Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I hate the ones where the bride is looking in the mirror either pretending to put on lipstick or brushing her hair. Drives me insane!!

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.

---

this is definitely mine, i'm giving FH strict instructions to avoid this pose!

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'

Boy could I relate to this one

Me too! And I hate the one where they take the bride's dress and lift it behind her so that it's used as the backdrop.

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.

This has to be the one I am going to skip.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I am not posting this to cause any trouble but IMO, this thread is offending a lot of us who have all the pictures that you mentioned that you did not like. My pictures are gorgeous and listening to you girls say how you do not like every picture that I have is getting me very upset.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

The one when the bride and groom are looking through the limo. I remember seeing those from the 70s.

that sad part is...we took that picture!! And now I have one immortalized forever LOL!!!

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

It is not necessarily a pose that I don't like. I personally can't stand any picture that looks like the smile is forced. If I am positioned and then allowed to move around in a small space, my facial expressions will be natural.

I did not want to be put in one place and told to smile. Just not me. Make me laugh and you will get my true smile.

Definately...can't stand that one

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

Some people take these Threads too personally. IMO we are all entitiled to our opinions. Just because we don't like something doesn't mean you shouldn't.

I was in a wedding in July and the photographer kept making us look like we were all talking to eachother. Those pics look so damn dumb. We are standing all set up and then he says 'ok talk to eachother!!!' What a waste of time. He should have taken candids of us talking to people, not all posed.

He did that in a lot of pics.

I have been on here long enough to know not to take anything personally that is posted on here, it is just that I thinbk that you should not be talking about poses that you don't like because if you saw my pics you would see that the poses that you do not like are actually my most beautiful pics.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I am not to big on pics with created illusions of rounded ground and other new dig editions, classy pictures will always look timeless compare with those once

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

---

I totally agree! those, along with the weird ones they took of us staning apart from each other are my most hated poses from our proofs--we didn't have the flowers around the train ( only 2 bms) & not DH with his foot on a rock, bench, or wall.

That groom -foot thing isn't that bad, it works better for some thatn others.

aww, Lisa. I don't think anyone meant it that way. Everyone has different tastes is all.

I think that we all appreciate the beauty in everyone else's photos, especially yours. But, for ourselves, to have certain poses that just don't seem 'right'.

To me, having been so afraid of staining my gown, if I were to see a picture of ME with bouquets around my dress, it would make me cringe. But, I've seen yours and I think it is really beautiful! But, you pulled it off well, you look beautiful.

See, this is what I would look like if someone tried to put a bouquet on my train...

I just couldn't pull it off!

To say that someone shouldn't voice an opinion on what they think because those poses are YOUR most beautiful pics is absurd.

If YOU like your pictures, then what do you care if other people think they are cheesey? YOU have to be happy with your pictures. You and your DH and your future children will be the ones to look at them in years to come, not the rest of us on the boards.

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

Once again, people on here sometimes take things too personally. Just because someone doesn't like a particular pose, that doesn't mean you didn't like yours. We are all going to like different things. If you don't like the thread, you don't have to read it. We all have pet peeves and to post how upset it makes you to read what others don't like....Come on now.....

I'm sure you have posted something about what you like or don't like and have had others disagree with your opinion.

Thats why these boards exist....so that we can all say what we like or dislike.

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!'

Against my better judgement, we had this one done and even worse, it was not on a beautiful green lawn, it was on the carpet in the catering hall! I hated all of the ones he took with the dress around me, but you know what? He took one close up of the two of us in that pose, and it was one of the best ones of the 300 proofs and we are using it as our thank you! So I guess my point is be open to whatever, because you never know how they will turn out. At the time we took it I was thinking 'what the hell????' but just went along with it and now I am glad I did

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I did not mean that no one could have an opinion, it is just that like dpli said you should be open to taking those shots anyway because you never know how they might come out and look until you see them.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that one-I totally agree-my FMIL is definately someone who would be thinking that exact thing

Re: Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

I understood the question as photos that you've gotten back from your photographer that you didn't like/or didn't make the album
