Visit www.blendedmotion.com for custom quality wedding album design.

I have purchased the rights to my wedding photos from the photographer. $7000 total. She and other photographers offer albums with really thick pages. Not thin like a magazine but thick hard board like material that limits the number of pages in the album. She refers to the albums as Italian Albums but I suspect that that term refers merely to the leather covers and not the whole album with thick pages.Prices start at $2000 and go up dramatically. Where can I shop online that will allow me to upload my photos, design the album pages and choose the cover without having to pay ridiculous prices. Sort of like services offered by Shutter-fly, Snap-fish and Walgreen's.

The Italian albums you refer to sound like they may be from Graphistudio, who make the entire album in Italy. They are very good, but expensive. Check their website and see for yourself.

That being said, there are many other approximately equivalent album producers around; try looking for 'Wedding Books'.

More info required,

Are u making CD presentation? In that case you may use Windows Movie Maker or Proshow Gold.

In case you intend to make hard copy it can be done on Photoshop or Coreldraw.

I like to add here that most of professions prefers Photoshop as it can really gives good effects you may download trial from http://www.adobe.com

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 I am creating a very professional-looking photo album from photos from my wedding. To make sure I design it correctly, I need to get in contact with a local printer to print and bind the photos into a book.

My question is how do I find a place that will do this? Where do Wedding Photographers go to have books made from the photos they take?

I want our book to be large (i.e. 12x12) and have the fold-flat pages, not like your typical binding like you would find on a hard-cover novel-style book.

A quick note: I am NOT looking for an online publishing company like www.mypublisher.com or www.photoworks.com or www.shutterfly.com or www.kodakgaller.com or others UNLESS they offer fold-flat pages (this might not be the correct term for that binding style) so please don't waste your time recommending these sites unless you know of one that does that style of binding. All the ones that I have listed so far do NOT have that style of binding.

Thanks!

Do you have a Staples or Kinkos in your area? I know that ours will do things of that nature...
try any other "office printing" type of establishment...they do a lot of document/photo work. Also maybe check w/a photography studio and see if they can give you some advice as to what may be available in your area...

Generally, the photographers that I utilize to get the images for the magazine I work for are freelancers. Those freelance photgraphers usually photograph weddings, commercial images for product catlogues, pretty much anything to get their bills paid, by using their cameras.
When it comes time for those that shoot weddings to create wedding albums, I believe that the use professional printers, or commercial printers, in order to print out on quality photo stock, as well as bind those albums. Not having to bind those albums, I cannot be sure. I'm positive though, that any printer you go to might only have certain size stock to choose from, and it is my advice that you work within those specs, in order to save yourself in production costs.
I'm not sure where you live, but if you'd only call a professional photographer's studio and ask them where to get it done, preferably a studio that specializes in wedding albums, then I'm sure that they'd be willing to help you with this!
I'm also kind of hesitant to send you in the direction of a commercial printer, knowing that you processed all of the images yourself, on your home computer.
I'm not sure what software that you used to process the images, but I would caution you to make sure that the images you plan on printing are notonly the proper size and resolution, but also that those same images are in a format and color platform that are compatible with the printer's specifications.
If you were using a newer version of Photoshop, CS/CS2, I'd be more than willing to let you in on how to batch process those same images and save yourself TONS of time.
I hope things work out for you and that this album comes together for you! I love it when people take pride in things for themselves and like to get their own hands dirty!
