I'm starting to do more weddings now, and I am looking for an affordable way to put together a wedding album for my clients for the key shots, and then make the rest available for prints.
Anyone have any sources they use for their wedding albums? I'm going to offer this as part of my wedding package, and looking for the most cost effective way to remain profitable, and still give a quality, lovely wedding album to my customers.
any insite or experience in this area will be greatly appreciated.
I use Bay Photo for wedding albums, but they're not cheap, ~$250 for an average album - including the printing & mounting. Some other good options are Millers Press, Collages.net, ArtLeather, etc. Google wedding albums, you'll see LOTS of options.
I use H&H Color Lab and they have 'regular' albums from 4x6 to 10x15, 10 to 60 sides and 'coffee table 'books much like the crappy MyPublisher books (sorry, but i've used them and they are junk) ut nice in hard or soft cover, again, many sizes and page counts to 100.
Price (cost) can run from $15 to $600...a typical nice true leather 8x10 20 side book will run you $150 with prints. You should be able to get $500-1000 for that book, but I know some photogs asking $3000 - certainly profitable.
Tap-USA has their superior mount albums, a 10, 20, 30 sides side 8x10 range $25-45 (plus prints). Nice books, nice price. I use them (or art leather's very similar iMount books) for HS senior personal yearbooks and budget weddings. LOTS of places sell tap items.
