Having a professional photographer boyfriend has its own perks. So what happens when you and your photographer boyfriend have to decide upon the perfect design for the wedding invitation card? You and your boyfriend, let your creative juices flow, right?

Same was the case with Rachel Watson few months before 1st June this year, the day she married her then-boyfriend Joshua Watson who is a talented photographer and journalist in the Los Angeles and Orange County area. With the help of Joshua's college roommate Jordan Nakamura who himself is also a photographer, Rachel and Joshua starred in their own personal movie and TV show posters.

The trio recreated seven posters from movies and TV shows like Inception, Walk The Line, How I Met Your Mother, Mad Men, etc.

Love it or loathe it, social media has changed the way we communicate, the way we access news and information, and the way we interact with our friends and family, all, arguably, for the better.

It has worked its way into every industry, sector and trade imaginable, including the big business of weddings. But should it play a part in such a traditional celebration and union of two people?  I’ve decided to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, to assemble a pro/con list, which should make the decision to involve social media in your special day that much easier...

The Pros

Social media will save you money. If your wedding budget is already strained under the weight of registrar fees and catering, chances are you’ll be looking to save money wherever you can, and an easy way to do that is to invite guests digitally.
