Which wedding photo pose is your pet peeve?

aww, Lisa. I don't think anyone meant it that way. Everyone has different tastes is all.

I think that we all appreciate the beauty in everyone else's photos, especially yours. But, for ourselves, to have certain poses that just don't seem 'right'.

To me, having been so afraid of staining my gown, if I were to see a picture of ME with bouquets around my dress, it would make me cringe. But, I've seen yours and I think it is really beautiful! But, you pulled it off well, you look beautiful.

See, this is what I would look like if someone tried to put a bouquet on my train...

I just couldn't pull it off!

Thanks. See this is what I mean when I say that you should take the pic anyway.

I am not a fan of the ones that have the 'misty blurry romance' all around the border.

and I am not saying it to offend anyone in particular - I am just not a fan.

I am not posting this to cause any trouble but IMO, this thread is offending a lot of us who have all the pictures that you mentioned that you did not like. My pictures are gorgeous and listening to you girls say how you do not like every picture that I have is getting me very upset.

That is the funniest picture - I know I would have made the same exact face!! It's so real!

any pic where the bride has the dress spread all around her and shes standing near a tree
with her carnation boquet

all you need is puffy sleeve dress and bangs and you have ultimate velveeta!

I'm not too keen on the one where the mother of the groom looks proudly at her son knowing in your heart of hearts shes saying to herself 'I am gonna make his wife's life miserable when I move in with them'

Dont worry honey, I saw some of your pics and they are beautiful. I have mixed feelings on posed shots and photojournalistic..some of the so called photojourn shots can capture people at weird moments..and some call it 'natural moments' when in actuality not all are flattering.. so I think everyone is going to have a different idea of what shots are good or not.

I dont like the posed all that much to begin with but I do think you need SOME.
Anyway I really really dont like the charles angels poses or the one where the bride is laying across the groomsmens arms. And I personally will not be doing any kind of pic with my bms boks on my train.

I know that everyone has this picture taken...but, I don't like the pose with the bridesmaid's bouquets all around the bride's dress/train. My BM's had red/white roses and I was so afraid of getting stains on my gown from the rose petals (which happened anyway when people threw the petals at us in front of the church) But, I didn't have that shot taken cause I thought it was too old school.

I AGREE....they drive me kinda crazy

I believe that certain poses and pictures are not for some people. It is our wedding day and we should all do what makes us happy. On my wedding day, I will not be having any shots of me, half naked, as my MOH or mom slips me into my dress. No pictures of me standing in my bra or slip 'getting ready'. They are just not the sort of shots I would want to put in a coffee table book or share with people. My photographer will be invited into my room after I put my clothes on.

Ditto... I didn't do these either- they would have made me VERY uncomfortable. Actually I was joking with the photo studio's guy who called to confirm my times and info about wondering if they would end up on the internet

I hate the ones where the bride is looking in the mirror either pretending to put on lipstick or brushing her hair. Drives me insane!!

.

I love this one.

Even though we had it, I really hate the pic of the B + G with the veil over both their faces.

---

I can't stand that one too.....and the one of the bride all serious, looking over her shoulder with bouquet in hand....too posed

I really dislike a photo that's often taken of the groom. The groom is standing, with one leg raised (usually on some sort of rock, chair, stump...), knee bent, and looking like my HS prom date.

---

i hate that one also....that is the only shot i have of my husband by himself

I would have to say again that people have different tastes and that's okay. I don't think this thread was made to offend anyone it was done just like every other thread to voice our opinions on a particular point. It's all in good fun.

Like SonicStef, I don't really like any posed shots - especially the traditional ones...the limo shot, the dress splayed with the flowers on them, the Charlie's Angel's shot, the GM holding the bride, etc.

But to each their own.

me too.

When we were looking at photographers, one of them had a shot that I hated in every album. It was the bride sitting on somethiing (ledge, bench, whatever) with her dress pulled all the way up past her thighs, one leg bent at the knee. It reminded me of a 'centerfold' only with the woman fully clothed.

I know a lot of people here use that photographer, so I don't want to offend anyone, but knowing that they took and apparently loved to take that shot was one of reasons that we didn't go with them.
