Your wedding was a success! You are back from the honeymoon and it is time to save your memories by ordering a wedding album.
Buying the album from your photographer is way too expensive. So you turn to goggle to find the perfect wedding album company. You need a company that will make the perfect wedding album design and also create the album of your dreams.
Your album can’t be ordinary. You want it to be extra ordinary. The album itself must be beautiful and the design needs to be extravagant and clearly show the story of the day.
You choose the album company. You love their design examples. You are ready to send your images and have them take care of it.
The problems start with the album design.
Here is the truth about album design – Most album companies outsource their designs to part time album designers in India. When they are not designing wedding albums they are working on creating business logos for $5 on Fiverr.
Album companies pay these folks $15 to $20 per album design. The album companies profit big using this method, but it is incredibly frustrating for the album buyers!
The first draft of the album design will likely not be what you are looking for. Revision requests are input online, so you may take hours going through the pages and making suggestions to improve the design to meet your needs.
You may ask the album company, “Can’t I just talk to the designer?”
Of course, the answer is no. The album company does not want you to know who or where the album is being designed! That would be devastating to their business.
We found one wedding album company – Wedding Album Studio – who offers free album design and also has designers based right here in the United States. You can choose to use their online album proofing system or you can call the designer and talk through the changes.
The perfect wedding album starts with the wedding album design. If you don’t have a good designer then you will never be happy with your album.
To avoid problems be sure to ask if you can talk to your designer over the phone. If the answer is NO, then this is a big Red Flag. Avoid that wedding album company!
