Casper sits on the North Platte River, with Casper Mountain rising just south and open prairie in nearly every direction. If you married in this part of Wyoming, your photos likely include big skies and wide landscapes. Here is how to choose between an album and a magazine, and how to give them to family.
An album for the whole day
The album gives you room: up to 40 spreads, in sizes from 12x24 to 20x30 inches. It holds the preparation, ceremony, family photos and dancing, with space for the scenery.
Lay-flat binding is a good fit for landscape photographs, because the pages open fully and images can run across both pages without a gap.
A 20x30 album shows a high-plains horizon with real presence, while a 12x24 fits easily on a bookshelf. Choose the size that you will actually display.
Casper weddings often involve large gatherings, so group photographs are important. Include a page for each major family group so that every branch of the family sees itself in the album.
A magazine for a lighter keepsake
The wedding magazine is 20 pages at 8.5x11 inches, in an editorial style, with 15 original styles and a $70 price. You preview every page.
It is easy to send to friends and family who live in other states, and a good choice for a small wedding, where fewer images are enough to tell the story.
Because the magazine is lighter, it is easy to post, easy to read and easy to share at a family gathering. It is also more comfortable for relatives who prefer something they can hold in one hand.
Magazines are also a good fit for couples who already have a large framed print on the wall and want a second, more casual piece.
Making the decision
If you want one piece that lasts, choose the album. If you want something light and inexpensive to share, choose the magazine. If you want both, use the same photos.
Consider the number of copies you need. A single album for you and several magazines for relatives is a common and practical mix.
Both are designed online before anything is printed. Smart Auto-Layout builds a draft, you can reorder pages and swap or recrop any image, and you approve each page before printing.
Picking photos from a wide-open setting
Wyoming weddings often feature striking landscapes. Use a few of those as full-page scenes, and balance them with close portraits so that the album does not feel distant.
Include candid moments, such as laughter in a truck bed or a grandparent tearing up. They are often the ones people remember best.
Look for small, local details: boots by the door, a truck decorated for the send-off, a hat on a chair. They place the wedding in Wyoming and give the album personality.
Photographs taken in the early evening light on the plains tend to be warm and soft, and they pair well with the more energetic reception images.
Gifting and shipping
Wyoming families are often spread across states, so plan for shipping. Express is $60 for 5 to 7 days, Standard $32 for 7 to 10 days and Economy $12 for 15 to 18 days.
Folio Forever is a Florida-based studio that ships to every state, and every order is covered by the reprint promise. See the FAQ for details.
Casper couples often mention relatives on ranches or in smaller towns who are hard to visit. A printed copy in the mail is an ideal way to reach them.
Write down who should receive which copy before you order, so shipping addresses are ready at checkout.

Yes. You can ship to any address in the US with tracking.
Is a magazine enough for a small wedding?
Often yes. Twenty pages is plenty for a small gallery, and you can still add an album later.
