In real life you invite someone to something with an invitation, or a gentle toe tap on the restroom floor. However, in wedding world before you can invite someone you must them send them a save the date, then you send them an invitation, followed by a call five minutes before the ceremony to ask where everyone is.
Sarah wisely rejected most of my ideas for the save the date (or STD for short), including both of us with fake mustaches and the two of us in wedding outfits sitting next to Lincoln on a porch swing. I shot down her ridiculous idea of us smiling into a camera, along with her idea of me kissing a body length mirror.
Consensus for an idea was reached the night before President’s Day at Prost!. An example of the concept is posted above.
We then borrowed our friend Ryan and our friend Sophia’s house.
Ryan is a very talented picture taker person; no doubt you’re familiar with his work. He was constantly worrying about things like light, color, shadows and how much Sarah was drinking.
The shoot lasted about an hour, and it may have been the first time that I have ever cursed the Seattle sunshine.
Oh, and we managed to sell Sarah’s mirror kissing idea to Alex Rodriguez.
