Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

We've all seen them...the posed photo that drives us batty and needs to be retired. What's yours?

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I know that everyone has this picture taken...but, I don't like the pose with the bridesmaid's bouquets all around the bride's dress/train. My BM's had red/white roses and I was so afraid of getting stains on my gown from the rose petals (which happened anyway when people threw the petals at us in front of the church) But, I didn't have that shot taken cause I thought it was too old school.

Oops, I just realized that I started this thread and didn't answer my own question!

I really dislike a photo that's often taken of the groom. The groom is standing, with one leg raised (usually on some sort of rock, chair, stump...), knee bent, and looking like my HS prom date.

Even though we had it, I really hate the pic of the B + G with the veil over both their faces.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I absolutley HATE the one where the groomsmen lift the bride so she's 'lying' in their arms.

I'm not crazy about the male equivalent one either- the groom in the middle of the BM as they hike up their dresses. Can we say CHEESY!!!!

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

similar to suven's...I hate any picture where the bride is sitting on the floor with the dress all spread out, like she is melting into the floor. This pic has always bothered me!

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I am with you all so far! I have a thing about pictures of grooms with their hand underneath their chin. I have 6 brothers who are married and they all have that picture and I can't tell you how false that pic is!!!

Smiley, I am so with you on that one! You're wearing a gorgeous, incredibly expensive dress...why would you ever decide it's a good idea to sit on the ground???

My pet peeve is the bride & BM pic where they're posing like Charlie's Angels with finger-guns. 'Fromage' as the French would say

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I'm not too keen on the one where the mother of the groom looks proudly at her son knowing in your heart of hearts shes saying to herself 'I am gonna make his wife's life miserable when I move in with them'

I don't have one in particular I just don't really like many pose pictures I would prefer more of a photojournalistic style.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

Good Question!

I hate the one where the mom and dad are kissing the groom or bride - both cheeks at the same time!

LMAO!!! My MIL looks like she's in pain in most of those pictures with DH...maybe because she knows she will never, ever live with us!
