Online Wedding Album
An Online Wedding Album is a website set up by or for the couple, anytime after the engagement. It will ultimately become a collection of photos and information...a storyline of this part of the couple's lives. Many of these sites are free. Some also have a small monthly fee.
Close friends and family might hear about this idea for the first time while attending the bridal shower. Let them know they can contribute. Then on the wedding day, they will have their digital cameras and phones ready.
Most couples will hire a photographer for their wedding. This professional will ensure that the best shots of their big day are captured. While the bride and groom are busy with these important poses, they sometimes miss some of the fun candid moments. Sharing photos, taken by guests, helps to solve this problem.
How Does This Work?
• There are wedding album sites online with a variety of examples.
The couple will plan and make their own website through a series of simple steps. Then an assortment of photos and stories can be added. Guests will be excited to participate in sharing their contributions. Often, photos will be submitted and accessible, the same day as the event.
*** Most sites now are also video capable. Many guests are fans of video. This lets them share their skill.
