No wedding day pictures!!

Jnai, on April 16, 2018 at 4:59 PM Posted in Married Life 0 23
Hi everyone! So we got married on 3.10 and it was absolutely amazing. The day went perfect and I was so excited to see our photographs when they came in only to find out they were very limited. The photographer got absolutely no pictures of me alone in and my dress and NO pictures of my and my husband besides a few candid dancing pics. I'm debating getting hair and makeup done and him and I going to take pictures together. Is that weird??

    No that's not weird. I know you wish that the doggone photographer would've gotten those pictures on your actual wedding day. I know it won't be the same but I say go for it.

    I would do this too if this happened to me. Have you confronted your photographer about this? They should do these photos for you for free to make up for the horrible service they provided.

    I told them about my dissatisfaction and he just apologized and talked about the good photos they did get. I want to say something but I'm kind of nervous 😟

    Definitely do it! I posted this on a similar thread a few weeks back, but I have a friend who had no usable photos of her and her husband. They got dressed up for their 1 year anniversary and took a bunch of pics of just the two of them and were so happy with the results. You deserve to have beautiful pictures in your wedding dress with your husband, even if it wasn't on the day of.

    Are these all the photos you are going to get? Maybe this is just a sneak peek? What did your contract say? Was this a professional photographer?

    I am as non-confrontational a person as it gets, but I'd be livid. I think you should write a letter, based on facts, not emotions. Let them know that they need to find a way to make this right, whether that is taking additional photos now, or refunding your money. Let them know that you intend to write a review, and how they correct this situation now will be reflected.

    I understand that you're nervous, but you are right to say something. What wedding photographer doesn't get any pictures of the bride in her dress alone or especially any pictures of the bride and groom - not just candid shots? Did your contract require candid shots? Was this his style in general? Even so, they should still have gotten some great photos of just the two of you and if they didn't do that then that is lousy work. Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. It is just business, not personal.

    That is weird. What DID you get pics of? Flowers and plates on tables?

    i am asking for no photos of the decor/junk. (We are hardly having any anyways) and focus on us only.
    I also got a no pic of bride groom sign and I’m putting “no pics” on the hand fans too.

    It's "not acceptable" there are few or no photos of you and your husband. It will be good for your photographer to hear it and for you to say it. I'm livid (and sad) for you. Yes, he should have to take a photo shoot of the two of you for free. Honestly, I'd want to him pay for your hair & make-up but if he protests, fine, just the photo shoot.

    If your wedding site is close, check to see when it's avail for you to go there. The good news is you & your husband are still probably basking in the glow of your amazing celebration of love. Take those feelings with you to the photo shoot. And you may want to bring some photo ideas with you because this photographer might not be very creative/hard working.

    If he's a vendor here, after your next photo shoot, please write a review!

    Oh! Contact the company you hired, not the photographer. They may send you a different photographer for your "make good" shoot which would likely be better!

    I would definitely write a yelp review or something to warn other brides too of your situation.

    Actually, this is very normal and it is planned in many cultures that a couple gets wedding pictures after getting back from the honeymoon. You deserve the photos that you want.

    PS. I hope that you left the photographer a review. I would hate to get that one.

    Personally , I think it’s silly to try to “recreate” the day and have false pictures. You’d know they weren’t real. That said, I’d be pretty upset over that.

    It’s not silly at all. I say go for it. Put your dress back on and get your makeup done like the day of and make your hubby get his tux and get those portraits. I’m sorry your photographer didn’t capture it that day!

    Wow - that seems so unusual. If you don't mind me asking, did you pose individually and together for photos either before or after the ceremony? Is what you are missing those or do you have those and it is the action shots taken throughout the day/evening? Regardless, I would have more taken if you aren't satisfied with what you have.
