Wedding photobook in Egypt: your wedding in a hardcover book

The photographer sends hundreds of files, and then they sit in a folder. A Tru Photo Book puts the day in order, on paper, in a book that stays on the shelf.

In short

A Tru wedding photobook is made from your own wedding photos, from your photographer’s files or your own: an A5 hardcover (14.8 × 21 cm), case-bound, with 26 or 50 pages of 200 gsm archival matte paper, printed and bound in Cairo. It works for a wedding, a katb ketab or an engagement, and it also makes a gift from family to the couple. Books are delivered across Egypt or picked up at a Tru booth; to order, message Tru Booth on WhatsApp.

A wedding album you will actually open

Wedding photos have never been easier to take or harder to look at. They live in a shared folder, on two phones and in a link from the photographer that expires. A printed book is the one copy that is always there, and the one your family will reach for.

A Tru Photo Book is a compact A5 hardcover. It is not a heavy studio album that lives in a box: it is small enough to hand around at a family lunch and made to last on the shelf, on 200 gsm archival matte paper, case-bound and printed in Cairo.

Which photos go in a wedding photobook

You can use any photos you have the files for. Most wedding books mix a few sources.

Your photographer’s files
Ask for the full-resolution files, not the web-size previews or the photos posted online.
Your own and your guests’ phones
The candid moments the photographer missed: the cousins, the table, the end of the night. Ask guests for originals.
Your photo booth strips
If you had a Tru booth, the strips from the night belong in the book too, guests and all.
The katb ketab and the engagement
One book can hold the whole story, from the engagement to the wedding night, or each can have its own.

Telling the day in order

A wedding book reads best in the order the day happened. A simple running order:

  1. Getting ready

    The dress, the suit, the details, the people in the room.

  2. The katb ketab

    The signing, the families, the first photos as a married couple.

  3. The zaffa and the entrance

    The moment the night begins.

  4. The couple

    The portraits: give one or two a full page each.

  5. Family and friends

    The group photos, then the candid ones.

  6. The party

    The dancing, the booth, the last song.

Wedding photobook questions

Can I use my photographer’s photos?

Yes. Ask your photographer for the full-resolution files and send them to us. Any photos you have the files for can go in the book.

Can I mix photographer photos and phone photos?

Yes. Most wedding books mix the photographer’s portraits with candid phone photos from the couple and the guests. Send originals, not WhatsApp-forwarded copies.

Can one book hold the engagement, katb ketab and wedding?

Yes. A 50-page book has room for the whole story; a 26-page book suits one day.

What size is the wedding photobook?

A5 hardcover, 14.8 × 21 cm, with 26 or 50 pages of 200 gsm archival matte paper. Extra pages can be added in blocks of four.

Can I order extra copies for our parents?

Yes. Message us with how many copies you need and where each one goes.

Do you deliver outside Cairo?

Yes. Books are delivered across Egypt, or picked up at a Tru booth.
