So… The pictures are great. Really, really great. We’re waiting to show them until we have time to pick our favs and start the artistic design process with Corey.

Mike narrowed down our choices to a scant 300 photos, so we have some work ahead of us. I had to get over myself at first, as I felt like about 1 in 10 photos were serious candidates. Most of the ones I didn’t like was because I didn’t like the way I looked, not because of how they were shot, should Mike still be monitoring this thread.

However, after my first pass, and I identified that we had 25-30 shots that were truly magnificent, I got over it. To me, it became like editing vocal passes. I fancy myself a pretty good singer, but I don’t hit it out every time the red light goes on. I have to sing it several times to get “The One…” and even after that, they sometimes need a little help.

This ain’t live theater..

We’ll start posting them as soon as we feel more secure in what we’re choosing to show.

That somehow enhances the awesome.

What a bizarre and wonderful experience! Thanks to Michael, Kayla, Terrie and Elizabeth for all that they put into this day. It seems cheesy to say but it was a red-letter day for both of us.
