Help with a wedding shoot

[ray*j*gun]

Its been years since I shot a wedding and I have lost touch with suppliers and resources. I have agreed to shoot the wedding of a close friend's daughter and would like some advice on who to use to produce the physical album. I would prefer a turn key product done to professional standards but will do what I have to in order to get a quality end product.

As always any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!!

I should have mentioned that I am from the Phila area and the wedding will be a destination event at Virginia Beach.

Thanks

I would advise going with Artifact Uprising as well. Most in my peer group now use a program called Smart Albums which interfaces with a lot of popular album companies for design and printing, but it's an expensive program. AA has a web interface for easy designs. It's kind of clunky but you can make it work. Good quality, but keep in mind you have to get the higher end book, not their press printed blurb type books.

Thanks SaveK. This will be a one time job (I hope anyway) so it would be better to work with the basic tools as you suggest.

Thanks again!

I use smart albums as well. The printer I use is: https://www.pikto.com/

I find them to have fast shipping and very high quality products. (I beleive if you sign up for a business account you get a % off.)

IN the past before I had smart albums I used a combination of lightroom and the on site program that Pikto has.
