As a high-end wedding photographer, I know the money isn’t in the shooting part of your business. It’s in the selling part of your business. And the easiest way to make a ton of money is to sell albums as opposed to packages and handing over the digital files.
For ideas on building and selling wedding albums software for mac, you may be interested in Photographing By The Page – The Only Way To Shoot A Wedding.
In order to build and sell large albums, you have to design large album templates before the sale in order for your clients to see what you do, and picture the final product in their minds.
Yes, you can design each page in Photoshop. But when you’re designing over 280 pages on speculation the way I did, you have to have something that makes the process more efficient.
Here are 8 album design programs that can help you design albums on speculation quicker.

You missed Adobe InDesign!
Adobe InDesign really is hands down the fastest and easiest way to design albums. The truth is in the name!
The best part is that if you have the Adobe Creative Suite then you already own the program!
Once you use InDesign to create albums, you’ll never look back.
If you use indesign for your album designing you are going to love what’s coming. In late March we are launching Magic Album Designs. It’s an extension to work within indesign that will automate album layouts speeding up your workflow faster than anything out there.
