Hello!
My partner and I recently married. We hired a photographer who did a fantastic job of capturing the day. Our package included all images in high resolution on a USB drive. The package did not include any albums, although we've enquired about the options available directly with the photographer.
I've done a few Google searches and there (unsurprisingly!) appears to be a huge number of album options available across a whole range of prices. From the perspective of the photographers here, can anybody recommend anywhere to get an album made that represents particularly good value for money? I've seen options as low cost as £30 from the likes of Vista Print but even as unknowledgeable as I am I'm aware the quality would be much lower compared to the albums costing several hundred. As this would be our wedding album I'm keen not to necessarily opt for the cheapest option but none-the-less given we managed to celebrate our marriage without excessive cost I do not want to unnecessarily spend more than is necessary here...
For reference, our photographer only offers 'Folio' albums with the lowest cost option being a 15 spread (30 page) 'fine art' album at £495 excluding delivery, engraving/debossing/foiling, etc. For the photographers here that also offer Folio how does this price compare? Would you mind sharing what the cost price for these albums is? Am I likely to find somebody who could make a Folio album for less? (That is, if Folio is even the brand to go for...).
Thanks!
