I am not sure if anyone has shared this tip. This tip is through my own experience that I have went through personally.

Most wedding packages from those studio will give u XX amount of images and also a photo album with XX amount of pages.

The XX amount of pages will be an even number. To start off with you would need to divide the number of pages by 2. This will give you the amount of scene you can put in to the photo album.

So what is a scene. Normally one location may consist of a few scenes. For example, a bridge location might consist of a scene on the bridge, the staircase leading to below the bridge, and below the bridge. The photographer would take a few photos in one scene.

Now for the photo album. To have the photo album look clean, each scene should consist of 2 to 4 photos. Maybe sometimes 5 based on the photos. But more than that would make the scene look messy.

Now lets start the process

Step 1
Glance through all the photos one by one and jot down each scene on a piece of paper. While glancing try to see which photo of the scene you like.

Step 2
Choose the scenes you like and limit the scenes based on how many your photo album can place. For example, in total you have 30 scene, and your album have 24 pages, you can have 12 scenes. You would need to eliminate 18 scenes

Step 3
After you have chosen the scenes you want in the album, choose about 2-4 images from each of the scene you have chosen. DO NOT see images that is on the scenes you have eliminated.

Step 4
You should have now which would be around the number of photographs that you given in the package. You can now decide to further eliminate or add photos.

After you have concluded your initial images for the photo album, you can now go back to the other images in its entirety which you want to top up within your budget.

Extra tip
Before signing up for your package you can negotiate with the sales consultant based on the amount of pages in the photo album and images you want.

I hope this tip can help you guys out here.
