The Difference Between Wedding Photo Albums & Photo Books

When it comes to preserving your wedding memories, you have two standout options: custom photo books and professional wedding photo albums. Both offer plenty of ways to personalize, so you can find the perfect fit for your style and budget.

• Wedding Photo Books: Wedding photo books are versatile and fully customizable. You can choose everything from the size and cover to the binding and paper type. Available in softcover, hardcover, and layflat options, photo books are ideal if you want something portable and affordable, starting at just $29.99. Consider making multiple copies as gifts for family and friends. Upgrades include leather, matte, glossy finishes, dust jackets, and die-cut covers.

• Flush Mount Wedding Photo Albums: Professional flush mount albums are the premium option for your wedding photos. They feature thick pages mounted on black boards that lay perfectly flat, offering a seamless spread. With luxurious upgrades like gilded edges, foiled printing, and genuine or eco-leather covers, these high-quality layflat wedding albums are true heirlooms. You can even opt for acrylic covers or photo covers to add a glass-like touch. An expert designer will craft your flush mount wedding photo album to perfection.

Whether you choose a photo book or a flush mount album, both options ensure that your wedding day memories will be beautifully preserved. It all comes down to your personal style, how you want to share your photos, and the level of elegance you're looking for in your keepsake.

Your wedding day is filled with moments you'll want to remember forever, and a custom wedding photo album or high-quality photo book is the perfect way to preserve those memories. Whether you had a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, Shutterfly allows you to create a personalized photo book that captures every detail of your big day.

Choose from various album styles and sizes, like premium layflat photo books or flush mount albums, to showcase your favorite photos. You can also customize your book with unique embellishments, stickers, and text — adding wedding memories, quotes, or even parts of your vows. Make each page personal and meaningful to you, or consider gifting wedding photo books to family and friends who made your day extra special. For an even more polished finish, opt for extras like a gift box, dust jacket, or memorabilia pocket to store keepsakes alongside your photos.
