3 things to know before
deciding on a Magazine Style Wedding Album!

Number One

The term Magazine Style Wedding Album is a bit misleading, because Magazine Style is a look, not a type of album.

The look is often fairly busy, containing around four to eight images per side.

Special effects are frequently used, such as placing photos on top of a faded photo in the background.

(The faded look means the photos have what's called a low opacity).

Also, techniques such as border effects, as well as graphics and text contribute to the overall look.

The magazine style creates a modern wedding album. It has a high impact. It's like watching an old episode of Batman with the sound effect speech bubbles - Pow! Kazam! Bang! So if you prefer subtle, they may not be for you.

But, because of how they're laid out, digital albums often allow more photos to be included than matted albums.

Number Two

If you want a magazine style wedding album, you actually have a choice of two styles of album.

Wedding Coffee Table Books are like the hardcover books you'd find in a book shop.

A Flush Mount Album looks like a regular wedding album on the outside, but with digital page designs on the inside.

Number Three

The magazine style has been around for a few years now, and I personally wonder whether it may have had its day. Some albums I've seen look as though the photographer got a little over-excited with the digital effects available.

I also wonder whether the magazine style may look dated in five or ten years time - like the noughtie's version of the wedding couple superimposed in a brandy glass or on a sheet of music.
