The most important factor for getting a successful wedding album will be your choice of photographer. Here are some tips to ensure you pick a winner:

Interview the photographer and make sure your personalities mesh. There is never enough time in the schedule for the formal photos so everybody will be stressed out. You want to make sure the photographer will be able to put everybody at ease and efficiently get all the photos done without wasting time.
If you're working with a studio, make sure to interview the photographer who is going to take your wedding pictures and ask him to show you several wedding albums he has already done. You want to make sure that it's his work and not the work of another photographer. Some studios try to do a bait-and-switch where they will show you their best photographer's work but then let some inexperienced underling attend your wedding. Get references from weddings he has already done and follow through on checking them. If you're unsure of the person, find somebody else.

You have to decide what type of album you want. Do you want all formal photographs where everybody is posed. Or do you also want candid photographs of the wedding in process. If you can, find a two-photographer team. Often, one photographer will take formal photos and the other will take candid photojournalistic photos. It's nice to have a mix of both in your wedding album.
Make sure to understand exactly what's included in the bill. How many hours will the photographer stay or will he stay for the entire wedding? How many albums and photos are included in the base price? How much do additional prints cost? Will the pictures be in black & white or color? Some plans may allow you to purchase the negatives for a flat cost - check into it.
