Going Digital with a Digital Wedding Photo Album

When thinking of a wedding photo album, the first thing that comes to mind is the usual LP record-album sized scrapbook with loads of pages of photographs all lovingly displayed. Fortunately, the ever changing technology has presented us with another innovation, the digital wedding photo album. First off, a digital wedding photo album is a product put together by a digital camera and a computer program (usually PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro) and then exists only as electronic information as opposed to traditional negatives and stills.

What are the Pros and Cons?

Cons

Probably the main disadvantage of a digital wedding photo album is that it doesn’t look all that impressive. You can’t actually hold it and impress everyone around like with a traditional wedding photo album. When you receive a digital wedding photo album from your photographer, it’s usually comes out as a CD in a protective case. Normally you can select some individual stills to be made into prints or a smaller version of the traditional wedding album, but that would sure cost extra (depending on the photographer).

Pros

In the eyes of most couples and for professional photographers, there are far more advantages to digital wedding photo albums than disadvantages. It’s much easier to make copies of wedding images when you’re utilizing digital photography with a digital camera than by a conventional film camera. All that is needed is a desktop printer and special “photography print” papers in order to make hard copies. You can even skip the latter and just email the images to your loved ones and exes for them to view in their computers.

Yet another advantage is that your digital wedding photo album is safer than a traditional wedding photo album. Because the images are all stored in a computer as electronic files, you can make as many back up copies as you like. This is rather hard to do with traditional print film. If your wedding album is ever destroyed, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the photographer you used is not only still in business, but has kept all of the negatives.

Remember that another major advantage is it’s easier to add any effects with a digital image than with a traditional print film. Basic effects could include getting rid of glare spots, red-eyes or cropping the image to make an overall better composition. Even more spectacular effects include transforming the images into sepia tones, to blend a series of images into just one photo or to give your photo borders and frames.

Wrapping up, it’s much easier and usually much more economic to go with a digital wedding photo album than a traditional film album. Just always be sure to ask your photographer if it is possible to combine both type of album, because in all likelihood he is desperate for business and he’ll cut you a deal.

Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any be…
