‘We Raised The Palate Of Instagram’ – Kanye West Is Proud Of That Wedding Photo

"I was like: 'I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz's photos.'"

Well he’s hardly the modest type, but this new Kanye quote kind of takes the biscuit.

The singer was speaking to a panel about his wedding photos and expressed his disappointment when photographer Annie Leibovitz pulled out of the Kimye nuptials.

West revealed how the power-house couple later “spent four days” of their honeymoon working on the wedding photo they later instagrammed “because the flowers were off-colour and stuff like that.”

Kanye wasn’t prepared to let his photographs suffer from the photographer’s absence, saying:

“I was like: ‘I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz’s photos.'”

Despite the photo bearing no resemblance to an atmospheric Leibovitz shot, Kimye must have been pleased that they managed to still claim the most ‘liked’ photo on Instagram ever.

“And the fact the No 1 most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic,” continued Kanye, “was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palate.”

Yes, he really did say that.
