Are your couples still really interested in getting albums from you? Curious
Can you explain how you'd arrive at a price of several thousand dollars for a wedding album? To me it looks like you're spending ten minutes to arrange photos that the couple already paid for. Is it so expensive to print some photos into a book and ship it?
100$ a page?
For how many copies sir?
Well, personally, my albums sell very well. Not only I make a nice profit on it, but I also have a system for them. They have 2 monthsto send me their list or I make the album myself. Simple. It works. My 12×12 40 pages cost me only $230 to be make with gilding. So, yes, on a $3500 packages, it is a nice profit.
My couples all want albums now. I like it though because I think photos should be printed. 🙂
He's so funny hahahaha
Love how realistic you are! Thanks
For a while, I offered albums to my clients as part of a package but I found that people took way too long to choose their photos. For some years have passed since their wedding. With so many outstanding albums, I decided to stop offering them. That and they are very, very expensive. Beautiful but expensive.
Since you mentioned you aiming for 30 page book, like how many photos can you fit in the book?
My clients favorite the photos in zenfolio, then I auto design in Fundy. I think I spend 30 minutes tops and that includes touch ups. Accucolor for making the album.
How long do you keep the images from weddings? and how do you store them?
Try smart albums
Kiss is way easier than manually designing an album template using photoshop.
Usually i use Pixellu .. its a great software!
You asked them to select 50 of their favorite photos. How many wedding photos do you usually provide to clients?
You don’t do albums at all?! Do you print all the photos and deliver that to the client or just digital files?
I use the KISS designer too, export full resolution then print with someone else. 😀
What this program name plaese thank you
What is the service you've used to print books called? Fineo? Looking for a service that does well with that.
How has your work flow changed since using the newer Nikon bodies?
Most of my couples are willing to spend £700-1000 on an album, but I tend to spend hours over every detail of the layout with multiple revisions etc. With that much hassle I really need to charge more, and/or push big prints instead.
Nice video. One thing I noticed right away. D700 is an amazing camera. Great color
