Prettied Up Pictures!

On Friday, I got the disk from our photographer of prettied up pictures.  We already have the originals (one of the many reasons Christy is awesome), but she retouched about three-hundred pictures.  There's still a few more photos I'd like to retouch myself and share with the world (including the one of Cody getting his foot caught in my dress), but all of the pictures she retouched are now posted on our Shutterfly site so we can start working on designing our photobook.

See a picture you'd like to have?  They aren't all of us!  We gave our photographer specific instructions to wander around photographing our guests.  You can download full-resolution pictures from the Shutterfly site.  Here's the directions, written especially for my mother who apparently didn't read them the last time.

I'll be posting them to Facebook...eventually.  In the meantime, if you post them online, please make sure to credit Christy (http://www.facebook.com/carpediem.ky).  A lot of photographers are a pain-in-the-butt about digital rights, so it's nice being able to post the images online for everyone, but she still deserves to be recognized for her work.

Download Instructions

1.  Click on an album.
2.  Click on the picture you would like to download.
3.  Move the mouse over the picture.
4.  A menu will appear on the right-hand side of the picture.  Select "Download."

Photobooth Pictures!

Everyone seems to have had a great time using the photobooth at the wedding.  Since there are still a few of our guests that are Facebook challenged, I've posted a copy of all of the photobooth pictures here on Photobucket.

To Download A Picture:

• Go to our photobooth album on photobucket
• Click on the picture you want
• Move the mouse over the picture
• Move the mouse over "File" which should appear in the top-left corner of the picture
• Click on "Download"
• They're proportioned to print on a 4x6, if you'd like hardcopies

Feel free to download as many pictures as you want!  Some of them might make good blackmail!

Married!

I'll be posting many more photos upon our return (our photographer downloaded almost 3000 pictures onto our computer), but here's one picture from the wedding day.

Meet Our Photographer!

Our photographer is actually someone I've known for quite a long time.  She was in my sister's class from elementary school and spent quite a lot of time over at our house.  Because of the magic of Facebook, I happened to see some of her work and that she was doing photography professionally.

In addition to being our paparazzi for the day, she will be doing her best to capture guests being...well, guests at our wedding.  Dancing, talking, playing games, laughing and generally having a good time (or so we hope).  So, if you see her sneaking up on you at the wedding reception with her camera, just continue with that embarrassing story you were telling or goofy move you were showing off on the dance floor.  These are the types of memories we want to keep and treasure for years to come.  Yes, including that stupid face you make when you laugh.  Don't worry, we won't post the really embarrassing ones online.
