How to Make Couple Album? Complete Anniversary Photo Organization Guide

Sweet and Regrets in Love

Sweet Moments

In love, there are always so many moments worth recording:

💑 First date’s nervousness and anticipation
🎬 First time holding hands watching movie
🍜 Every restaurant eaten at together
🏞️ Every journey’s scenery and memories
🎂 Every birthday spent together
💝 Happiness of exchanging gifts

You photograph, TA also photographs, recording each other in each other’s eyes.

But Also Regrets

Photos too scattered:

You have 200 photos on your phone
TA also has 200 photos on their phone
Want TA’s photos, still need to transfer
Messaging apps compress image quality

Finding photos too difficult:

“I remember we took a really good photo on our birthday last year, where is it?”
Searched for half hour, still can’t find
Too many other photos on phone, couple photos buried in massive images

Anniversaries unprepared:

Every anniversary, want to make memory video
Searching for photos last minute, frantic
Or can’t even remember so many beautiful moments

Long-distance even harder:

See each other less often, must cherish every photo more
Usually want to see partner, can’t find recent photos together
When missing, want to browse memories

If there was an album belonging to just you two, how wonderful would that be?
