How long for album?

bellebride116

How long did it take for your pro album? We took forever on deciding on pictures, but we sent our final choices to our photographer at the very beginning of June. We are supposed to see spreads before the final product, and we haven't seen the spreads yet. So, in another week and a half it will be two months since we sent him our chosen shots, is that a normal amount of time? I don't want to bother him if not that much time has passed yet!

Call up your photographer and set up a schedule.  That way he knows you are waiting, and you know that he's working!

Two weeks is not that long of a time.  Designing an album takes a lot of work. 

My boudoir album took almost a month for her to design and I'm sure that had a lot less pictures in it than your wedding album.

I say if you haven't seen anything a month after you sent him your choices, then to email him and ask how it's coming.

Oops...missed that you said two months.  Thought you said two weeks.

I would definitely email him and ask where he is in the designing aspect.

<div>You weren't seeing things: I did type 2 weeks at first but it was a typo, I meant two months! </div><div>

I think that's a long time.... I would call and ask when you expect to see the spreads.  It's August now and most FL photographers don't have many weddings.  He should be able to get it to you soon.

Really?  Why would you think most FL photographers don't have weddings right now?  Most of the photographers I know are booked solid.

My mom has a fat wedding album in her living room that's extremely heavy -- instead of an album, I decided to try and use a company to design and print my wedding photos into a hardbound, dust-sleeved book that's printed on thick paper.  The final product came out BEAUTIFULLY.  I cannot recommended more this company and their photobooks!One of their website samples is here:  http://photo-ops.com/weddingbook/wedding.html E-mail them at hello@photo-ops.com.  They have the sweetest people working there, and I cannot be happier with them!!!!  I ordered more copies for my parents and close friends/family! ~J
