Creating a photo album today is like counting 1-2-3.

Yup, I am in the process of creating a photo album of the wedding. My family convinced me during my visit that I should create one because I didn't do a video, and they want something they can show their friends. Who would've thought SIX months after the wedding I am still hounded by wedding stuff, lol.

Anyway! I discovered that creating photo albums are really easy these days! There are a multitude of websites and apps that can "auto-create" a photo album for you (even in chronological order! the programs simply reads the time stamps and arrange accordingly) in one click of a button, and all you have to do is upload the photos. You can tinker with the photos/arrangements or decorations a little more if you're not satisfied with their default setting, or you can get creative by mixing and matching the different templates they provide. And speaking of templates, there are so many to choose from! Kind of overwhelming at times. `(๑ △ ๑)`*

But this really beats printing out pictures and then manually inserting them into those giant photo albums with sleeves. Or scrap-booking. I guess if you're a scrap-booker then maybe you find that these online apps take out the fun in crafting, but I'm the type that's really terrible at cutting fine details, and really cannot be bothered to check out different arts & crafts stores for the right kind of stickers, quotes, or paper textures.

Don't like how the photos are arranged? Click and drag to switch positions. Don't like how every photo on one page has people facing the same direction? Flip the photo horizontally. Photo too dark in contrast with other photos? Click "brighten photo". Have NO talent or creativity on how to arrange photos? Select from 50++ ready made, professional-looking templates. Even if you're creative I'd still use the templates as a base because they are SO nice and can save you plenty of time. Everything can be done without moving your butt from your comfy computer chair. What a time to be alive. (Yeah, I'm so lazy I know)

And once you're done, they even create a flash animation of your album so you can flip through it. 
Here is a preview of the flash animation Mixbook (the site I used) provided in still shots:



If everything looks good, just send it for printing and ta-da! Done! Mail it you and there you have it. How convenient. Gotta love the Americans for making literally almost anything into a 3-5 step procedure, and those procedures at most requires you do just do something effortless like click a button, stir the cake mix, or just pay a premium and wait for others to get it done for you, lol.

Hope that it turns out as good as it looks! Till next time.
