The Photo Booth

I was adamant about us not doing a photo booth at our wedding. I thought setting it up and maintaining it on my wedding day would stress me out, but Brooke insisted. I’m glad she did. We not only have some amazing pictures and a hilarious movie, but I think it also set a really fun tone for the night. And, when you have photographers as groomsmen and guests, you don’t have to worry about a thing. Thanks, guys!

I also learned an important lesson about marriage on my wedding night. Listen to my wife. She’s usually right.

I got to know some wonderful people last year in the process of bearing witness to some beautiful weddings.

I recently went back into my archive and selected a favorite moment from each wedding. To make things fun, the couple whose image receives the most votes from blog readers will win a $150 gift certificate to Salts in Cambridge, MA.

This process wasn’t easy. I have several favorites from each wedding. In the end, I simply picked the moments that resonated with me the most. Not every image has a bride or groom in it. Not every image will be the couple’s favorite. But each is a moment I personally felt connected to the celebration, transition, and love around me.

You can cast your vote at the bottom of this post.

Fine print: The images are in order of date. Image numbers and names are below the corresponding photos. Out-of-state winners, and those who prefer, can opt for a $150 American Express gift card instead of the Salts gift certificate. The voting will end at 11:59 p.m. EST on Tuesday March 31, 2009.

Put your friends and family to work, and get voting!
