Invitation Photos

Branden and I took our invitation photos yesterday. Part of me wants them to be a surprise BUT a bigger part of me wants to tell you about them. :)

As before stated, I'm really not photogenic. Posed pictures just don't work well for me. Aside from that fact, we are too poor to hire a professional photographer. But, honestly, there's an even bigger reason we went for the pictures we did. See, there are maybe three dozen pictures of Branden and I that have been taken in the nearly three years we've been together. Of those pictures, at least 2/3 have been taken in photo booths. So...

Yesterday we went to an old fashioned photo booth that we know of and spent 2 hours and took 80 pictures. At first all I could see was how dumb I looked in all the pictures but then I started having fun. We started laughing and the smiles got real and, even though I'm still not photogenic, the pictures improved. Now I can't wait to send out our photoshopped-together strips of pictures to invite everyone to our very special, very Amber-and-Branden celebration... Which reminds me that I'm going to need some addresses pretty soon. :)

I am so excited! I mean, I already knew about this but I am excited to see it all come together. If you want me to help hand them out this summer you need to get them to me! Love you!
