connect through generations.
Ultimately, the tangible value of deciding to print your wedding photos, whether as albums for your coffee table, art for your home, or gifts for your family, is unparalleled. Your wedding day deserves better than a Facebook album or usb drive that lives in your junk drawer. Photos are meant to be viewed, so make sure you’re giving those memories a chance to be re-lived – now and forever!
If you would like an inclusive Photo Book or Photo Album, both the ‘Ultimate’ and ‘Princess’ will include these as part of the Wedding Packages. You’ll also receive a complimentary ‘Gift Box’ all at no-extra cost. Parent Books or Parent Albums are also available as an optional extra.
