How to make a wedding album you'll actually open

You have two thousand wedding photos. A great album doesn't use all of them — it tells the story of the day in eighty perfect ones. Here's how to get there.

Let panoramas breathe with layflat binding

A true layflat album lets a single image stretch across both pages with no gap at the spine. For sweeping mandap shots and group portraits, it's transformative.
