YOUR WEDDING STORY Our designs tell a story. The entire book must flow and have a consistent feel. A spread (2 pages) should hold images that have something in common together and should be edited in a similar style. However, the design process has room for exceptions. For example it's ok to have one portrait black & white image with three smaller landscape colour images.
CHANGING OPTIONS In simple terms there are three basic ways to amend the design:
(1) Swapping is the most common type of change. Prefer an image from another? Ask to swap one image for the other.
EXAMPLE p.46 remove 0453, add 0455
(2) Adding and deleting. You can delete or add images in the spread and ask for the entire page or spread to be redesigned.
EXAMPLES p.32 remove 0654 p.43 add 844
(3) Separating and merging images is slightly more complicated and should be used sparingly. If you think an image deserves to be on its own then you can request a new spread be created and this image be placed on the left-hand side or right-hand side of the new spread. Note that the oppose side will also need to be populated with an image or set of images. The only type of image that can be added on its own spread is a spanned landscape image. A good example of this is a beautiful landscape image with the bridal couple composed on the far left or far right-hand side. Another example could be a big group shot, but be aware that you will lose detail in the middle of the image in the fold.
Merging spreads together is a good way to keep images in your book while saving costs. As long as all merging images are of the same "scene" For example 4 pages of dancing shots can be merged into 2 pages, thereby saving costs of 2 pages. The most images in any one spread is 18 images over the 2 pages. This design works especially well during the Congratulations and for couples sitting at the reception.
EXAMPLES merge pages 44+45 and 52+54 p.20, separate 0334 + 350, new pages
