I was scrolling through our wedding photos to pick one out to post to socials on Sunday (that’s our anniversary), and remembered something funny (?) that (maybe?) I didn’t blog about last year.
Our wedding photographer was a classmate of Steven’s from high school, and we saw her in Kansas City in December, and one of the first things she said to us was to apologize for how our wedding photos turned out. She was saying how our 2007 wedding was the end of a photography style that she stopped using shortly thereafter and she would NEVER edit photos that way now.
Basically, I think she looks at our photos and feels embarrassed. Ha.
But they don’t bother us at all. Yeah, they are kind of the “photojournalism” style of the time, but don’t all wedding photos look aged at some point? We told her all this. I think she still offered to take our photos for free. Then complimented me on still looking so young, which is nice, but I don’t look THIS young:
Also, is that brown my real hair color? It wasn’t dyed so it must be!
I look at our wedding photos and think:
- Holy cow we (us and everyone else) look young
- I don’t talk to a lot of these people anymore
- Too many of these people are deceased
- What a fun day that was
- How lucky I am to have met Steven so young, awww. Happy anniversary to us!
Happy 17th Anniversary Kim and Steven!!!
Thank you Denise!
Ah yes. Seems like only yesterday you were attending DaveCago even though you were getting married in short order. Hey, at least you had your priorities in order! Happy Anniversary!
It does! How was that SO long ago? What a fun night. Thanks for organizing!
Thank you!
Wow, that is a funny thing to say! Yes most pictures from 2007 look like they were not taken in 2024 – that’s not a good or a bad thing.
Happy Anni!!!
Exactly! We totes do NOT care.
Thank you!
Sounds logical to me too that the style of photos would have changed…
Happy anniversary!!!
Right? No big deal!
Thank you!
I think it would be kind of odd if the styles didn’t change! I mean, from here the photos of the 70s and 80s look hilarious to me, but they’re distinctive–very of their time–and that’s a good thing! Happy anniversary.
That’s what we were thinking! And thanks!
That’s such a wild comment, haha. I’m glad you still love your photos – of course they look like they were taken in 2007!
HAPPPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
Right? I think she was feeling bad her artistic style changed and projecting it on us but we don’t care LOL.
Thanks!
Love the hair comment! Whenever I look at photos from nearly 20 years ago (which – egads – these are) I think how young I look and how NOT stressed. Would love to get back to that state – not to that age, though! Love the pics – and the response to the photographer. 🙂
Aww, would love for you to feel less stressed too <3
