*Not going to be Very Sad anymore!*


Thanks for everyone who came to offer me words of encouragement! Thanks!!!

I have to just move forward and not look back and relaize that I am blessed in more ways than any picture could show...! Thanks for listening and I am going to reach out to the photog once I see the actual proofs...I will give her that much. Will let you all know how it turns out!

Thanks so much again!! Smooches!

I;m so sorry you feel this way! Do you feel like the quality is poor or there just aren't that many pictures to have?

Call them and see if you can do a re-shoot. Wear your dress again, have FH rent a tux, get some flowers and if your family is game have them dress up again and do a re-shoot in a park somewhere. I read an article awhile ago about a couple of who did that and were so happy they did.

Re: Very Sad

The quality looks good online... just feel like there are so few pictures!!!!

I know they took a ton and thats not represented online as my proofs... there were no pics from cocktail hour...only a handful of pics of my BP... but then a crap load of the cake and cake cutting... not many of my decor- which I loved!!!! Ya know Im just annoyed.

In a perfect world everyone would get dressed up again.. but my family is not local... they are out of state like (GA) and out of the country.. in Europe... I guess I am also embarrassed to say anything... Cause I know the photogs feel they did a good job and honestly my day after session rocked...

Thanks girls for listening... I guess thats the bad thing when you compare your vendors and such to others.... Its almost as if I had this expectation that maybe was too high... I dont know

TH says I am being dramatic and that the pics are great... what does he know

Saw the online gallery yesterday and the actual printed proofs should arrive in a few days...

Barbie- your pics are a perfect example of what Im talking about... Your beautiful and we all know that... but take that out of your equation and you still fundamentally have amazing pics...

The more i talk about the more I cry at my desk...

Ugh... getting sick to my stomach...

Re: Very Sad

Im so sorry...to be honest, I didn't get as many proofs as I thought..but I tried to remind myself that as long as the quality was there it was ok...But, I was at least happy with the pictures that were taken where it seems like you were not. Did you give tehm a list of what you wanted? ( I didnt do that but if you did and they weren't taken then that is a problem!)

I am debating if I will or will not... I guess I am just not comfortable... like I said a bit embarassed.. I know I need to get over it... just not that type of a confrontational person...

I didnt give them a list because I really felt like they understood what I wanted and from their work I had seen I was very confident in them...

You know I keep telling my self that I have to take some blame- because we were running late and where short on time.... and we tried to catch up a bit... but not sacrifice being at my own wedding - ya know...

We had the same photographer and I also expected some more proofs than I actually got. But I was also so excited about the ones that were taken that it wasn't that big of a deal for me.

But to OP, I'm so sorry that you didn't love the photos from your wedding and that there aren't enough of them. To be honest, I think at this point, if you haven't said anything to them by now, what could you possibly do? You've had a day after shoot that you LOVED, which is terrific, but it sounds like you've gone a good amount of time without saying anything to them. Unless you gave them an explicit list of photos you wanted and they those photos were not taken, I'm not sure what you'd be able to do. I'm really sorry and I hope that there are at least some that you really love!!!

Awwww thank you I loved working with Amanda! She rocked! But just so you know... (I have not seen my proofs yet) but I know we didnt get a few pics that I really wanted... I dont have any pics of the whole bridal party with the kids... and its only because they were all over the place and I guess the had a long day so they were getting a little cranky! I dont have a shot after the ceremony of me, Dh and the priest... which was important to me but he booked out as soon as it was over lol.
Lots of things go wrong.... as soon as I get my proofs back I'm writing a review. I had issues with almost every vendor on that day. And I know the sick to your stomach feeling when you think about it... The most important thing is that you and your DH are married.
Did you use the same company for your day after pics?

Thanks!!! I think I need to just relax and maybe just stop looking at the pics. Since I wasnt explicit with what I wanted... I guess thats why i feel like there is not much to say.... I have asked about some of the shots I thought she got and if there are more proofs that they thought were not good... so to be continued..

Thanks for the love!

Your welcome love... I know what you mean... Like I say alot hindsight is a B!TcH... If I could go back I would change a few things and that may have gotten me more pics... I dont know... I just have to stop thinking about it and comparing them to others... It just the expectation lever was high and feel like the final product fell short.. just a bad thing with to happen to your wedding pics. I did use the same vendor for my day after pics and its they are different...i didnt get a lot of proofs - but the selection that we got i loved!!! i really did...

Your right - in the end we are married and we have our whole life to look forward too...

Thanks for listening and the support

Re: Very Sad

I would call them. You paid them a lot of money and if you are not happy they should know.

Sorry you are not happy about your pics

Re: Very Sad

did you see all your proofs or are you just goin on what is online? because im sure once you see all of them you will realize that there will be a ton you love! and besides they can do so much to the pics to make them how you like it.

Re: Very Sad

I think you should definetly call your photog. The photogs take ALOT more pictures than the ones that they give to you. So maybe she can through the rest that she didn't give you and give those to you too. Explain to her your disappointment and how you loved your day after shoot but that you are upset that you didn't get some of the more important pictures. Like I said she may have them but just didn't edit them to give to you. If you are uncomfortable talking to her on the phone, send her an e-mail. If your photog is who I think it is, she is very sweet and I'm sure will want to make you happy.

Im going by whats online... She said that the actual proofs were in the mail.. so I should be seeing them any day now.. but I am assuming that shes not sending me all the pics.. just the ones that are online...as those are fully edited.

I think I am going to have to email her...
