6. Balance Formal and Candid Shots

Candid photos depict more emotion and spontaneity, while formal photos depict the beauty of the day. This balance ensures that the album is interesting and has some surprising elements.
7. Don’t Overcrowd the Pages
Don’t use a single page to display many photos in your wedding photo book. Simplicity is the best policy when it comes to design. A few well-placed images can have more impact than a cluttered spread.

9. Add Captions for Extra Storytelling
Captions are also useful in adding some context to the pictures you’ll have in your wedding photo book. Adding a short description of the moment or a quote can add a bit of extra life to your images.

This is particularly useful for family group shots or special moments where a little explanation can add emotional depth to your wedding book.
10. Organize the Album in Sections for Better Flow
If your wedding had different parts (laughing down the aisle, the reception, the dinner, and the after-party), divide your wedding photo album into sections. This assists in developing a sequence, making it easy to follow the events of the day.
