Ive looked around, I followed links from advertisements in photography magazines, etc, and every album that I come accross costs about $500. There has to be albums in the $100 range. It doesnt have to be leather, just an option to present a bride/groom.

I was hoping someone here has some links to some affordable wedding albums. In the $100 range.

Also, what print sizes do you usually get to fill a wedding album? 8x10, 10x10?

Actually there is one company that does them for around $200 i think - i've been trying to find them the last half hour lol. They have a goofy name and publicly display their prices..

Yes but when a couple are trying to get a wedding for $750, I dont want to offer them a $500 leather album embossed with 24k lettering. :D I plan to present them with a few options and let them choose which way they want to go. I was hoping they would go the route of the press printed books.

I made one from Adorama and it look very nice. No comparison to ASA books but if cost is an issue, adorama is a way to go. I use these inexpensive books as parent albums.

By adorama book, do you mean something that is press printed? If so I need a traditional wedding album instead.

I don't think you'll find anything that is not press printed in the $100 range. KISS has the pocket albums, but they're tiny.

Although I found the Adorama books "ok" my wife loves them as did both Moms.

Maybe there'll be some useful info for you here?
