How many photos supposed to go in wedding photo album?

Rookie question I'm sure! I'm getting asked by a soon to be client how many photos get put into a wedding photo album. I've not done one yet so this is a first for me.

How many photos are you putting into an album on average?

Thanks everyone :P :P

I like pages with one big photo, so my albums don't have a lot more photos than pages. A few pages have more than one, collages, sequences, etc... 30 pages at the minimum. For many album styles I'm familiar with 60 or 75 pages is about the maximum. Some can go higher, but they start getting big and bulky. Most of my albums end up 40 to 50 pages, with 45 to 60 photos.

Same here, I see on average about 50 to 75 photos used in an album

I think it depends on what you need to accurately cover the event. A typical wedding day can be beautifully covered with 70ish images.

(Often times the number of images in an album is high because a bride will choose every single family grouping as well as each girl/couple walking down the aisle, etc. Repetition. Suggest that they pick their favorite situations that tell the story of the day and save a lot of the family shots, etc. to print as framed prints, or gifts or even a secondary album)

I agree that a single focal point image with a couple of small accent photos is much more appealing than a page or spread that is just loaded with small photos. I feel that looks cluttered.

Most wedding photographers I know are right around the 75 mark. Funny is that this topic just came up at our last month meetup.
