Wedding Photos Selection

This event was highly anticipated by my dear, for she had been saying that she was looking forward to this for quite some time. Guess that she was wondering how the photos will turn out. Prior to reaching the shop, we both made a pact to not exceed the allocated number of photos that we were supposed to choose. Two hours later, we were proud to announce that we succeeded in doing so by choosing only 34 out of the 200+ photos that were taken that day. 

Our first round was merely looking at all the photos that were taken, adding some comments and pre-selecting some along the way. Our second round was removing those that were aesthetically unpleasing which allowed us to have 100+ photos remaining. Our third round was done with considerations to the themes and that there should be a maximum of 4 for each, as we managed to come up with 12 themes. At this point, the number was down to 40. The last 6 was hard to remove and my dear mentioned that I was in fact more emotionally attached to the photos than her (But those photos are really nice). In the end, in order not to succumb to the evils of exploitative business ($80 for one additional photo was definitely absurd), some photos had to be sacrificed. 

We asked if we could take some photos of the photos in case we forgot what selection we made and the staff reluctantly agreed. We also secretly took one of us with our photographer, as the staff did not want to make any concession to our request to pass us any copy of that one photograph. 

The best I can do to avoid detection...

I hope the albums turn out nice.
