Where to get wedding album printed?

    A friend of mine got married abroad recently, and used the services of the photographer that was recommended by the wedding planner which didnt work out so well.
    The photos were only average, and were not edited whatsoever to make any corrections, and the album itself was of very poor quality and badly designed.
    We managed to get a copy of the images in raw format, so we are going to start with editing the images in Photoshop.
    When the images are ready for printing, any recommendations on where to get them printed and put into an album?
    Any good quality upload sites where the images can be uploaded and the album designed and printed that you would recommend?
    Any recommendations appreciated.

    2 suggestions -

    Graphistudio. Very high quality stuff, but comes at a price. IMHO well worth it.

    For a book style that wont cost the earth try Shakespeare in Waterford. They've done the boards photo books for 2 years maybe at this stage. Recently I produced a book with them of old photographs with quite good results so I'd certainly use them again.

    Probably others but those two I've used personally.

    are you a photographer yourself/familiar with editing RAW files?
    if not, it might be worth throwing a few bob at a photographer to do this, an experienced eye might be worth the expense.

    Thanks for the advice. Am a amateur/hobbist photographer with a lot of experience with RAW and image editing, I just dont print that often and have no experience with printing a wedding album.
    Ideally I'd like to use a printer where I can upload the photos to their website and pick/design the album/photobook online.
    But it there are none that are good enough for a wedding album, a normal printer shop is fine, preferably in the Dublin area, as am based in Lucan.
