Mrs. Taco's Picture
Mrs. Taco, San Francisco Age and Occupation: 29, writer/editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 37, editor Engagement Date: May 13, 2009 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: The Green Room at the War Memorial Veterans Building About Me: I like laughing and talking with good friends over good food and good drink, be it wine, cocktail, or brew. I write and edit things for fun and profit, but I rarely "write" these days without a keyboard and high-speed internets. Favorites include Mr. Taco, my Boston terrier, San Francisco, getting out of town, and the Roaring ’20s. I was kind-of planning a wedding since roughly 2006, when I discovered "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" on the WE channel. I ran and didn't look back with a theme I called "urban vintage," and it culminated in the most magical day a taco could ask for.

Best of the Phone Cameras

October 21st, 2010 @ 3:18 pm by Mrs. Taco

So, wedding pictures, turns out, are large, plentiful, and not exactly internets-ready when you get them back. After a week, we finally backed up all of our wedding pics and honeymoon pics on the hard drive. A week of constant file-moving! Yikes!

I’m sure that/hope you (especially the Mrs.!) understand, so I decided to put together a post of starter recaps in the form of phone photos.

I have a soft spot for phone photos. Ever since the janky little camera on my Razr about 100 years ago, I’d often stop and take pictures of objects, landmarks, or animals on my walks around town. I also liked how they seemed to be artful in their own right. So, what with these new-fangled apps and vintage layers you can tack on to just about every picture you take on the go, these made for some very charming wedding pictures we treasure alongside the fancy-shmancy ones. So, here’s an offering: the best of the phone cameras, brought to you by our wedding guests and their iPhones, mostly.

We eat dinner like this at home, too. Pic by groomsman David, who noted I was “running a train on some food,” our new favorite saying. Check out the little can light doing its uplighting duty off to the left.

Usher Daniel called his masterpiece “what have we done??” and shortly thereafter proclaimed it the best photo taken all night.

Pic by friend Jason. The green tinge makes me happy in this one, probably because it highlights how the venue is green and vintagey inside.

Dallas-based buddy Carl did many of our tattoos, including this one and some of the more hilariously regrettable ones from my mister’s youth. (Carl is actually quite good now.) Groomsman David is with him, presumably taking a break from making awesome phone pictures. Pic by friend Stacy.

On that note, still more to come! Real recaps next.

You look beautiful! And I have to say I love my iPhone camera, I have an ap called “hipstamatic” that I use all the time now, ever since I destroyed my real camera.

What a neat idea! I haven’t seen too many posts focused on cell-pics. You looked great and those feather centerpieces are looking pretty awesome. I can’t wait to see the pro pics!

@kirabee: They came that way to us, so I’m pretty sure there’s an app that puts the square rounded things on. I have an Android phone so I don’t ever understand what people’s iPhones can do :D

THANK YOU to everyone! It was such a great day and I could look at the pictures again and again. Including the phone-pics!
