I am feeling a little unsure of my proofs

Hollie,
I love your proofs. I hope to have so many nice ones as you do! You can just see the love and happiness in your faces!

Oops, I'm on the wrong board! my apologies!

That's ok Beth... you'll be on here soon! Thanks for replying!

I posted this on the 06 board and Sasha told me this was normal. While there are so many pics (and I love looking at them) I feel like they are missing something. I keep telling myself that is because they are raw and untouched. I have a ton of proofs and the discs with the negatives yet I am still a little upset. I don't know what is wrong with me.

OMG!!! I feel the exact same way!!! Everyone thinks I am crazy. I was actually a little down in the dumps after I received my proofs. I didn' t want to look at them. It's a little better now. It's so weird, it's exactly like you said, they were just missing something. I think you see other people's pictures and want that exact same shot but with yourself in it and it just doesn't work that way. The day flies by too fast.

I guess by the look of things, the way we feel is not uncommon.

I felt exactly the same way--I was soooo excited to get my pics and felt they were lackluster to say the least. Also there were a ton of pics where I felt I looked ugly, and they were just unflattering-- I mean, I know I didn;t look like that on my wedding day! And now, after just having done my album- I feel a lot better about them. Seeing everything laid out onto the table, really made it come together. And, also having the best pics-- made me realize there were some good pictures.

Also-- when people post pics-- they pick their 'Wedding's Greatest Hits'.. I am sure you have some of those-- trust me-- once you do your album you will feel better. Promise.
