Jerry Yoon, our star photog---an artist in every sense


I realize I haven't talked about our photog, he's totally awesome (brought to us by Sandy, one of my bridesmaids). Of course, we toyed with the idea of having Terence shoot his own wedding--he liked the idea of a cardboard cutout of himself. Somehow he couldn't sell me.


We interviewed a whole bunch and it was our first decision that we made, we basically planned our wedding date around Jerry's availability. When we met, we had a two hour long conversation about the angst of the creative process, which is wonderful--Terence and I looked at each other and were like "he's the one." He cares about not keeping to complacent or comfortable with his art. And he wants to shoot a green wedding. Then there is the fact that his shots are so good, it takes you a minute to figure out what the image is. Jerry is so talented, it makes your teeth ache. Like this shot.




Or this shot:



When you see his stuff, you'll see why. And Jerry was so great to work with us re our budget because honestly, he was out of our reach by just a little. Jerry, you're the best, thank you! Jerry Yoon.
