3 Tips For The Perfect Wedding Album
We're constantly talking about the must-have shots for your wedding album. But once you get all those beautiful photos back, there's still work to be done: Creating the perfect photo album. That's why NYC-based documentary-style wedding photographer Ira Lippke of Ira Lippke Studios said “A wedding album is kind of like a wedding dress — it's meant to be enjoyed and meant to be looked at," he says. And just as there's an art to capturing the wedding, there's an art to assembling the perfect wedding album. Here, Ira's tips for putting together your dream album…
1. Pick your absolute favorites (not what you think they should be).
Think of your album as an emotional record, not a technical one. In other words, pick photos you can't live without. “I think the best albums are collections of your favorite pictures. Not necessarily the pictures that have to go in," he says. “Sometimes it just happens to be the veil blowing in the wind or an expression on someone's face."
2. Let the photos speak for themselves.
“Now with the digital age you can do a lot of tricky things in laying out albums," says Ira. “To me, it creates a lot of visual clutter." He suggests letting a good photograph stand on its own and advises laying out your album with one or two pictures per spread. One tip: Put a vertical image on one page and stretch a horizontal image across two pages.
3. Think chronologically.
In general, ceremony photos should go before reception shots or the after-party pictures, but there can be exceptions. “There's nothing to say you can't start with an amazing image from later in the day," says Ira.
