Surprise! Wedding photo albums are so expensive...

Are there any brides-to-be who were shocked at the high prices of wedding albums in their wedding estimates?

The average price for an album included in the venue's plan is 100,000 to 200,000 yen. Even though it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, that’s not a small amount to casually spend.

Many of you may have wanted multiple copies for yourselves, your parents, and relatives, but had to reluctantly give up on that idea.

Wedding albums are extremely expensive. However, it’s sad to think that you can’t preserve the beautiful photos from your wedding.

That’s why making a "DIY" wedding album has become popular among brides who have already tied the knot.

With a DIY album, you can create your ideal album while keeping costs down!

The choice for brides is 'Photoback' ♩

The overwhelmingly popular service for handmade wedding albums is 'Photoback,' which allows you to create albums at an incredibly low price of under 10,000 yen for even the most luxurious options.

Whether ordering for yourself, your families, or relatives, the appeal is that it’s more affordable than one album from the venue!

➡ Check out 'Photoback' in detail

Unlike services that just line up photos, the templates are meticulously designed so that even non-designers can create stylish results, which is one reason for its popularity.

Each frame and text is adjusted down to the millimeter in design.

Moreover, prints are made with six-color printing, and depending on the items, it achieves a high-quality finish that resembles commercially published books.

Since there’s no sense of "made it cheap," it’s delightful to create albums that satisfy both you and your family! ♡

Recommended for those who are particular about design ♩

One highlight of 'Photoback' is its rich variety of designs.

There are seven types of photo books and two binding types available to choose from.

All albums can be edited from both PC and smartphone. No need to download special software, and intuitive operation is possible, so even brides who feel daunted by DIY can handle it! ♡

Particularly favored by brides is the "FOLIO" photo book with a case.

It is a high-quality thick-paper bound album that you can treasure for a lifetime.

It opens flat, making it easy to view while chatting with a group ♩

The "GRAPH" photo book, which holds up to 120 pages, is also popular.

With its large page count, it captures everything from pre-wedding photos, wedding preparations, to the flow of the wedding day, including welcome boards, dishes, venue decorations, small items, and off-shots with friends and family, all in one book ♡

You can create the largest and most impressive book within 'Photoback.'

The delivery will take about five business days from the time you place your order.

With "GRAPH," if you use express delivery, you can have it shipped the same day at the earliest and delivered the next day, so it's perfect for those who want to see the final product quickly.

This time, we asked two brides who created their wedding albums with 'Photoback' to share their experiences ♩

Experience of bride Shiomin who created a wedding album with 'Photoback'

[Q1: What led you to think about DIYing your wedding album?]

I learned that having the venue or photographer create the album would cost about 50,000 to 100,000 yen per book, and after the wedding, I found it difficult to create an album.

However, I wanted to leave an album as a memory for both us and our parents, so we decided to make it ourselves.

[Q2: Why did you choose 'Photoback'?]

I had originally learned about it through other brides' posts on Instagram, but at that time I thought I would think about the album after the wedding, so I didn't pay much attention.

When it came time to create it ourselves, I checked the site again and found a rich variety of albums and layouts, and the quality was remarkably high, chosen by professionals, while also being reasonably priced, so we decided to create it with Photoback.

[Q3: Why did you choose FOLIO among the items?]

I thought the wedding album would be something I would keep for a long time and look back at many times, so I chose FOLIO without hesitation.

The central spine doesn't intrude, allowing for a flat opening, making it great for laying out wide photos. In the end, I got something so good that I could hardly believe I made it myself!!

[Q4: What were your considerations about templates and photo selection?]

When I looked back at the album, I wanted the feelings and events of that day to come rushing back, so I arranged the photos basically in chronological order.

I used my favorite photos luxuriously large! The freedom in selecting photos and layouts is a unique aspect of DIY. Furthermore, I used a lot of photos of not only people but also the venue and decorations so that the atmosphere and vibe of that day could be conveyed through the album.

Experience of bride Romin who created a wedding album with 'Photoback'

[Q1: What led you to think about DIYing your wedding album?]

I wanted to create an album with photos selected for each recipient like my grandparents and parents, so I chose DIY so I could freely decide on the layout and photo selection.

[Q2: Why did you choose 'Photoback'?]

A friend from the same department at art school had made a graduation album using Photoback, and since then I've used it several times. I like it because the templates and text arrangements are beautiful.

[Q3: Why did you choose FOLIO among the items?]

Since this album would be given to traditional grandparents and parents, I thought it needed to have a level of luxury comparable to what I would request from the venue, so I chose the FOLIO, which has a hardcover, thick pages, and comes with a case.

[Q4: What were your considerations about templates and photo selection?]

I wanted to present each photo carefully, so I chose a template that would allow the photos to be shown large without overcrowding. I selected photos where the recipient is in the picture and is particularly expressive for the layout.

If you want an album but hesitate because the venue's service is too expensive, why not try making it yourself like these two?＊
