Don't overthink it. Just pick 20 to 30 of your favorites. The next step is to weed out the bad pictures (of blinking guests, for example).

Group the proofs into categories: getting ready, ceremony, ****tail hour, reception, special moments (cake cutting, speeches, candids, portraits, dancing, and getaway are the big categories).

Choosing photos for a wedding album takes six hours on average, so don't expect it to be a quick task. Imagine you are illustrating a book that has no text?keep the "story" of the wedding day in mind.

Experiment with page layouts at this point. Some pages will feature one 8"x10" portrait, while others will have a 5"x7" staggered with smaller shots.

Creating a great album is a snap.

What I do to cut down on the time that it takes to choose the pictures to put in the album (as a wedding photographer) is ask the bride and groom to go through and pick out there top 20 favorite pictures. I then make sure to add all of those and add some of my favorite that I know will compliment the book nicely.
