If you looked at the wedding photo album of your parents you probably wouldn't see much difference between that and the one that is used for a modern wedding. These albums generally have the same conventions and that means that the bride will be the first person you seen inside the cover. Most photographers will then find a special location after the ceremony to take some warm pictures of the married couple together for the album after the service.

Of course you will also see photos of the wedding party together in the wedding photo album to show how fantastic they all looked on the day in their dresses and tuxedos. The whole group is made up of friends and family of the bride and groom; there is probably a very similar picture in their parent's album. The bride should then, by tradition, have some pictures taken of her and her attendants for the day.

The next two sections are those reserved for the groom and his family and then the bride and her family. Wedding photo albums are generally large bound examples that contain pictures that are bigger than usual on pages that may be inlaid or embossed. The wedding photo album will probably be a book with an elegant cover in white and the design will usually have wedding bells, rings or bouquets on the cover.

It is just as important for the contents of the wedding album to impress and this is achieved by clever display techniques that show the day off at its best. It may be a long while before physical albums are replaced but a more permanent record of the day can now be shown on a cd rom or dvd which most wedding photographers are able to supply themselves. Every bride and groom should have their photos placed on a disc as they are less likely to be damaged and can be taken anywhere and displayed on large screens if required.

These are easily sent to the guests so everyone gets a copy, and the computer discs are much easier to store than the traditional wedding photo albums. This also means that guests have the opportunity to print off images they like whenever they wish and still keep a reminder of the day that can be seen at home on the TV if they wish. As modern technology allows even the newer digital photo frames will become more commonplace, where photos like this can be viewed at random.
