How do couples select photos for their wedding album online?

Send the couple one link instead of a pen drive. On ShaadiMode they swipe through the photos on their phone and mark each one must-have, pick or skip, with a note for you. They see the album as a flip-book before it is printed, and you get their picks as a list for Lightroom and a zip.

Online album selection is a link where the couple marks which wedding photos go into the printed album, so the photographer gets the picks as a list instead of file numbers on WhatsApp.

Step by step

Online album selection, step by step

  1. Open album selection. Choose the wedding and the photos the couple can pick from.
  2. The couple swipes. Must-have, pick or skip, with a note on any photo, on their phone.
  3. Flip-book preview. They see the album as a flip-book before it goes to print.
  4. Picks to your designer. Download the picks as a list for Lightroom and a zip. Your album designer sees the picks, not the guest list.

On ShaadiMode

How ShaadiMode helps with online album selection

  • No pen drives, no Excel of file numbers. The selection and the notes are in one place, against the right photo.
  • Delivery tracker for the couple. Teaser, photos, album selection, printing, delivered: they see every step, so nobody asks "photos kab milenge?".

Avoid

Common mistakes with online album selection

  • Sending every photo on a pen drive and waiting weeks for the couple's list.
  • Picks written as file numbers on WhatsApp: one typo and the wrong photo goes in the album.
  • Printing without a preview: changes after print are expensive.

Questions

Questions about online album selection

Can my album designer work on it?

Yes, on the Studio plan, which adds team logins and the album designer. An album designer sees the picks, not the guest list.
