Why I’m keeping my wedding photos to myself (& off social media!)
Inviting people to your wedding who take blurry camera phone pictures of your first dance and your cake cutting and then put them on Facebook is the first lesson in wedding humility, letting your vanity go in cringe-inducing waves of overly indulgent boob shots and bad camera angles. The thing is, though, that I don’t owe my social media community anything more than that. After all, I am just a normal, average person. Our most extraordinary day was a mere blip on my newsfeed map, but for me, it was so much more than that; it was the start to a lifelong journey of which I can only hope to be nothing but happiness.
Grab a tissue: this LGBT Disneyland engagement story needs it
Ohana Photographers’ David got to shoot the Disneyland engagement session of his own daughter, April, and her partner Mariah. This is awesome and magical in itself, but he also wrote a pretty rad manifesto about it here. I couldn’t stop myself from stealing two little excerpts for you guys to enjoy, too. So read, grab a tissue, and then get to enjoying the sweet Disney-fied engagement of these two ladies.

Is a GIF photo booth the way to get all your guests to change their profile pic?
This amazing two-dude vintage wedding had a very fun photo booth alternative: a GIF photo booth! It’s pronounced GIF, not GIF, btw (oh terrible internet jokes…). Since we’re already in the thick of internetting, GIF-ing our guests just seems like the right choice for maximum funs. Plus, imagine how many of these GIFs will become profile photos? Like, all of them?
