    Is There A Difference Between The Very Expensive Wedding Albums Your Photographer Sells You And Buying One And Putting It Together Yourself?

    My wedding photographer gives what he calls a coffee table album instead of a conventional album with his package. A wedding album with the actual photos in it is available for $750, which seems to be the going rate on my photographers websites. But can I buy an album and put the prints in and still get a quality album that won't fade with time?

    In theory, if a wedding photographer can buy something, that is, the materials he or she uses to create your album, then there is no reason why you can't buy the exact same products.

    Now, the difference though comes from the fact that they have experience and you don't. Obviously as they have done it many times before they are probably going to do a better job than you who probably doesn't have any previous experience.

    The reason why people get professionals to do anything is because they are willing to part with their hard earned cash and pay someone for something, that, if they took a lot time and researched and trained up on it, they could probably do it themselves. The thing being that the time spent on becoming good at something doesn't always justify the money you would pay someone. It's like anything really; plumbers, mechanics, builders, decorators. In theory, they are all things you could do yourself if you were willing to spend the time and do the research.

    Personally, I would just pay the money rather than do it myself (as I don't have the time). If it is your wedding as well, you probably have lots of other things to think about! Your wedding photos are just one of things that are a necessity and if you want to guarantee that you get quality that lasts forever, than get a qualified, recommended photographer that you have seen previous works from.

    Good luck and I hope your day goes great!

      Remember that is one of the ways the photographer supplements his income. He can probably get the albums at volume discount, which you cannot, so it is not costing you extra.
      A wedding photographer only gets to work a few weekends each year. You only get to be married once (hopefully). Let's make everyone happy and not count pennies to spoil the occasion. Just ask for the package you can afford and not worry about how the price was arrived at.
      And congratulations. May you have a long and happy marriage.

      There are so many ways to create the album, one of them is to use HP software and the Snapfish service, using Snapfish photo service creates pictures similar to professional where the ink does not run like on inkjet printers.
      It also has online software to create many different photo projects
