My favs are 365 & 387. When you're picking pics, keep in mind that you want your album to tell the story of your wedding day. So you should have at least one pic from each significant part of the night, and try to keep them in order. HTH!

I just helped my best friend with her album so its fresh in my mind... At first it was hard to narrow down all the pics... she had over 500 also. You need to ask yourself which pics you still want to be looking at in 10 or 20 years. Then it gets a little easier. You probably dont need a lot of pics of people dancing.

She picked a few pre-ceremony pics: like one with her parents, her brother, a few with the bridesmaids, me (MOH) putting on the garter, one of her looking in the mirror, her mom putting on the veil... things like that.

Then she had a lot of the ceremony and formal pics w/family: a pic of her dad walking her down the aisle, the moms lighting the unity candles, the two of them in front of the minister, then one walking down the aisle as husband and wife, she also included pics of the parents and grandparents, and each "couple" of bridesmaid/groomsman as they walked down the aisle to leave the church.

Then for the reception: a pic of their entrance as husband and wife, first dance pics, daddy/daughter and mother/son dance, cake cutting & her husband removing the garter.

thanks kristin. i will try that method

Your pictures are fantastic!!

I totally agree with the method Kristen suggested. I would say though, for me I would skip things like the garter if it wasn't important to you. More than each specific thing you did, you want the parts that meant something to you. I really liked the pic of you in Cindy's coach with your parents, the one of all the guys in front of the other coach, the one with you and dh dancing with mickey and minnie, etc. IF you loved your garter, choose a garter pic. If you loved your boquet or the back of your dress, choose those. Don't worry as much about having one pic of each individual thing you did as much as some from before the ceremony, some during and some after.

So, I can't focus on helping you choose pictures - but man, you look gorgeous!!! What a wonderful day you must have had. Seriously, you look so beautiful and happy

i have looked everywhere and i cant find any lists sort of say for what to put in an album.

Hey There,

I think that the majority of the album should be made up of Family/Formals photos and Ceremony Photos. However, I definitely think that it is important to capture the ambience of the entire day, as well. You want to include some photos that captured the special and candid moments of the day. With that said, I think that you should include some of the not-so-formal photos...like the one of you and your DH with the mickey ears as well as some of the pre-ceremony/getting ready photos.

 

[sunsh1ne]

thank you for your input. i like the idea of the mickey hat photos. i appreciate your time

--i never thought this would be so hard-- hehe
