Keep the romance real with a Valentine’s photo book
Valentine’s Day is your chance to celebrate love exactly as it is — the magic, the whirlwinds, and the quiet moments side by side, sipping coffee while scrolling on your phones.


This year, forget the over-the-top gestures or grand clichés. Instead, find the moments that make your relationship unique, from the big adventures to the little things that only you two share. For a Valentine’s Day gift that hits deeper, put it all into a romantic photo book.


Easy to make and guaranteed to bring a smile (and maybe a happy tear), a sleek Valentine's photo album captures your story in a way nothing else can.

What makes a memorable Valentine’s Day gift?
When Valentine’s Day rolls around, so do the usual suspects: chocolate boxes, flower bouquets, and those comically oversized teddy bears. They’re fun, sure, but let’s be honest — they’re not exactly groundbreaking.


Valentine’s Day deserves something with a little more meaning, something that sticks around long after the flowers wilt or the last chocolate is gone. With personalised photo gifts, you get to turn your shared moments into something tangible, something that can’t be replicated off-the-shelf.


When in doubt, make it personal.

Why a photo book will steal the show this Valentine’s Day
So, why go for a Valentine’s photo book over any other custom gift? We’re glad you asked.


As well as creating a rather romantic gesture your partner will love, a Valentine’s photo book is something you can pick up years down the line and flick through together. It’ll remind you not only of the memories on the pages themselves but the thought that went into curating the collection, too.


That’s not all. Photo books also give the chance to personalise every page, adding captions, frames, and even your own handwriting. Sneak an in-joke on the first page or add that photo of the time your tent collapsed at a festival, complete with lyrics from the band you should have been dancing to. Or why not include a collage of snaps from your first holiday together — the one where getting lost meant you found the most incredible place to watch the sunset? ugh together. It’ll remind you not only of the memories on the pages themselves but the thought that went into curating the collection, too.

Creating a Valentine’s photo book is a breeze with MyFUJIFILM
Our photo book design process is smooth and super easy. Create something you and your special person will love with zero hassle. Want to know how? Here are the steps to follow:
1. Choose your photo book style and size
  • Premium Photo Books: Hardcover or Softcover, these photo books put your pictures in the spotlight. Lay-flat binding means you can enjoy your romantic memories in all their glory, and our high-quality FUJIFILM Original Photo Paper ensures crisp, vibrant photos.


    Decide if you want to go portrait, landscape, or square, and choose a small, medium, or large design.


  • Standard Photo Books: Our Standard Photo Books are just as lovely. You’ll get classic binding and a choice of Softcover or Hardcover. Digital printing paper is perfect for colour brilliance and great contrast.


    These photo books are available in multiple sizes and orientations.


  • Linen Photo Books: Looking for a Valentine’s photo book that screams chic? It has to be our Linen designs. Go for landscape, portrait, or square, with dimensions up to 29x29cm. These albums are the same quality as our Standard Photo Books but feature an oh-so-sophisticated fabric cover.


    As these books don’t include a photo on the front cover, they can add an extra element of surprise to your Valentine’s gift, keeping that suspense going for one more page….


  • Mini Photo Books: Small size, big feels — our Mini Photo Books pack plenty in. They’re made with our Premium Photo Book features and available in fun-size 10x10cm, 10x15cm, 13x13cm, and 13x17cm options.

  • Easy Photo Books: Choosing a Valentine’s Day gift doesn’t have to be difficult — as our aptly named Easy Photo Books demonstrate. With 20 pages and dimensions of 8”x8” (20.3x20.3cm), there’s loads of room to add all your favourite snaps. With this type of photo book, you can sit back and relax after uploading your photos — we’ll do the rest for you.


    Our Easy Photo Books come with a choice of vinyl cover colour, and because they are printed here in the UK, they’re available with fast delivery! Left it to the last minute? Your Valentine will never know…

    2. Add your snaps
    The really fun bit — adding your photos. Our design tool makes this nice and easy, and you can simply upload your snaps from your computer, device, or drive. We’ll even let you know if the files are too small to get the best quality results.


    Wondering what other pics to include in your romantic photo book?


    If you want a starting point for choosing your snaps, sprinkle a few of these into your collection:

  • Unplanned shots that capture you being totally yourselves — no soft smiles here, just pure, unadulterated, goofy laughter.
  • Special occasion photos, from your cousin's wedding to your anniversary date night at your favourite restaurant.
  • Everyday moments that are just as important as the big ones. It might be walking the dog in the park or simply random moments that make life feel like it’s going right.
  • Places with special meaning, like the spot where you first met or that getaway you love to escape to together.
  • Snapshots of love notes, gifts, or other little things that might seem small but mean the world.

  • Of course, the list above is just for inspo — go wild with the pictures that mean a lot to you and your loved one.

    3. Arrange your photos
  • An annual event: Want to start a new Valentine’s Day tradition? Include photos from the past 12 months together, then plan to do the same thing next year. (Our Mini Photo Books are perfect for this). You can build up a cute collection of volumes and always have a go-to gift idea for future Valentine’s Days!

  • A love timeline: For something that expands beyond the year, chronicle your relationship journey from the day you met to your most recent adventures.

  • A day in the life: Who says the ‘Day in the Life trend (#DITL)’ is just for the socials? Make your Valentine’s Day gift a mini project, and document a single day of your life together. Document the simple stuff: that first coffee of the day when you’re still half asleep, the random moments like cooking dinner together (and maybe making a mess), or those chill evenings watching your favourite show, arguing over the remote. It’s a real, no-frills way to capture the love you share every day.

  • Your firsts: There’s something about the “firsts” in your relationship that stays with you — whether it’s your first date, first weekend away, or your first place together. These moments were the foundation of everything you have now. Add them to your Valentine's photo book as a way to look back on how far you’ve come and remember the little milestones that made everything feel new and exciting at the time.
  • 4. Make it your own

    Our design tool offers loads of flexibility so you can get creative with every page. Frames, text boxes, samples of your handwriting — you name it, you can add it. Have a play around and create a photo book that’s one-of-a-kind.


    You can also try our photo book design templates. From Scrapbooking 101 for a rustic vibe to The Photographer for a sleek and elegant aesthetic, these templates make it quick and easy to get a cohesive look with a professional edge.
