DIY photo album?

Is anyone planning to do this, or have you done it? If so, do you recommend an online vendor of leather albums, or just very pretty and elegant albums? The thought of spending $900 for an album through a photographer with 24 pictures in it makes me cringe when I'mgoing to get a CD with images and can get 8x10s printed at shutterfly for $2 each and assemble it on my own. I know it's our wedding and we should have a very nice momento, but our budget is rapidly depleting and I think I could do a good job if I knew of a good source for an album... thoughts? thanks ladies :)

Re: DIY photo album?

Lots of people are opting not to get the expensive albums.

So far, my mom just wants one from online.

Hey, I just dug up this old post. Do you still have that list of links for albums? Can you post it if you have it, please? Thanks.

Re: DIY photo album?

I'm planning on doing this, because I haven't been able to find anything that I like from a photographer that isn't crazy expensive.

some helpful sites:

Top Flight (be sure to check out their authorized dealers, who sell not only their stuff but other similar albums)

Albums Inc.

Re: DIY photo album?

if you want to make a traditional matted album...try this website: www.albumhouse.com. you could probably make an album w/80 pics for about 500 bucks.

Re: DIY photo album?

I saw nice albums in a carlson crafts catalog, Some were the exact ones that my photographer is using and they are really great prices
