Yes it is odd and you highlight some of my recent arguments discussions with the future Mrs. Treehugger over the selection of a photographer for our upcoming nuptuals.

Mind you, I was advocating handing out digital cameras to the attendees which could have the effect of creating the Blair Witch kind of wedding photo memories as opposed to the kind you note.

There has to be a happy medium somewhere; preferably one that won’t set me back two grand.

I attended the wedding of a friend not so long ago where there was no official photographer - but there was no lack of digital cameras.

After everything was over with all were loaded onto a computer, copied onto CDs, and made available to any in attendance who wanted a copy.

It made for a very interesting, eclectic, and friendly, collection of formal and informal images as each photographer captured what he or she thought was important or worthwhile. As such I have images of everything from the formal exchanging of tokens, the actual (as opposed to the staged) ‘you may now kiss the bride’, to the new bride and groom lounging in a hammock (still in their wedding attire) with their son.

They are the best collection of wedding photos I have ever seen… let the future Mrs. Treehugger know that you could do a heck of a lot worse than having what your friends and relatives wanted to remember about your special day hanging in the hallway :-)

SL, I have seen a wedding done in exactly the fashion you refer to and it turned out pretty well.

Or maybe I am just being a cheapskate. ;)

I will have you know that she is a lady and wouldn’t be caught dead performing gratuitous sexual acts in the laundry room.

But you might have seen us in the Bunker copy room last weekend. We’ve got Xerox’s of the whole sordid affair.

*Perplexed*

What the heck’s wrong with the laundry room?

Congratulations TH :)
