Capturing Your Event

Janet Minerva, Staff Writer

Are you looking for a unique way to capture your wedding? How about your engagement, bridal shower or honeymoon? Are you at a loss for a unique gift for your bridal party? With today’s digital technology, some imagination and several online photo sharing websites, you can create your own customized photo book that you can share with friends and family online or order hardbound copies.

You can include photos from the wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, wedding shower and reception for a more complete album. Scan in special keepsakes including your wedding invitation, marriage license (make sure to save that as a high resolution .jpg file), your vows and the words from your first dance song for your own customized wedding album.

Perhaps you are looking for a unique bridal party gift.  You can make a customized thank you book for each bridal party member that captures your wedding day as well as pictures of other experiences you shared with each member throughout your friendship.  This may include school pictures from elementary through high school, including homecoming and prom.   They may include spontaneous pictures (think pictures you may have put up on Facebook or MySpace), little league, dance recitals… the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Since you design each book yourself, you can begin the book with a thank you note expressing your appreciation and support on your wedding day.  You may also include a story of your friendship. Your bridal party will treasure their personalized gift book as a reminder of your wedding day and the friendship you share.

Let’s not forget the honeymoon.  Relive your honeymoon experience over again with a customized photo book.  They can be organized day-by-day, place-by-place utilizing various travel backgrounds including beach, outdoor, tropical, and international to match the mood of your destination.  Scan in copies of your airline tickets and hotel and restaurant postcards to complete your honeymoon album.

There are several different companies that are easy to work with and offer endless design possibilities.  Some of the more popular sites include Picaboo and Shutterfly, as far as their more personalized offerings go.  Prices start at $9.99 for a soft cover book to $39.99 for some of the larger, hard-covered books. 

Both of these photo sharing sites allow you to share pictures online for free and create customized books.  They also offer various textured backgrounds, font styles and borders for each page as well as each picture.  Allow yourself time to become familiar and comfortable with each site as you get accustomed to all the options you have in stylizing your album.

Eventually you may find that creating these customized albums will replace buying traditional photo albums.  And, if you are looking to keep your wedding costs down, this is a great solution. Arm your guests with disposable digital cameras and let the memories begin.

With today’s technology and online photo sharing sites, capturing one of the most memorable events in your lifetime is only a click away.
