Wedding photos storybook tip

Posts: 98 Forumite
Got married recently, and the photo package we got from Elegante (part of Kodak) included a storybook which is a hardback bound book containing pages on which the photos are artistically arranged - of different sizes and positions.
Our submission form allowed us to choose from different layouts for each page, so we had to write the photo number on the relevant 'page' on the form. This resulted in a form consisting of page layouts with photo numbers. This made it extremely difficult to see the 'flow' of the story. This led to much time spent, and frustration as we kept checking the photos we had written, to ensure that the events were displayed as we wanted.
I finally twigged that for each page of the storybook, we should lay out the photos we wanted, in the positions they will lie on the page, and take a photo of these photos, using our digital camera. This made it possible to 'see' how the pages of the storybook would look.
