Pick up your phone and open the photos app. Scroll down a few times until you find the photos from a special event like a birthday party, a wedding, a new baby, a holiday or trip. Have you ever tried to share that with anyone using only your phone? It’s a bit tricky and of course limited by the size of the screen. Sometimes the details of that photo aren’t as fresh in your memory as they once were. 

But imagine the idea of opening a professionally printed book featuring your favorite photos. The details of the photos printed right there on the page. That’s the beauty of a printed photo book. Plus, you decide what goes on every page. You decide what’s printed on the cover and spine of your photo album.  

This story serves as inspiration to find the perfect title for your photobook creations.

Travel Photo Album Title Ideas

The perfect backdrop for our love

Besides a suitcase, what’s the one thing you can’t forget to travel with? It’s your camera. We take tons of photos while we’re on vacation. But instead of leaving all those photos on your camera roll, print the best in a travel photo book. It’s a fun way to relive the adventure, writing the perfect caption describing every detail in the picture.    

Benefits of traveling with family

Traveling with your family is a great way to take them out of their normal routine and location. The 300 and some other days it’s life as usual. When you’re on vacation, everything changes. You experience the joy of trying other cuisines. And you eat together which may or may not happen at home. It also teaches kids about world culture and adapting socially. It also teaches kids the value of experiences over possessions.  

Travel photo book title ideas

Here’s a few photo album title ideas for your travel album:

  • Are We There Yet?
  • Bon Voyage!
  • Cruisin’ Along
  • Don’t Let It End
  • Enjoying The Ride 
  • Face In A Crowd
  • Good To Go 
  • Head For A Border
  • Life’s A Journey, Not A Destination
  • Motel Moments
  • Oh, The Places We’ll Go
  • Planes, Trains And Automobiles
  • Road Trip
  • The Long And Winding Road
  • Ticket To Ride
  • What A Wonderful World 

Or, if these don’t capture the essence of your trip, try a book title that’s you. It’s important to make it your own. Your satisfaction is key. 

Wedding Photo Book Title Ideas

It was your big day. All your friends, family, and loved ones were there in attendance. A special occasion like a wedding brings out so many great wedding photos. Enough that you certainly want them all in a wedding photo album. What’s in your wedding album is completely up to you. 

Why are weddings magical?

Not only do you get to gather all those important to you in one place, you also get to celebrate. Everyone in attendance bears witness to the union and love of two people. You put on your best outfit and go somewhere special. Attendees get to appreciate the moment the couple experiences. They also see people together all in one place. There’s just so much about weddings to appreciate. 

Wedding album title ideas

Here’s a few photo album title ideas for your wedding album:

  • Here begins the journey
  • Just Married
  • You & Me together in the journey of life
  • The wedding vows
  • A Day to Remember
  • Memories Forever
  • My favorite love story
  • The love story that I like the most
  • When he said “Will You,” I said “Yes.”
  • You have my heart in your hand
  • A love story
  • A dream come true
  • My heart belongs to you

Again, if none of these strike a chord, there are plenty of others to choose from. Or, title it whatever is in your heart. 

Family Photo Album Title Ideas

Every family has a story to tell. Those stories are handed down from one generation to the next. Word of mouth tends to lose details over time. Recording your family’s history in printed photo books ensures family memories survive for generations. It’s so easy to chronicle life’s moments and traditions in print. A bookshelf could be filled with volumes of Christmas, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and more. Instead of encyclopedias you could have your family story on hand.

Important reasons to record family memories

Memories fade if you let them. As a member of a family it’s kind of your duty to keep family stories alive. Family photos can easily be printed into high-quality photo albums that stand the test of time. You also get a perspective of how far you’ve come. “Back in the old days,” is always a good thing to revisit. It’s also important to capture the everyday moments because life is more than just holidays, trips, and birthdays. It’s learning to ride a bike or the fort you made with furniture cushions.  

Family Photo Book Title ideas 

  • Here’s a few ideas for the album cover: 
  • Family’s last name and the year(s)
  • Generations
  • Like Father Like Son
  • Family is forever
  • Better Together
  • Inside our sweet home
  • Celebrating Mom
  • My partner in crime
  • Happiness starts here
  • Two of a kind ( for siblings)
  • The musketeers
  • Adventures
  • To life & beyond
  • My family
  • Moments with Mom
  • Moments with Dad  ( customize your dedication)

There are plenty more title ideas to choose from. 

Anniversary Photo Album Title Ideas

Anniversaries are also great opportunities to make photo books. If you do so regularly, an excellent record is created. Imagine having a library of anniversaries to look back on. 

Reasons to celebrate your anniversary

We celebrate anniversaries to look back and reflect. It’s also a time to appreciate each other and the things you’ve accomplished. It lets you connect and you can do so someplace special. Treat yourself on your anniversary. 

Title ideas

Here’s a few ideas for your anniversary album names:

Two Together

365 days of Mrs & Mr

Miss being a Ms? Not me!

A decade with darling

Silver anniversary’s silver lining

Dazzling diamond anniversary

Coz baby you’re the best

Me, magic & marriage

Baby Photo Book Title Ideas

When a child is conceived, a wonderful opportunity presents itself. Besides adding a new member to your family, you’re also able to begin telling the story of someone. Instead of random photos spread here and there, you have the opportunity to chronicle someone’s life.  

Don’t miss these important milestones in your baby photo book

Baby books can begin with a “bump watch” to follow all the way to their birth. Then the “firsts” are as limitless as your imagination. The important thing is to capture with photography and then create the physical photo book. The story of your child can be told and shown in print.   

Title ideas

Here’s a few title ideas for your baby photo album:

  • From your head to your toes You’re so sweet goodness knows But you’re so precious to me Cute as can be, baby of mine – Dumbo
  • Now I lay me down to sleep…
  • Our Little Man
  • Shhh, Big Brother is here
  • The Reason I Breathe is You
  • Your new baby boy will bring you such joy
  • ‘Lil Luv Bug
  • (baby’s name) “au natural”
  • Best Seat in the House (For Potty Training)
  • (name) sleeps anywhere!
  • …and then there were 3.
  • 1 more makes 4
  • 10 tiny fingers 10 tiny toes…what lay ahead no one knows

Birthday Photo Album Title Ideas

Friends celebration birthday with cake

Singing happy birthday, serving cake, and blowing out candles are mainstays of birthday celebrations. There’s always someone taking photos. Birthday photo albums lined up on a bookshelf from age 1 to however old you presently are, might be one cherished collection to have. 

How did celebrating birthdays begin?

Birthdays can be blamed (to those of you who’ve seen your fair share) on the ancient Egyptians. Candles on the cakes are largely a product of the Greeks. We can thank the Germans for the birthday cake. Read here for more interesting birthday facts. 

Photo book title ideas

  • “Bear”ly One
  • (#) Great Years
  • 25 bits of advice at 25 years
  • 29 again?

And the list continues past the the “B’s”

Graduation Photo Book Title Ideas

Graduating class

Graduations happen just a few times in a person’s lifetime unless you’re one of those professional students. Chronicling a child’s educational career is important to many. Besides diplomas and certificates, graduation photo books are excellent tributes to their achievements. 

Are graduations still important?

No matter how many graduations you attend, it’s important to understand what it means to the person graduating. All their efforts leading to this day, culminate on that stage. It’s important to celebrate their moment. Here’s a great article on the importance of attending graduation

Title ideas

  • A tassel is worth the hassle
  • Achieve
  • Be all you can be
  • Believe and you’ll succeed
  • Classmates
  • Dare to Dream
  • Done!
  • Goodbye College … Hello Life!
  • He’s a Class Act
  • I Did It!

And there’s plenty more!

At one point, you were strangers, and now you’re so deeply intertwined in each other’s lives, it’s almost impossible to imagine life without each other. The journey of how you got from first glance to happily ever after is one that deserves to be memorialized in an anniversary photo book. Photography is one of the few real portals we have to access the intimacy of moments gone by.

You’ve probably been capturing moments that were relationship milestones on your iPhone for as long as you’ve been together — or had an iPhone, whichever came first. Whether it was a selfie before you left the house to go on your first date or, so many years later, a photo of your significant other cuddling with the puppy you’ve dubbed your “first child,” these images, pieced together, tell your very own Story of Us. 

Good news: With the Motif Photos iOS or OS apps, sharing these moments has never been easier. Check out these ideas to create an anniversary photo book that fittingly tells the story of your romance.

Pictures From Your First Date Until Now

Maybe you’re celebrating your 10th anniversary–or maybe it’s just been one whirlwind of a year. Treat yourself to a trip down memory lane. There’s joy in taking the moment to think back on the memories: that first sweet text (you know you kept a screenshot!), dates at your favorite Italian place, trips across the world, the first house, or the first preschool graduation ceremony. 

When you store photos of these special moments on your iPhone or Mac, Motif can automatically identify photos and autoflow them into a gorgeous, premium-quality photo book. It’s easy to add text as well, so you can explain that photo of a flower was given to you after your second date, or that the photo of the two of you dressed in 1980s-themed outfits was taken on the first night you said “I love you.”

Milestone Events

While the little moments in between are precious, there are certain milestone events that ultimately define the journey shared by life partners. Some of these moments worth capturing in a photo book include:

  • The engagement. The question was asked; the answer was “Yes!”
  • The wedding. Whether it went off without a hitch or the bridesmaid dresses arrived in the wrong color, you swore your love for now and for always. That’s a moment for the books!
  • The honeymoon.  Wherever you traveled, you did it together.
  • Your growing family. A little further yet in the story, you brought a little version of yourselves into the world together. Maybe that version had four paws; maybe it was a newborn; maybe it was an older adoptee. Either way, growing from “us” to “we” transforms your relationship forever. 

You’ll be able to customize your anniversary photo book with easy-to-create captions that highlight those monumental occasions. Choose from a variety of stylish fonts and narrate your journey: “Our Wedding Day,” “Our Honeymoon,” and “Our First Baby.”

Honeymoon Photo Book

Nothing encapsulates romance like the weeks that follow the wedding. The honeymoon also captures you in exotic locations, where both adventure and relaxation are a daily occurrence. Take romantic shots near notable landmarks and document every small moment that reminds you of your first journey together as a married couple.

Motif Photos can help you create a honeymoon photo book in a variety of sizes. If you’re looking for something large and luxurious, you might enjoy our 13” x 10” hardcover option. We can also create something as small as 8” x 8” if you want a portable “brag book” you can bring to work to show your coworkers, once you’re back in the daily grind.

Celebrate the Lives of Your Children

It’s startling how quickly your child transforms from hospital bassinet to freshman dormitory bed. One minute you’re singing lullabies; the next, you’re shouting, “Will you turn that music down?” Between sleeplessness and SnapChat, parenting can be tough for any marriage, but the shared experiences can also bring you closer together. 

A photo book of your kids’ childhood makes the perfect anniversary present; together, you can watch your sons or daughters grow up all over again.  Plus, you can use this book to do what every good parent should do–show your kids embarrassing pictures of themselves when they’re older.

Strike a Pose – Same Location, Years Apart

The key to a long and happy relationship is to not be afraid to get a little playful. If you’re looking for an entertaining anniversary photo idea, find some fun pics from early in your courtship, then re-shoot them. 

You can even combine ideas by taking a clever shot at your favorite travel destination. If you happen to enjoy London enough to visit every year, capture the feeling of change and progression by taking the same shot annually near Big Ben. Scenery changes, we grow older, but the love of your relationship endures.

An Anniversary Photo Book About Anniversaries

Celebrate your milestone anniversary by chronicling all of the anniversaries that built up to this moment. We often make the biggest deal about round numbers, such as the 10th or 20th anniversary, but these milestones wouldn’t be possible without a 9th or 19th, and each year that passes likely will be celebrated with date nights, quick weekend getaways, or even just a romantic card or Facebook message. Why not create a book that’s a quick flip through time, from the first celebration until today?

As you scan through the various hair cuts and clothing styles that have changed throughout your journey, you may also see a change of faces that appear at celebrations, or the addition of new ones as your family grows together. This is part of the fun!

Family History Photo Book

Old family photos are great for an anniversary photo book | Motif

Anniversaries signify making history together. Marriage isn’t just about joining the lives of two individuals, but about bringing extended families together in love and camaraderie. 

That’s why the perfect anniversary gift is a family history photo book. Compile an expansive collection of family photos to celebrate your shared heritage. Including older photos of parents and grandparents all the way down to your own children illustrates the scope of your family’s long and continuing story. You can even scan older, pre-digital photos for easy inclusion in your photo book.

Add some flavor that’s unique to your family by selecting a background color or pattern that carries a continuous theme. The Motif Photos app makes it as easy as selecting a color and pattern from a menu on your phone or desktop.

Make it About Something They Really Love

The most romantic anniversary gift you can give your partner is something that shows all you’ve learned about them over the years. Even if it’s not an interest you both are able to share, the act of compiling a photo book that celebrates their personal passions is a tangible way to say, “I get what makes you unique.”

You could create a music photo book for the musician or music lover. Get playful with photo book layouts that spotlight precious sheet music or mementos from favorite performances, as well as shots of the pre-concert tailgates.

Was it a passion for a sports team that sparked your romance? Celebrate each year’s Stanley Cup, or your travels to different football arenas. Bonus points if you support opposing teams and can intertwine some playful rivalry.

Anniversary Photo Books by Motif Photos

Documenting your photographic journey should be easy and intuitive for everyone. That’s why the Motif Photos app available on your iPhone and Mac is so simple to use. 

At Motif Photos, we believe in telling stories. With an anniversary photo book, you can share your love story with your partner, children, and future generations. Get started creating your anniversary photo book at home or on-the-go with Motif Photos today.
