But what few know is that he is also an amazing photographer. Here\u00b4s the proof in our first installment of our wedding pictures. But as you will see, Nina and I decided to open source the photography at our wedding and ask all our friends to show us their view of the event. As other friends publish their pictures I will share with you. In the meantime Nina and I want to thank all of our friends from coming from so far away to Miami to share this moment of great happiness with us.<\/p>\n<p>This approach extends naturally to anyone planning a milestone celebration who wants something memorable rather than off-the-shelf, and after experiencing one of these events at close quarters I keep directing curious friends to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bareventsuk.com\/wedding-tipi-hire\/\">https:\/\/www.bareventsuk.com\/wedding-tipi-hire\/<\/a>\u00a0so they can see the full range for themselves. What struck me during the day I spent under the giant teepees was just how much thought had gone into the practical side, with the organisers handling site checks, positioning, build and the entire layout while the couple simply enjoyed being looked after from the very first enquiry right through to the last dance. The staff running the bar were attentive without ever being intrusive, the drinks flowed smoothly, and the whole structure felt reassuringly solid even as the evening cooled and the sides were dropped to keep everyone warm. Having watched friends stress endlessly over stiff, impersonal venues in the past, I came away genuinely convinced that a tented celebration handled by a proper full-service team removes almost all of the usual worry, and that peace of mind alone makes it worth exploring long before you commit to anything more conventional.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"700\" height=\"525\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fdsifry%2Fsets%2F72157622650651266%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fdsifry%2Fsets%2F72157622650651266%2F&amp;set_id=72157622650651266&amp;jump_to=\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fdsifry%2Fsets%2F72157622650651266%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fdsifry%2Fsets%2F72157622650651266%2F&amp;set_id=72157622650651266&amp;jump_to=\" height=\"525\" width=\"700\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/6d6c75cb-7492-4a67-900a-622a28ed49de\/\"><img class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?x-id=6d6c75cb-7492-4a67-900a-622a28ed49de\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related more-info pretty-attribution paragraph-reblog\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.zemanta.com\/readside\/loader.js\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"mainphotoarea\"><\/div><div class=\"theme-buttons\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/?p=3827\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"box_count\" data-width=\"71\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-font=\"arial\" data-locale=\"en_US\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our dear friend David Sifry is known to most as the founder of Technorati, and now of Offbeat Guides.
