And They Lived: Life After the Wedding

Notes

Photographers: In which I make a very risky decision.

I chose a photographer last night after the medicine that controls my impulsiveness wore off.

I didn’t choose a safe photographer. I didn’t even choose a cheap photographer—-he’s still $1500. I chose one whom I’ll have to fly in from New York. He’s not even a wedding photographer—-he does those hipster fashion photos, you know?
So no, we don’t get a photo album package.
We won’t get a tin print.
He won’t even give us prints. We have to get them printed ourselves.

What we will get is amazing art. We’re commissioning an amazing artist to walk around our wedding and make art, which he will then give to us on a DVD. To keep. Period. It’s our art. The way it should be, I say.

This is what I’m buying. And this. You should really look at all of it. It sort of blows my mind.

And I pray to God that in the end, it’s worth it.
