I wouldn't put a note about how long it's been since the wedding. Just thank them, and if you want to put a picture in the card, I think that's a nice touch.
I'm sure people know and understand you are a student. Don't worry about taking even more time to write a note to explain it. To be honest, people probably won't want to hear it. Just get them out 
I agree with the PP's - write and send them as soon as possible without killing yourself. :) I always prefer a late thank you over no thank you. I think traditional etiquette says you have a year from your wedding, so you still have plenty of time.
Just get them out as soon as you can - I don't think you're too bad at this point. Would it be possible to make it in to a sort of Christmas card as well? As a guest, as long as I get one at some point, it doesn't really matter to me. I know life gets busy for newlyweds and sometimes, after a long day of work/school, you just really, really, want to take a night or two off from wedding-related anythings!
Agreed, skip the apology and get them out as soon as you can without having to skip studying, etc. A late thank you card is 100% better than no thank you card.
Three months isn't terrible - based on the title of this post, I was expecting you to say the wedding was 8 months ago or something like that. Three months is fine - maybe not ideal but it's still well within the acceptable timelines, no apologies required. If you want to include a picture, by all means, do so; I'm sure some people will assume you waited to send them out until you got the pro pics, so that may alleviate some of your guilt. Regardless though, you shouldn't worry - I think most people are just happy to receive a thank you note full stop.

I got married in august, 3 months ago (today, yay!), but I havent had a chance to get my thank you cards out yet. School started right after our honeymoon and I've been swamped just trying to keep up with all my work. I finally have some time to write them now, but I feel bad that its been a while. Should I write a note on the cards apologizing/ explaining why its been so long? I've been thinking of putting a picture of us with the people at the wedding in the cards for a more personal touch, and to make up for the delay a little too. Did anyone else here get cards out months after the wedding?
