Picture Culling

So we finally took the bull by the horns and got down to the business of selecting wedding photos. As you may recall, our family friend the photog did us the favor of shooting over 2000 images over the two days. Me and the missus managed to cut that to about 400 in our first pass using his photo website.

It turns out that to make 400 pictures into one two volume album and an identical copy would cost just about what the wedding cost in the first place. So, back to the drawing board.

Still, Anne says designing is editing, right?

This time he culled out the photos we didn't like and so we were able to make little, low res proofs to work with...

Then we cut the Sunday album to 84

plus 13 hard to cut photos we've taken to calling "gone but not forgotten."

and then we cut Saturday to 84 images

it too had 13 leftovers.

Still, even with the 26 leftovers, cutting from 2000 to 400 to 194 is good work I think. Plus, I do think the album got stronger with each cut.

Now its up to the folks to see what we finally get in the end.
