ADVICE!!! Need help on enlargements....

Original post by MrsBrags7706

Hey 06'ers.
I ordered alot extra from my photographer and my super large portrait was a 20x20 but with this picture alot of the Villa Lombardi's scenery [which I love] got cut off so my photographer are re-doing it to a 20x24.
Now as I'm looking trhough my proofs, this is STILL my favorite pick, and DH doesn't have a preference as to what I pick, so he says.
I just don't want to get the portrait, have it framed and matted and everything only for DH to say he doesn't like it, and come up w/ reasons why, like ie.: you can't see much of his face. I've told him a dozen times this was the 1 I was ordering and he never said anything.
Those who have viewed my LIW website, and see 1/2 of my proofs, do you, in ur opinion, since u don't see much of DH is a good choice?
Or maybe I'm just getting aggrivated because I don't know how the new size is gunna come out. Its' been over 6 months since our wedding day and I just feel like I should havr my portrait by now. . .
what do you think?

WHAT if, the photographer blows us up more in the image, but leaves the scenery the same size?????



I think that's a REALLY good idea! Best of both worlds!




Can that be done, you think?



another great idea!
That way it would look like you were in a romantic dollhouse of wedding-ness.

really...they are a great looking couple though...

maybe you could do like a 'bride montage' somewhere...

you know..have you guys all over the place...with osme other couples thrown in.

it's good visually when decorating...throw in an 'accent couple' when everyone is expecting you!

Re: ADVICE!!! Need help on enlargements....

Re: ADVICE!!! Need help on enlargements....

i dont know... i think a graphic designer with some skills could do it. I've got some serious skills.

OR you can do that trendy thing and do a 'day after' shoot. Throw on your wedding dress and DH gets his tux. Have your make up and hair done like you did on your wedding day or even something a lil different, have have some kick-a$$ shots re done the way you want it. It shouldnt be all THAT expensive - especially when you consider that you will be looking at these pictures for the rest of your G-d given life! AND you can sort of relive your special day!


Thats why we went the extra expense to upgrade our album! Just a suggestion.

I need to see more proofs to decide.




the ones on my liw webpage, are about 1/2 of my proofs i think . . .
i have alot of beach ones that aren't scanned. but i really didn't see any except this ONE i just posted [the original one[ that peaks my interest as a HUGE portrait]

and I already got 3 11x13's of:
--the kiss on the neck [on the balcony]
--the full body shot of me and DH looking down by the balcony
--the toasting [pose] shot w/ the champagne glasses



Honestly, since you've already got 3 pretty big pics of just the 2 of you, why don't you go with this one (or another like it)??



As for the 1st pic that you posted, that you love but DH doesn't, you could make that into something for just you. You can put it on a mousepad and look at it while you're on LIW!!

cause some people in the BP have PERMENANTLY PISSED ME off [caugh caugh DH'S SISTERS...CAUGH CAUGH] and i dont want to give them the satisfaction of hanging them on the wall in that large of a size
the other3 11x14's tho - one is donwstairs righ now, 1 is in the bedroom, and one is as soon as u walk up the stairs so its not like their all next to eachother. . .

I wanted to do day after . . . DH never wanted to. :( Now its 6 months later and its gunna get so cold out .PLUS I really wanted to go in the back at villa lombardi's as well. and my ideal shot would be a pose at villa at night. like what i posted, sitting down, [MAYBE COLOR] and just staing at the camera. . .

When you did day after, did u do it thru ur same photographer. How much did they charge, if u dont mind me asking? FM me if you don't want to announce it.
i STILL want to do it, but DH and my mom think its INSANE! :(

I didnt do it. Its not a priority for us. I simply admired the other brides who did it and thought it may be an option for you since you seem dissatisfied and indecisive.

ETA we upgraded our album because we can take that out when we want and thats forever - we are pretty conservative people who are not into huge pictures on the wall.

I can take out my album when I want. I dont plan on it being a coffee table book - mainly because we dont have a coffee table.
