On the day, however, friends and family usually like to make their own photographic record and most happy couples end up with a batch of unofficial photographs, as well as the formal ones.
You will find specially-designed wedding photo albums in the shops but might prefer to make your own. Follow the instructions for the baby album this link or buy a plain album and cover it with a piece of your wedding dress fabric, and a touch of lace.
