Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion! But even though the actual celebration only lasts one day, the memories will last an eternity. During the ceremony and reception, your wedding photographer snapped plenty of photos, forever freezing those precious memories in time so you and your spouse can reminisce for years to come.

Many put their wedding photos in an album and store them away or post them on social media where they'll eventually disappear, buried beneath a mountain of newer posts. But what if you want a constant reminder of that special day? Consider framing your wedding photos and placing them on prominent display. Here are four reasons to get your wedding photos custom framed instead of storing them somewhere you'll rarely see them.

An Everyday Reminder

If you place your wedding photos in an album, you'll only get to see them occasionally. If you want to look at your photos every day, frame and display them instead of stowing them away in an album. That way, all you need to do when you want to relive those memories is look at where they're displayed. No frantic searching or rummaging around necessary—and when you're done looking, you don't have to put your wedding day memories away. They'll always be there for you to admire.

Decorate Your Home

When you frame your wedding photos, you turn them into decorations that you can use to adorn you and your spouse's new home. Hang your photos in the living room over the love seat, arrange them neatly above the fireplace mantle, or place them above the console in your front hallway so that every time you walk through the door, you remember that special day.

Protect Your Photos

Another reason to get your wedding photos custom framed is that sturdy frames protect your photos. Most frames consist of several pieces—a dust cover, backing, a mount, a mat board, a thick pane of glass, and the frame itself. Your photos will enjoy protection against dust, dirt, moisture, and other elements. With a frame, you can ensure your memories remain in wonderful condition for years to come.

Make a Memory Wall

Your wedding marks the start of your lives as a couple. From here on out, you and your spouse will make a lot of memories together! To commemorate the start of your new life together and to prepare for the many years ahead of you, why not create a memory wall using your custom framed wedding photos?

You can add to this wall as you make new memories. Include pictures of your honeymoon, children, anniversaries, dates, and more, and watch as your story unfolds.
