We think a Valentines day photobook that documents your relationship or tells your story is hands down the best Valentine’s Day gift there is! And the good news is, it’s easy! Let us show you how…

Decide what you want your Valentines Day photobook to be about

How do you want to tell your story? Is there a thread you can use to pull it all together? Here are some ideas.

  • Chronological: Year by year, pull out some highlights and let your book read cover to cover like a highlights reel of your relationship from beginning to present.
  • Love Letters: Find old WhatsApps, notes you’ve sent each other over the years and infuse your photo book with these love notes and pictures of you as a couple through time.
  • Holidays With You: Best holiday memories in one photo book
  • My Favourite Memories With You: Pull out some of your mountain top memories of your time together and document them in a photobook.
  • This Is Why I Love You: Write down all the reasons you love your partner and couple with a cute pic
  • Falling In Love: No matter how long you’ve been together, the story of your falling in love never gets old. Why not put it on paper to be remembered and shared forever. Ask others to contribute their first impressions of your partner, pull up old texts/emails/notes you wrote to each other.
  • The Places We’ve Called Home: Showcase photos of the places you’ve lived together or significant locations in your relationship, like your first apartment, your favorite coffee shop, or the park where you shared many walks.
  • Our Greatest Achievement | Love Multiplied | The Story of Us as Parents: For those who have been together a long time and grown a family, a special way to document your love is celebrating what you created together - your family.
  • Loves’ Chapters: Life has been described as coming in Chapters - defined by different things, geography, feelings of tough times or good times, heartache, loss, change. If you can see clear chapters in your time together, this is a really special time to reflect on and take stock of the highs, lows and everything in-between.
