The couple, committed to having that hazy Leibovitz-style filter on all their photos, then took matters into their own hands and tried to recreate the photographer’s famous aesthetic by tweaking the photo themselves. “Because Annie pulled out, I was like, ‘Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz,’ and we sat there and worked on that photo for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color.”
Four days, though? Don’t worry, it was all in the name of bringing the medium of Instagram up to West’s lofty levels: “Can you imagine telling someone who wants to just Instagram a photo, who’s the No. 1 person on Instagram, ‘We need to work on the color of the flower wall,’ or the idea that it’s a Givenchy dress, and it’s not about the name Givenchy, it’s about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci—and how important Kim is to the Internet. And the fact the No. 1 most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette.” YES, ya‘ll it’s about the marketability of the couple and their friends–not their blissful union and commitment to raising a family with love and respect.
