Wedding Photo Album "Fair Cost"?
Im in the process of finding a wedding photographer at the moment and I found a number of them offer "packages" with albums
I was wondering, is it really "worth it" to get the album from a photographer?
A few websites stated that they only sell to professionals, so I have no idea what it costs minus design time.
I did some reading around, and I understand that there are a lot of places online that I could go to get a photobook made, but we were looking for a photo ALBUM. Something that would stand the test of time.
We definitely want an album to last forever, but if we can get it done ourselves at a later time (when our wallets are not so empty) we wouldnt feel the pressure to get one done right away.
I guess I have two questions
1) Where would we be able to get a wedding album done that is of similar physical quality as what a photographer may offer? This would be the most preferred option as then we dont need to be going over our budget.
2) Lets say we do decide to go with our photographer to get an album. What can we reasonably expect in terms of the final product and price points? For example, if a photographer says $600 should we expect a paper photo book? Or should we expect something encrusted with gold and diamonds?
