your enlargement!!!!

Hiiiiiiiii...I am really confused about choosing our enlargement portrait. Like, I found a couple of proofs I like that is a headshot of us... and one with half of us shown (the pic is cut off at our waists)and not as many of us full-length. I always imagined that my enlargement would be full-length but I am not crazy about the way it came out for some reason and cannot imagine it to be our enlargement (I know that sounds strange sorry). What kind of photo did you girls choose?!! Does it have to be fulll-length?

TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: your enlargement!!!!

It can be anything you want as long as you can fit the picture on the frame (if you plan to have the picture hanged on the wall). Personally, I'm a huge fan of b&w photos! It gives all photos a classic and vintage look. Not all enlargements have to be full length, it really depends on the look and detail that the photographer chooses to emphasize. I'm sure that which ever portrait you choose, it will look beautiful!

We chose a headshot but in all honesty, we have tons of wedding pictures (a few larger pictures) around the house, haha.

Re: your enlargement!!!!

We have 2 enlargements. Both are full body shots. One of them we're sitting down so it's not like we're very small. You can use what ever you like. The only thing you should be careful about is if you do a head shot, make sure it's not going to be too big. We really love some of the headshots my photographer took but if we enlarge them, our heads would be the size of a beachball. For something like that, we did 5x7s.

I agree on the B&W photos. DH and I really love our avatar photo. It's actually sephia.

We didn't enlarge this one because you only see the profiles of our face. We might still enlarge this one. Just have to find some wall space to hang it.

We are getting full body shot because we have great ones on the beach and near the water.

Thanks Cassie! (Oh no now I have to think about b&w too lol!) Actually I heart b&w photos

Re: your enlargement!!!!

we agonized over this! i pulled out at least 5 different shots, most were full length b/c i wanted my whole dress in the shot. So we wound up with a full length for our biggest enlargement, but a closer head shot for a smaller enlargement.

I like that idea, one headshot and one full-body so your dress is shown

Re: your enlargement!!!!

I haven't even given this any thought. Although we did get an enlargement from a shoot we did in Chinatown. We are both sitting. Although there was one of us standing that probably would have been a good choice.
