As wedding photographers, we capture one of the most meaningful days in a couple’s life. While digital galleries and USB drives are popular, nothing quite compares to the impact of a beautifully crafted wedding album. An album is more than just a collection of images—it's the first family heirloom, something tangible that preserves memories for generations.

Adobe Lightroom exports photo album pages as single images rather than full spreads, but you can easily combine these pages into spreads using Adobe InDesign. Follow these steps to set up your spreads in InDesign and export them as JPEG files that are optimized for Banti Album Proofing.

As a wedding photographer, you pour your heart and soul into capturing every precious moment of your clients' big day. You meticulously edit each image, carefully curate the perfect collection, and then painstakingly design a stunning wedding album that tells their unique love story.

When you’re designing and retouching an album, you likely move between multiple applications like Photoshop, InDesign, Lightroom, your favorite browser, email app of choice, and whatever other software you may have installed to make your workflow easier. How fast do you think you are moving between them?

The most important metric that will determine how successful your album offering is, is the time it takes to deliver it to your clients.

When you send an email to your clients to let them know that their album is ready for proofing, your goal is to get their feedback quickly, so you can make changes, order the album, and deliver it as soon as possible.
