    Glad you enjoyed your friend's wedding :) and congratulations on getting her such a great gift. My dad did the photos at my cousin's first wedding as a present, since they couldn't afford a photographer (he's a good amateur and has been into photography for years, so the photos were pretty good). I did a spin on the idea for my friend's wedding: took loads of snaps and curated the ones I thought encapsulated her and her husband's sense of fun the best, getting them printed onto a canvas. They included pics of the happy couple with pints of beer :D I called it the alternative photo album!
