As a Myrtle Beach wedding photographer, there are always constant questions about wedding albums. Are they worth it? Should I get one? Aren’t digital images enough? While all of those questions can be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ depending on your preference, wedding albums are definitely worth investing in! Don’t believe me? Here’s 3 reasons you need a wedding album from your special day.
1) Tell Your Story In Order
Your wedding day is one of the best days of your life. It’s full of excitement, joy, and love—and there’s nothing better than reliving those feelings through photos that capture the moments you want to remember forever.
A wedding album is a special book that tells the story of your day from start to finish: from getting ready with your bridesmaids, to seeing your partner for the first time in their tux or dress, to walking down the aisle together as husband and wife. Your photographer will select and order photos that tell this story in a beautiful way. Your photographer will also arrange those photos into an elegant layout that you’ll love looking at again and again!
2) Technology Can Be Unreliable
Technology is constantly changing. Not even 15 years ago, we were just introducing DVDs to the world! Look at how far we’ve grown in such little time. Because of this, digital photos may be accessible now, but will it hold up 20, 30, or 40 years from now? No one is to say – but a physical copy of your precious photos will always be available with a wedding album.
We’ve all had technology fail us before. Whether its a phone that won’t turn on, or a computer hard drive failure, having a physical, non technical backup can be a lifesaver. It can be a great way to back up your photos, but nothing will beat a physical book that you can look at anytime – even without wifi!
3) Create an Heirloom
Wedding albums are one of the only things that will be left over from your wedding day when it’s all said and done, and they’re a great way to tell the love story of how your family began! And even though wedding albums can be costly, it can be a great investment to carry on your story.
Imagine your grandchildren flipping through the photos of your past, sharing those experiences with you. That’s something you may not be able to find with digital photographs in the future. Although a physical book may seem outdated, it is a perfect heirloom to pass down and share your story with may generations to come.
