How to Create a Wedding Memory Book
When it comes to wedding photography, it can be quite expensive. Some photographers charge more than the food for the entire night. Then when you want an album put together, it can literally cost a few thousand dollars. Here are some tips on how to create a wedding memory book with the Kodak site, which allows you to relive your memories for a fraction of the price.

1
Take photos at the wedding with a digital camera which you can upload to the web. Most digital cameras have a USB port right on the side that plugs into the camera and computer. If for some reason you took photos on film, scan those into your camera and save them under a separate file.

Upload your wedding photos to the Kodak.com site. The moment you arrive on the site, it will ask you to create an account. An account is created by typing all of the usual fanfare in. Your name, email address, address, contact information, payment information and password. Take the time to create all of this before uploading your photos.

Select "create an album" from the list of choices on the site. After you select this feature, Kodak will ask you which group of photos you want to create an album with on the site. Don't worry if you uploaded things under different files names as you can mix and match.

Create the layout for your wedding memory book. Utilizing the template of the site, you can crop pictures, adjust their color, add captions and change the page layout of your pictures. While the tools are fairly crude (meaning fancy things like overlaying pictures aren't available), you'll be able to create quite a professional looking layout.

Click "approve" after you've created your layout and reviewed the wedding memory book. At this point, you'll also approve your payment information (which will be previously stored from when you signed up.) In just a few short weeks, you will receive your wedding memory book from Kodak.

Tips & Warnings
If you wish to use higher end images in your wedding memory book, purchase photo software and create those images in there. Then upload those photos to the Kodak site. It'll still be way cheaper than what you'll have to pay a photographer.
If there are items you want to include in the book (like say a wedding invitation), you can scan it into your computer and save it as a photo file.
