Sooo we received our professional wedding photos and I really do love them. We hired a photojournalist rather than a traditional photographer so it's 90% candids and they are wonderful...HOWEVER....there are some pretty basic pictures he didn't take (like any pictures of the groom with his parents) and it's really beginning to bother me. There are some pics of his parents together-but none of them with DH or me....I also gave him a list of must have group photos and he took 2 of them. I also had to drag him to take ONE picture of me and my mom. That's all he took is ONE picture of me and my mom. We do have a million amazing pics from family and friends, but this is our wedding day...and more and more it's bothering me that these pretty basic pictures were missed. Do I say anything?? Is it even worth it? What would you do??

DH could care less. He doesn't understand why I'M so upset that there are no pics of him with his father. I just am!! I just think as a photographer there are some pictures that you should just KNOW to take. I mean I looove the pictures he did get, but I cannot get over the ones he missed. Especially since I gave him a list, although I don't think pictures with our parents even needs to be specified. Maybe it's PMS but I cannot get over this right now. It's really bumming me out.

I wasn't very happy with my pictures and was so heated over it for days! I ended up going through them again a few days later and realized they weren't so bad but there was still so much missing that I had wished they would have done or I had requested that they do. I ended up not doing anything about it! At this point I didn't know what they would have done for me so I figured I would let it go and do what I could with what I had.

Re: What, if anything, should I say??
I was mildly unhappy with my proofs also... after looking through them several times I realized that a lot of shots that I assumed were 'given' were missed, and there weren't THAT many of just DH and I together. But the thing is... no matter what you say or do, it's not going to give you those pictures you know? Even if the photographer did end up giving you some money back or something it's still not going to give you what you want. Like you said, you love the pictures that you DO have so I would just try to focus on that. That's what I'm trying to do too. I'm sorry you're unhappy!

I was happy with my proofs but I expected better. My sister mirrored my photographer up until the ceremony and she took better pictures then our photographer did.
But, in my photographers defense, we kind of put him in an awkward position. My SIL got married 7 weeks before us and he was her photographer as well. So, I asked him for different shots, which I guess equaled out to less and no candids. Alot of my must takes were missed as well.
She also got more candids of us and about 200 more pictures.

yknow....I had a photojournalist and I loved her, but I have no traditional shots....literally...I don' t have a pro bride and groom shot, or anything of myself for that bride collage. I do love my pictures, so I try not to sweat it too much.

Our photographer actually didn't get any pictures of DH's family lol It wasn't done on purpose, but we took pictures at the mansion/meuseum and we didn't invite family to come along. I didn't even think about it honestly.
Then the next day I realized we took a family pic with my family at their table, but never of DH's family.
I am not goign to worry about it b/c there is nothing I can do now. It ***** yes, but what can you do?
