Don't you just love browsing through a picture portfolio? If remembering lifelong happy memories fuels you to eagerly look forward to what's ahead, how much more when you've just tied the knot?

Your special day's photo album doesn't need to be really expensive. All you need are some practical techniques and a little bit of creativity when arranging it for yourself. Here are some tips that will surely satisfy you in the end.

Step 1: Categorise your images.

When you group these beautifully captured scenes, it will help you determine how you'd want to arrange your entire compilation. For instance, you can place them in a chronological order, from the preparation time to the reception. Some couples even choose to include photos when they were still dating. Or, you can opt to lay it out according to their significance: bride and groom pictures, family, friends, or parts of the programme like: the first dance, cake cutting, and bouquet/garter toss.

Step 2: Find your best shots.

It's a rule of thumb used by professional photographers to show off a picture and get the appreciation it deserves. After you've grouped them, set aside the finest ones and then you can trim the rest into different square sized and rectangles. Feel free to be creative by capturing distinct images that may not have previously stood out. You can also pick out pictures you want to blow up; make sure you have the negatives so you can have copies.

Step 3: Design your portfolio.

Some of the most artistic ways to spruce it up is to include the invitation/thank you cards in the first and the last pages, place the guest lists before/after the guests' photos, as well as putting in your personalised vows or copy of the song's lyrics you've dance to together beside the corresponding images. But you can still opt to compile these mementos in one section. For its cover, you can attach a small piece of fabric from your dress when it's altered; the lace will add elegance to it.

Simply organise your album to tell the story of your most-awaited day. For incredibly-captured shots, you might want to get in touch with a professional who specialises in wedding photography. Browse through the beautiful gallery in this website for inspiring pictures.
