Photos make the best souvenirs for special occasions and milestones. These photos are usually placed in albums, scrapbooks, or framed for display. But for special milestones like a wedding, these options simply won’t do. Wedding pictures are best immortalized in books that tell your story, and this is what a photo book from Mixbook can do for you. Now if you want a book that is worthy of a spot in your coffee table, then this is what you can do.
Take time to choose your pictures.
This is perhaps the most tedious task in creating a photo book. There are usually hundreds of pictures to go through and it can be difficult to choose which ones to put in your book. It would help to brace yourself for the task so that you won’t get overwhelmed in the middle of it. To make things easier, you can ask someone to assist you in sorting the pictures. Remember to choose high quality pictures only so that everything will look good on your wedding book.
Choose a photo book format.
There are various styles and themes that you can use for a coffee table worthy photo book. Modern formats usually adopt a photojournalistic style that features more candid and out of the box photos. On the other hand, a classic format often makes use of formal poses and are strictly arranged chronologically. The good thing about Mixbook is that you can have a free hand to choose any format you want including a mix of modern and classic styles.
Lay your pictures and decide on what story to tell.
Take a good look at the pictures you’ve chosen and decide on a story that you want to tell. Are you going to tell a love story that culminates in a wedding ceremony? Or would you prefer to focus on the wedding itself? While it is true that pictures alone can tell a story, your book will still be better with some text in it.
Arrange your pictures and check your flow.
If you want to tell a good story, then you have to make sure that the pictures on your book will flow smoothly from one page to the other. Keep an eye out for transition shots that can effectively link pages together.
Choose lay out and book material carefully.
Your best wedding pictures can be ruined if it is printed on poor quality material. Images printed on low quality paper tend to be less vivid and fades easily. It’s going to be a pity if your tedious work ends up badly due to poor choice of materials.
Mind all the details.
This means checking the print quality, materials, and craftsmanship for your book. Remember that weddings are a very special milestone that merits flawless souvenirs. As such, it is important to aim for an impeccable photo book for everyone to admire. This can be done by making sure that your supplier or printer understands your standards and complies with them.
