Isaac and I always say that if our house caught fire, we would grab Frodo, Zeek, Tux, our laptops, and our photo books along with our wedding album! You could recreate a wedding album if something happened to this one, but the first heirloom feels special. Digital images are wonderful, but a printed keepsake that tells our wedding story is priceless. If you haven’t invested in a Legacy Album yet, feel free to come back to me anytime to order one. I don’t push product sales, but these albums matter—not just for couples, but also for their grandchildren.

Here are my top three reasons why every couple should invest in their wedding album:

Wedding Albums are Like a Storybook

When friends and family look through a photo album, they experience the story of your wedding day. Framed photos may show only a moment, but an album provides a complete view. Since your wedding day likely felt like a story, an album captures that essence and guides viewers through each special moment.

Note: When you order an heirloom album through Tina Ricketts Photography, we custom design it for you. We handle all the details, so you won’t have to sift through hundreds of images. What newly married couple has time for that?

Digital Copies Can Be Lost

While we trust electronic media, remember that USBs and backup files can get lost or deleted. They can be hard to retrieve quickly. If your photos are on a USB, take the time to print them and compile them into a traditional wedding album. If you’re not buying through your photographer, I recommend using a professional printing company for high-quality options.

Your Memories Will Fade, But Your Album is a Time Machine

A photographer’s job is to document every detail, reminding you of the time and effort spent on your day. Your professional wedding album serves as that record! It’s easily accessible at home, allowing you to reminisce anytime. Plus, albums use archival-quality prints, which surpass pixels on a screen.

Final Note:

Receiving your wedding photos after a long wait is rewarding. You invested so much into planning your special day, so it’s fitting that your photos are displayed beautifully. Whether you choose one copy for yourself or multiple as gifts for family, your special day can be showcased beautifully. For generations to come, you will celebrate the love and joy of your magical day—what could be better than that?

With Love,

Tina
