How did you narrow down the pictures for your albums? I have narrowed it down to 248 out of over 650. I don't know what to do I love them all!

Re: Pictures

well that's a good start, at least you took out over half of them! take a break from your pictures and then go back in a week or so, so your mind is fresh and look at them again. I wound up going over by 24 pictures for my album. it was hard getting it down to the 99 I chose too. You eventually just have to say do I REALLY need this picture in the album? Remember you have the proofs that you can always look at, so it's not like you'll lose the picture. I wound up asking my mom for help too b/c DH wasn't really that interested unless I neede help between 2 or 3. good luck!!Chat Icon

Re: Pictures

Try to put them in order. SInce you only need a few for each event, this will help you figure out when your pics were taken. Then pick the best pic from each period of your wedding.

I had the same problem. It was torture. I had over 2000 proofs and was told to pick 100. Little by little I would eliminate. Then I had my mom and dad over 2 nights in a row to help me out (DH was afraid to help me cuz I was a little crazed Chat Icon ) I got it down to 125 or something like that and then I just couldn't do it anymore. I ended up paying for the extra pictures. I haven't seen my mock up yet but I'm sure I will be happy with my choices.

Do you get to keep your proofs on a cd? At least then you can always make up your own album on shutterfly, kodakgallery, etc. for MUCH cheaper Chat Icon

Good Luck!
