Put them in a photo album
A photo album is a great idea for your wedding photos. A glossy, well-produced album commemorates the big day and allows you to share it with visitors and friends. This is particularly enjoyable for people who weren’t present on the day. An album is both personal and heartwarming. On a difficult day, flicking through the photos might be just the pick-me-up you need.
Gift them
Your wedding photos can make a lovely gift to special people in your life. A shot of you and your bridesmaids together is a great way to thank them for the hard work they put into your wedding day, for instance. Combined with a pretty frame, it will make for a memorable gift that your friends will really appreciate.
A framed wedding day photograph will also be cherished family members. Your father will love a shot of the two of you walking down the aisle and your grandmother will cherish a photo of you sharing a drink together. Gifting a family member a wedding photo will remind them they are appreciated and that you were grateful for their presence on your wedding day.
