    When we were picking out a photographer for our wedding, we heard a piece of advice that had stuck with me over the years. Which was to think of wedding photos as an appreciating asset that gets more valuable over time.

    You can look at your photos the week after the wedding and they might not seem all that special. The memories are still fresh and not much has changed. But then when you look at them on your 10th or 20th anniversary , it brings up those memories you had forgotten about. It reminds you of happy times with friends and relatives that might be dead now. Fast forward to 50 years later and those pictures might be the most priceless thing that you have.

    So yeah… AI photos might fill that Instagram need of modern weddings, but long-term feel completely worthless. Hoping this story is fake as well, but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to it.
