Feeling squirrelly

I want this.

Playing photo went pretty well, I got some of my nerves out. However my mafia princess would not let me see a single shot. :pouty: She said she wanted to maybe play with them and pick through and send me some today. I am not waiting very patiently ...

Upcoming project: Screen Printing.

Ce n'est pas un mariage

So we have been looking into photographers ... correction he has been looking into photographers. As part of the work load break down that is his job.

I think we are between these 2:

http://www.lovebyserena.com/ or http://www.daniellecoverphotography.com/

Both within budget and both give full photo rights and an engagement session.

We are going to play camera with a friend today to get a better idea of what we like and to try to get some decent images of us hopefully looking like an attractive couple. I have a few ideas and some props. I have the snap braclet from the night we met ... books ... records ... old luggage ... red lip stick .. Lucy. Not sure if any or all of these will be used but it should be fun to play.

I like the idea of having a final print with the cursive french words This is not a Wedding overlayed at our feet.

Save the Date by firing squad

FAILED IDEA:

I wanted to play off this propaganda poster and have an image of us holding a boat like the one below with our date on it. However Alex commented the fact that all his mother's family was actually in the navy and had to deal with sinking boats that everyone might not enjoy it. Death by PC.

ANOTHER FAIL:

I really liked all the ads for Where the Wild are ... especially the one below. I thought we could go hide behind a tree and find that font somewhere. It got voted down.

FAILED as STD but now will be used for the website :

(Lucy won't be in the final .. I just thought it was cute)

A possible survivor =>

The library inspired invite is really fun but i am not sure we will totally pull it off. Here are some images I liked.

I liked this one too, but Phantom was not a fan:

OR we could go more DIY:

I like the library card ideas but I would like a good picture of us ... I also would really like to do a postcard. Not sure if that is compatable.

This room needs to be decorated for the cocktail hour .... where as for everything else I seem to have a million and one ideas, here I feel a little stumped.

mad mad world

Sometimes life is like a tragic circus, cry till you laugh (or vis versa).

My most recent project was actually inspired by a trip to an art gallery in NYC. My very tallest friend took us to a show were the artist had used broken records for mosaic portraits. It was awesome and got the wheels in my head turning. So Alex and I went to the outlet goodwill (yes this really is a place) and bought records by the pound. Here is what I have so far:

I am thinking table numbers right now but we will see what it eventually turns into.

Busy week when all I want to do is sleep.

profound lost

...
At times like this when I was feeling blue
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang"We live to dance another day, it's just now we have to dance for one more of us, so stop looking so damn depressed, and sing with all our hearts, long live the Queen"
