Do You Need a Wedding Album?

Why this wedding keepsake is worth the investment

Wedding albums have come a long way from being large, clunky binders with photo slots filled with your favorite pics. These days, wedding albums are printed like books and designed to narrate your day visually from start to finish. They’re hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind storybooks that show the first day of the rest of your lives as a family.

While it can be an investment, wedding albums are also the most beautiful, practical, and fun way to remember your entire wedding for years to come. Here are 2 big reasons we believe couples should invest in them. 

It’s a real-life storybook of your big day

From experience, I can tell you that between living in the moment and having that adrenaline pumping, weddings can seemingly go by in a flash. A wedding album can help you remember the final details of your wedding that you have put so much time and energy into planning. It lets you visualize your entire day in a compact, physical form that is easy to access and share with your partner and family. 

Over the years, the hustle and bustle of life may take over, leaving moments from your wedding day forgotten. A photo album can ignite memories that have been lost to time. Whether it’s 5, 10, or 20 years later, a wedding album can transport you back to the moments that brought you so much joy all those years ago. Reminiscing over a wedding album is also a beautiful way to celebrate future anniversaries with your sweetheart – the perfect activity to conjure up feelings of warmth and commitment, and to remind you of your former selves and why you made a lifetime commitment to one another. 

Think about the alternative: A thumb drive with hundreds of pictures that will likely sit on your desk or computer, neglected for years. Will you really have the will and time to open up all those folders and images? Or would you rather cull them down into a book that can sit on your bookshelf or coffee table, and that takes you through every part of that day with ease? Between the two options, we think the choice is easy. 

It’s an heirloom to pass down to future generations

Your wedding album will keep giving back to you over the course of your life. It’s one of the most valuable items you can pass down to your children (if you have them) – a moment in time captured to preserve the history of your family. When you think about it as a lifetime investment of the origin of your family – a short journey of your wedding, canonized in a way that makes your life and history easy to flip through and share – its value becomes priceless.

We hope this article helps you see how a wedding album is so much more than a perk; it’s a priceless heirloom that will be viewed and cherished for generations to come.
