Many photo book vendors are new, creating products specifically to appeal to budget consumers and price-shoppers. There are no track records of quality or longevity of products. Very few, if any, of these companies are touted by top wedding photographers.

Low-quality papers which aren’t intended to last for long periods of time. Photos lack depth and vibrancy, colors are inaccurate and will fade.

Commonly called “press printed” or “coffee table” books, the pages are printed separately so photos cannot span a full spread without losing detail across the center.

Limited, pre-made templates are offered with simple paper, material and color choices. Most albums from other vendors look identical.

Their pages are printed and bound separately. The bindings will become fragile and pages will eventually drop out (similar to old hardcover textbooks or novels.)

Budget, low-quality materials used. Limited, simple, basic material choices and colors. Beware “Genuine Leather” - it is low-cost, reconstituted, leftover material with poor quality.

Boxes are typically cardboard (if offered at all) or must be sourced separately from the book.

Wedding book manufacturers do not offer this feature as theirs will not stand the test of time.
