How do I get you my images?
Easy! Once you have received your images from your event or occasion, all you have to do is share your gallery link & password information. Jillian will need access to your the high-res files and she’ll take care of the rest!
Do I need to select my own images to include?
That’s what The Album Lady is here for! Receiving your wedding day images can be a bit overwhelming and Jillian’s here to take that stress away. She’ll select some of the best images from your day and from there, create your initial design.
Some clients prefer to include a short image list of their favorites. She’d love to know which photos mean the most to you!
How many images come in my book?
This is a hard question to answer! The average length of a wedding album is anywhere from 42-48 pages however is dependent on the length of your day, portraits taken and guest count. Most often times, a 40 page album has about 85-90 images included.
There is no set formula and each design is 100% different!
Does my album need to follow the timeline of my day?
Not necessarily. In order to tell the best visual story, some things may get moved around. For example, if you took family photos before your wedding portraits, we may swap the order for continuity. Changes can always be made during the revision phase.
How do revisions work?
The Album Lady uses an online proofing site which allows you to make notes and request changes as well as approve spreads if they’re good to go.
Should you prefer to discuss changes over the phone or over a video call, Jillian’s happy to do so!
Am I missing anything?
If, at any point you should have a question once the design process has started, please feel free to reach out. The Album Lady is here to help make this a fun and easy experience!
