Wedding albums
Hi,

I'm tentatively entering the wedding photography market and wandered if anyone knew of any affordable wedding album providers in the UK?

Thanks

Graham

you need to physically see examples of albums and that is very difficult via a forum. What might be great to someone might be rubbish to someone else, how can you possibly know what bar someone unknown to you sets for quality?

Someone who has never seen a photo album might be quite impressed by a £15 cheapo from www.cheapoalbums.com whereas someone might get be disillusiioned with the quality they got from www.reallyupmarketalbums,com

I;d recommend attening a photography or wedding expo somewhere so you can see the quality yourself.

you just missed the biggest in the UK at Focus in Birmingham a few weeks ago, that would have eben ideal as every other stall seems to be a wedding album supplier.

Check the wedding press and see if there are any local wedding fairs, yuo often find suppliers exhibiting, or try photography fairs, and check the swpp website for events

good advice to go to a wedding fair i went to a couple it gives you ideas. let me say that taking someones wedding isnt to be entered lightly it is very hard work which doesnt finish till you produce the finished work for the couple and you only have one chance to get it right. you will also have to have a backup plan for bad weather.
heres the link http://www.gfsmithphotomount.co.uk/

good luck
