Wedding Albums UK

[greg-andrew74]

Hi, I have been asked to shoot a wedding next year for some friends of mine. I was wandering if anyone knows of a good album/print supplier uk based. Thanks in advance

Google is your friend. Not sure how many will sell to a non-pro. Books may be a better plan.

Hello Greg;

There are a multitude of good online printers now. Photobox (http://www.photobox.co.uk/) is one I have used a great deal, and have always been very satisfied with their printing...

For a wedding though, I would take a couple of sample shots, and send them to a few printers so you can see their work first-hand...

Can't help you on the traditional "album", but...

You may also like to review Blurb (http://www.blurb.com/) as an alternate to, or a supplement to, a regular album... You download their own software (BookSmart) and basically drag & drop images into a whole slew of ready-made templates. If you don't like their own designs, you can complie your own in PhotoShop or InDesign, and drag those (flattened) images in as regular JPEGs. (I've done three books with Blurb, and have been very happy with the results...) Again, it's best to do a small 20-page starter book as a test before you get into the full-blown book build, so you know what you have to work with...

Hope that get's you going...

Good luck with the shoot - don't lose too much sleep over it...

Cheers;

Lee
