Let’s be real… there are lots of options out there when it comes to photo books these days.

With Shutterfly, the ability to create a personal and meaningful collection of memories is at your fingertips– no design experience or skills required! Plus, there are so many different ways to use photo books throughout your wedding planning, from engagement photos to wedding albums to family gifts! Plus they are so easy to create and affordable to print that you’ll never want to stop making them to document your most precious memories. That’s why we love custom photo books from Shutterfly! All said and done, though, the convenience of photobooking is a huge factor.When it comes to remembering important moments, nothing is better than an amazing photo, but keeping those photos safe, clean, and organized is key. From a design perspective they’re nifty, but there’s definitely something still to old school albums. Honestly, while I think photobooks are pretty cool, I feel like the quality just doesn’t match up to normal prints.

I liked these the best – strong clear colours, natural looking skin tones, not too dark or too light. To be honest, I prefer the prints I got done at Warehouse Stationery, of all places.

Snapfish’s prints were high contrast, with very dark blacks. Shutterfly’s prints came out a little light, and lower contrast.

(My flatmate who also has a Snapfish book had the same issue.) The next 2 books were fine, though.īoth Snapfish and Shutterfly offer 50 free prints when you sign up, so I took the opportunity to get some wedding prints and compare quality. Quality wise, the first book that arrived had the inside cover bubbling up a bit as if it was damp or not glued together properly. And the settings didn’t seem to save across different login sessions (eg, I like the side frame to hide photos that I’ve already used or removed). I couldn’t seem to nudge using arrow keys and their guidelines/snap rules are pretty basic. It’s nearly impossible to find a nice plain theme if you just want your photos to shine and be the focus. I found the interface cluttered and overwhelming. That said, it’s probably my least favourite site to use for actually making photobooks. Snapfish has a local operation, so it wins out in terms of cost and shipping time.

The physical quality of the books is pretty impressive they feel well made and include a lovely waffle-textured page as the first and last. That said, I found it unintuitively difficult to resize photo boxes (I had to google this) and the popup menu for editing an already-placed photo did not fit my screen. Shutterfly’s got a pretty clean interface, and I liked that you could simply hover over a photo for an enlarged view.

But I got a free book courtesy of Revanche, so gave them a go (free book but paid shipping wound up costing about the same as a local Snapfish book – more on that later). Shutterfly is US-based, so shipping is ouchies. Then it was time to make some travel photo books, which I wasn’t willing to spend as much on.

#Mypublisher vs shutterfly software

Five stars for Mixbook (and their cute software that let me rate their response by clicking on a smiley face in the CSR’s email signature). Lo and behold, they made another and sent me a perfect copy. I would have let it go, except this was my wedding album! I wanted perfection! So I emailed and asked nicely if anything could be done about it. The downside was that when my book arrived, there were 2 small ink dots on one of the pages. Mixbook’s software is web-based, with a fairly clean design and is simple enough to use.

I went for a lay-flat photobook, with thick cardstock pages. This time around I signed up to try Mixbook. I checked the FAQs and Googled, but couldn’t find a fix that worked. It just wouldn’t connect to the site (or something). I downloaded the programme, spent ages creating my album, and then when I went to place my order – crickets. I actually quite liked the software, from the layouts to the ability to organise your photos in a particular order (though that particular drag and drop function was finicky and frustrating).īut the dealbreaker was that it’s not web-based and, uh, didn’t actually work for me. I was willing to fork out a bit for our wedding album, and MyPublisher seemed to fit the bill. I spent ages researching photobook makers renowned for their quality and that would ship to NZ. Particularly those pesky travel pics, which I really wanted some tangible copies of.Īs a result, I’ve been on a bit of a photobooking spree, and tried a few different companies in the process. So when I finally decided it was time to do something about our wedding photos (2 years on…) I figured might as well tackle the whole shebang. I’ve got pics in Dropbox, on the laptop, on Facebook, on an SD card, on a USB stick … all over the place, really. Over the years my photo storage system – or lack thereof – has gotten OUT OF CONTROL. Much as I try, I am not a naturally organised person.
