i am inku

This is a true story.

My wife and I hate our wedding photos. I take the blame – it’s totally my fault. It was my job to find a wedding photographer. The first question out of my mouth was, “How much do you cost?” The next question was, “What do we get for that?”

The person with the lowest price, the most stuff, and decent photos got the job. What I didn’t realize at the time was it doesn’t matter how much “stuff” you get. It doesn’t matter how nice the album is or how big the album is or how many pages you have. If your wedding photos are garbage, then all you have is a nice, big album with many pages of garbage photos.

It’s the kind of regret that you only understand if you’ve been through it. If you’ve been through it, then we both know you can’t do it over.

I invite you to do a few things:
