Best for couples who want more than a pretty sample

How to Choose Photos for a Wedding Album Cover? FAQ
Short answers for couples who care about emotion, trust, image quality, and real wedding boundaries.
What makes a wedding portrait work as an album cover?+
Album covers need emotional clarity at a glance: both faces visible, an expression that feels like the essence of your relationship, and a composition that works both at full bleed and with the title embossed. Avoid very busy backgrounds or compositions where one face is obscured — the cover needs to be immediately readable.
Portrait or landscape orientation for an album cover?+
Most wedding albums are portrait (vertical) orientation. FondPix AI portrait generator generates in landscape by default, but you can crop to portrait for cover planning. Alternatively, a square crop often works elegantly as an inset on the cover — many album designers use a central portrait crop on a full-bleed background.
Should the cover portrait match the internal pages?+
It should feel consistent in mood, even if the exact style is slightly more elevated. A classic portrait on the cover and more candid images inside creates a coherent visual story — the cover sets the tone, and the album delivers on the promise it makes.
Can FondPix replace real wedding photography?+
No. Use FondPix for planning, invitations, albums, moodboards, and briefs. Keep vows, family moments, guest reactions, and ceremony memories as real photography.
