From Miss to Mrs: Closing the Book

It's been almost 18 months since our wedding. I've written 59 posts recaping it, and I've yet to finish. At least until today, with my 60th and final recap post.

The Box for Our Wedding AlbumWhen it came to booking our photographer, I knew there was one thing we had to had. I didn't need engagement photos, nor did I want to take bridal portraits. I didn't even care if we received hard copies of our pictures (although we did). Instead I wanted digital copies (for blog posts), rights to them (so I could print my own copies), and a professional album.
I know for many albums are something on the bottom of the list. After all, it's so easy to use an online photo service and create your own, which is actually what I did for holiday presents, but knew it wasn't right for me. I guess until you've seen a quality album its hard to know the difference.

The Page Thickness of Our AlbumExcept I was familiar with them. After my Bat Mitzvah my parents' did buy a professional album, which I fell in love with. There just something about the thickness of the pages, and the quality that you can't find anywhere else. I still love looking through my album (and even my brother's from his Bar Mitzvah) to see it all captured and help relive the day.

Getting ReadyIf there's any regret with our album it's that I didn't beg and pay for more pages. As it is I couldn't narrow it down to the numbers of photos suggested by my photographer, which meant many of the pages had a collage of smaller photos instead of one or two larger ones.

The CeremonyLooking back I'm so glad I decided that an album was worth it, even if the boy wouldn't agree. I love knowing that this will stand the test of time. I know it's something I going to want to look through in years to come to bring me back to such to beautiful moment. And hopefully someday I'm able to show to our future children so they too can see the day our family started.

The ReceptionIs a professional album something you did, or would, find a place for in your wedding budget?
