Please help me pick out our portrait! Please?

Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

We are meeting our photographer tonight! We spent sooooo much time debating our album selections, I just never focused on which proof to use for our enlarged portrait included in our package.

I just cannot decide and am turning to you girls to help me pick one. I'm not looking for something really close up, becuase I think when its enlarged it will be a bit scary!!!

Here are some of our choices Please note I scanned these photos and the quality is cloudy online, but in person all the proofs are crystal clear:

#1

#3 (without the fuzzy circle, I did that on Shutterfly):

#10

Please help!

ETA: DARN, I ran out of room on the poll. If you like #7 , 8, 9, or 10 can you just indicate that?

Thank you girls!!

They are all gorgeous, I think 7 would look great with a colored matte.

I like #5 because you can see all of your dress. They are all really nice though.

Re: Please help me pick out our portrait! Please?

I chose #5 because I like the background the best - it looks like you're in front of an Italian villa. I would crop it though so there's not so much background and you are more the subject of the picture.

P.S. - look at your proofs with a magnifying glass too. I didn't do this, and I noticed that when some of my pictures were blown up, there were things that I didn't like that I couldn't see when the picture was proof-size.
I hate the formal picture that I gave my parents!

So many nice ones to choose from.....this is going to be hard. I like 3, 4, 9 and 10.

But I like #9 the best.

Re: Please help me pick out our portrait! Please?

You ladies are awesome, thanks for all the advice and suggestions

I think I'm narrowing it down a bit , so at least its a start!

Anniegrl - you are 100% correct about looking at the proofs under a magnifying glass. I've done that already, and was shocked to realize there was so much I nitpicked and DIDN'T like in so many of my proofs.

That's why I was trying to steer away from anything too 'close up' I didnt need or want to see every visual flaw on my face

Re: Please help me pick out our portrait! Please?

I voted for #2, my second choice was #5 - you both look great in all of them and in those two pictures I love the background - I think it would be a beautiful portrait!
