I’m a photographer, so even after I found the photographer of my dreams, Belathée, to shoot my wedding, I just didn’t feel done!

A couple days ago I showed up to Andy Lin’s apartment with a crumpled piece of paper covered in notes taken from our previous conversation, hoping my sleep deprivation would remain unnoticed… it wasn’t — I somehow managed to use “transcendental” and “metaphysical” incorrectly that evening.
