Did anyone make their own wedding album?

My photographer is going to send all of my pictures to me on DVD and he is going to make an album of 4X6's of my choosing. But I want a big album, with 8X10's, 5X7's the whole thing (he won't do this but I'm getting him for a great deal, so I don't mind doing it on my own). So I will have to make this myself and have the others printed from the DVD he gave me (I'll have all the negatives). Has anyone done this? Where can I buy a pretty, nice album? I don't want the big leather-bound white one with the gold trim that everyone gets, I want a more creative, nice-looking one. Any suggestions?

Update:

I want something more fromal than a scrapbook. Maybe I just don't have as many scrapbooking skills as some, but I don't just want it to be pictures glued to pages.

    Not sure how you are going to add the photos- magazine style, insert, or somehow affix on pages?

    Check out kozoarts.com. Not sure if its what youre after, but you might also be able to modify it if you know what youre doing.

    *Also, Kolo albums come apart so if you want to have the pages professionally printed magazine style, you could then insert them in the album. Their albums are on the casual side though, but they are acid-free. http://kolo.com/shop/products/?cat=16

    My bro and SiL did their own. They bought slim, brown leather, library-bound photo albums (2 of them, one for wedding and one for honeymoon pictures) with places to write next to the pictures. They albums are great looking and with the space to write they were able to document all the things they saw on their Grand Canyon/Arizona honeymoon. The albums were only 2pictures across but included both orientations (horizontal and vertical) so they could fit the pics. I think the albums came from a camera store like Ritz. It was a great idea and much less expensive!

    Good luck!

    Just make sure that the dvd he gives you have the images at a higher resolution so that you can make pictures larger than 4x6. ( some photogs really get ppl like this...they offer a dvd but with small pics and in order to get bigger pictures you have to order thru them)

    Costcos has really nice leather albums at good prices.

    You also have the option of doing a digital album. (i made digital albums for inlaws) using mypublisher. Its great. You can also buy a leather bound book. its great and you just have to upload the pics on the computer and design it yourself. its really easy to use.

    hiya there! that's a cool thought to try this! you could desire to touch someobe from this place and ask them in case you could desire to work out a pattern (optimistically they are interior of a utilising distance). If this would not artwork, ask them what are their return regulations and if any fee must be paid. i've got not use the positioning for my section (yet I which one you're conversing approximately), yet once you have the time and motivation i could advise to do it your self. whether you have the %. in paper or digital archives would not count (you've them revealed very almost everywhere). There are som craft shops like pastime foyer that sell albums with hardcovers and that are truly uncomplicated to personalize (so truly, scrapbooking). you could desire to layout each little component in it. tournament hues, play with sizes, and upload greater effective pages in case you go with them. in addition they sell each and all of the climate so which you do no longer could desire to circulate to a distinctive keep.
