As a recent bride, I know firsthand the importance of having beautiful wedding photos to cherish. As they say, your wedding photos and your memories are what remain after the big day has come and gone. In particular as a lover of photography, scrapbooking and home videos - essentially anything dealing with preserving memories – I wanted to make sure we had our bases covered. On our wedding day we were surrounded by our entourage: our wedding photographer accompanied by a second shooter; our videographer and his second camera person; plus my favorite uncle (an awesome amateur photographer) who came all the way from overseas to be my unofficial third shooter. So, you can say we hired our own paparazzi for the day!

Now that it's been about a year since I walked down the aisle, I've had some time to work on several wedding photo book and wedding scrapbook projects. I'd like to share some ideas on how to incorporate your favorite photos into your wedding related projects including on your big day, and of course what to do with your wedding photos post-wedding.
