Wedding Photo Books and Albums

Capture Your Love Story with a Wedding Photo Album

Your wedding day is full of moments worth remembering—every laugh, every tear, every dance. A Shutterfly wedding photo album or photo book lets you preserve those memories beautifully, so you can relive the romance for years to come. With high-quality printing, durable bindings, and endless customization options, creating a wedding album that feels as special as your big day is easy and stress-free —and backed by our 100% happiness guarantee.

The Difference Between Wedding Photo Books & Albums

When it comes to preserving your wedding memories, you have two standout options: custom photo books and professional wedding photo albums. Both offer plenty of ways to personalize, so you can find the perfect fit for your style and budget.

• Wedding Photo Books: Fully customizable and perfect for any budget, our photo books let you choose your size, cover, binding, and paper type. Options include softcover, hardcover, and layflat, with upgrades like leather, matte or glossy finishes, dust jackets, and die-cut covers. Starting at just $29.99, these albums are ideal for keeping your memories close or gifting multiple copies to family and friends, with options to order in bulk when you need extras for loved ones.
• Flush Mount Wedding Photo Albums: Our premium albums are true heirlooms. Thick layflat pages mounted on black boards create seamless spreads, while luxurious finishes like gilded edges, foiled printing, and genuine or eco-leather covers add elegance. Optional acrylic or photo covers give a glass-like touch. Each album is crafted with care by an expert designer, making it a stunning showcase for your wedding day.

Whether you choose a photo book or flush mount album, Shutterfly ensures every page is printed with exceptional quality, creating a wedding album photo book you’ll treasure forever. Find more details in our guide: Shutterfly Wedding Photo Books Guide: Common FAQs.
