Family photo album help

I really need to sort out our family annual photo albums from the last few years

I’ve plenty of options for which app to use to gather and sort the shots on my photo reel into an album, but I’m a bit stumped on how best to collate my own and Mrs Craig’s photos before gathering in an album.

Does anyone have good experience with making this smoothish?

We’ve started on ios shared albums, but I was rather hoping I could find “there’s an app for that”

I should perhaps mention that we’re both on ios
