The Wedding Photo Shop

Friday, November 24, 2006

Doolies and I spent yesterday shooting our wedding photographs. From what I’ve been able to gather, this is an Asian custom. Either before or after the wedding, the bride and groom trek down to an overpriced photo studio and spend a couple of days choosing outfits, posing for photographs at various picturesque locations, and selecting the finished photographs. This is an extraordinarily painful exercise for the groom. The brides really seem to dig it, however. I’m told there are many such sacrifices in the course of a marriage.

Check out the slideshow for the photographs. They came out better than I expected. While I can’t now say they were worth the pain, I'm told distance (in time) tends to dull it. And the pictures, well, the pictures will last a lifetime.
