I have been obsessed with pictures over the last few days. Not only did we get our honeymoon pictures back, but we also (finally) got our wedding proofs.
Holy cow, folks. These pictures are incredible. And the lesson for the day is: find a photographer you like and who does really good work. Skimp on other parts of the wedding, like the flowers and the food. Nobody will remember what your flowers looked like or what they ate. You will always have your pictures. Get the best photographer you can possibly afford to get, even if it means cutting corners in other places.
The difficult part now is going to be deciding which proofs we don't want. I would say it is deciding which ones we do want, but I want just about them all. Unfortunately, at $10 a pop, I cannot afford to buy them all. (Yes, I know, it is expensive). I am dipping into my savings for this, however, because it is a one-time expense and I don't want to regret later not buying ones I really wanted because of money concerns. We do get a few enlargements with our package, but any other pictures that we want, we have to buy the proofs (or pay more than $10 each for enlargements).
The good news: the photographer now has online proofing, which means that I can send y'all the website and you can see the pics! (You can even order a few if you like, but of course you can look for free.) I am picking my favorite 100 proofs or so to post (this is about 1/3 to 1/4 of what he took, but in my opinion, they are the best ones.)
Time is running out and school is approaching all too quickly. It seems my list of things to do is not getting any shorter, though our condo is getting much cleaner (hopefully we will get to it some more this weekend.) I haven't really even thought about the start of school. I am trying to get my personal/home life in some semblance of order before I try to tackle getting ready. I think I will start going to school sometime next week, though. There's just too much that needs to be done!
P.S. Honeymoon pics are now posted on Shutterfly (the ones from D's digital camera. My 35 mm pics are not posted, but maybe I'll scan a couple of the best to post). Let me know if you didn't get the email with the website.

Congratulations! I want to see pictures! :)
Ouch on the price of the pictures, though. Our photographer enjoys taking photos more than developing them, so we paid her for her time and she assigned the copyright to us, meaning we could make as many copies as we want, distribute them electronically, and all without paying any more. It was a good deal. I can't say most of the pictures were 'incredible,' but we've got a decent number of good ones.
