I’ve mentioned before on this blog that my family goes to the beach every summer and has done so almost every year since I was 5. This is a true of examples of my tag line “making memories matter.” I recently was able to see the wife and she told me how precious it was to her that I had done this work for her. Since then the husband of this couple has passed away from Covid. Note: I initially wrote this blog post about a year ago. Now the original album has been safely preserved, a new and improved version has been created, and, best of all, our friends love both of them! It was a hit! Pages from the recreated wedding album It features a leather-look cover, much larger versions of the photos, and thicker pages. I recreated their wedding album into a high-quality photo book from AdoramaPix (now Printique). What I didn’t tell her is that I was also creating a special surprise as my anniversary gift to them. I did some minor color corrections to the digital versions, saved them on a USB drive, and returned the album and the drive to my friend. I carefully removed and scanned them on my Epson flatbed scanner and returned the photos to the original photo album. Unlike wedding albums today, this was a small photo album with the pictures only measuring about 3”x4,” and of course, they had discolored with age. Original photos from our friends’ wedding album and the digital versions She wanted to be sure her photos were preserved and digitized so she could easily share them on social media. Let me share two projects I have worked on that are the perfect scenarios for scan and recreate in new beautiful photo books.Ī very dear family friend asked me to scan her wedding album because she and her husband were getting ready to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Let’s scan it all to preserve it, back it up, and create the opportunity to make copies. In all of these instances, there is no reason to disassemble anything. Maybe your mom spent hours and hours creating a scrapbook with lots of unique papers, embellishments, and beautiful photos. Perhaps it’s your own wedding album, and you want it preserved as-is. Maybe your grandmother has written on every page. However, there are other situations when you want to keep the albums intact. In some cases, as a photo organizer, I recommend that you take the photos out of the albums, scan them and then find a new, safer home for the pictures, like a new photo-safe album or an archival storage box. One of the best ways to preserve your old photo albums or scrapbooks is to have them scanned.
