Default Photo Books

I just received a photo book that I put together on WinkFlash.com. I loaded all of my pics to their site, and then choose the book style that I wanted. I then got to place them how I wanted. I love it - it's beautiful...

It cost less than $20 for the book, 20 pages front and back, and it was about $23 with shipping.

I highly recommend that when you get your wedding photos from your photographer, get them on a CD so you can do with them what you will. It's A LOT cheaper than ordering a book for relatives, and it's exactly what you want.

Any way we could get a pic at your finished product?

I've been looking for something like this - a lot of photographers nowadays are doing coffee table books, but they are so expensive!

ETA: I also found this site: http://www.picaboo.com/ which allows you to customize your book with the layouts and backgrounds that you want. I'm sure there are more sites like this out there... I think I may have to try this with my vaca pics!

Took a look at that site Julz...I want a book soooo bad. But I'm a little worried about the pricing of it since it doesn't give a set base price...

Most definitely checking out Winkflash too.

I did wedding books for family members using Shutterfly, and loved them. I think there are lots of sites that do this...I looked at Kodak and Snapfish also, but liked the layout options that Shutterfly had better.

LJ - Can you actually write on the pages or add captions to them when you order the book?

You can add captions as you put the photos where you want them online. I think to have to the words on the front of the book like LJ's, it's like .29 cents or something.

Amy, that's a great deal. If I had the energy to load up all of the photos again I would do it, lol.
