Disastrous Wedding Photos

Wedding albums are a pain in the butt ....can take 6-8 weeks to come from Italy......In the UK albums are getting less popular ...have not done one for 2-3 years ...just fancy USBs...They all do those $50 coffee table things themselves from Photobox or similar.

Here in India, you can order Wedding Albums from online print services. They come in various sizes and various cost options. You even have an option where they will use their professional to design the album. The costs are not all that much starting at US $ 100 for a normal 12x12m 40 sheet album to US $ 500+ for a premium 100 sheet 12x15 album. The only problem is that for normal albums you have to collate the images, arrange them in sequence desired by client, transfer each image to its page and add text where necessary. This is a tedious job and may require a couple of days of your time. If you are being paid for it, that is fine, else one avoids committing an album.

One good thing about having a cost conscious client is that in most cases they are willing to forgo a professionally designed and printed album, and are happy with prints which they can arrange in an album at their own convenience.
 
I think all you can say is that weddings vary around the world ...My wife would take 200+ of the bride getting ready then add in the arrivals Church interior guests arriving service signing...I only do about 9 groups but my wife often has a line of 50 people waiting for family portraits while I shoot the bride groom bridesmaids etc ....then there is cake/greeting/speeches and first dance ...even a small wedding would generate 800.
Say you put the bride and groom against a tree...that's not one shot but about 10 variations without them even moving..it soon builds up.
But is the main man happy ???.............The bank manager.
