photography

View Quoted Comment Some, as do i.
I look back at pictures ALL the time! I love looking back at the pictures from night he proposed, i get to feel all the feelings again. It is so fun to look at pictures from when i was a kid and laugh at my dads cut off jean shorts and knee high socks. One night after dinner my FMIL got out all the pictures and showed me photos of my FH, so i can see his childhood, I got to see their wedding pictures. It wa so great to see those and really feel pulled into their family.
So, I can only imagine how joyful looking back at our wedding pictures will be.
I put all my pictures on digital media and it’s safe in my fireproof safe. It’s unfortunate that you lost yours but my pictures are so important to me that I made sure I had a safe place for them. I do Shutterfly books and scrapbooks of memories as well. As others have posted when all is said and done, the wedding and our lives pictures and memories(and sometimes those go too) are literally all that we have left.

View Quoted Comment I apologize for all offense given and wish you the best in your marriage

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

View Quoted Comment I’m glad you have so many things you treasure from your family

View Quoted Comment It is not our wedding if you don’t wan pictures don’t get them. Put thing is don’t put us down for what we find important and valuable. Would you want all of us to loom at what you spent money on and say how it was a waste. And so on?

View Quoted Comment This is such a bizarrely petulant response.

You do realize that no one actually cares what you do, right? People are taking issue with your flippant and disrespectful method of expressing your “opinion” not the fact that you don’t want photos of your wedding. Grow up.

Ok, let me summarize all 7 pages of this thread. You can’t afford a photographer. Rather than be ok with that and own it, you needed to announce it and then try to convince the rest of us we’re wrong about wanting keepsake quality pictures and insult us for how we allocate our wedding dollars.

Did I miss anything? I hope not so a MOD can Lock this discussion down.

View Quoted Comment Interesting and you are definitely entitled to your opinion as everyone should be

im glad you think so highly and metaphorically about photography and that you have things in your life that can bring out so much passion and eloquence in you

i appreciate that fact that you actually agree that everyone should do what’s right for their own self

View Quoted Comment I appreciate both of your opinions and openly admit I am “an arguer” but genuinely just have it as a personality trait

i am sorry for all offense given and will definitely refrain from restating my opinions after original post if there are any future threads

View Quoted Comment I'm confused about this. I thought you were really happy with your theme?
And if you dont want photos professionally done,then dont do them. It's as simple as that. None of us here are forcing you into anything. Hell, none of us are even going to be at your wedding!! Its about you and your FH. Do what you what.

View Quoted Comment The online community has nothing to do with anything

i want NO WEDDING

he does

i feel that I can understand the perspective that it’s inp and special and actually love my SO so will gladly plan and do one but it seems like everything that means anything to me is just apparently morally wrong

i hate pictures a photography so of course it has to be a big deal in association with the “wedding package”. So I’ll do that for SO too

I wanted Black and white as colors

no one wanted to wear it.

I wanted maybe 40 people MAX

mu SO is the baby of 12 so immediately families only is 80

its life and cannot be helped but it’s starting to bother me on this one because I really do try hard to do the right thing

I definitely apologize to anyone i offended

i also can agree I am stuck in my opinions and hate losing

this one just hurts on a personal level because I thought it could be the one thing that I could have and apparently not so that’s upsetting

SO is “right”
pictures are part of the package in a wedding...

he is completely happy with no photographer but says essentially same thing of memory and momentos and so on

and same with both families

essentially I’m weird and have unpopular opinions so am (and will always be) out voted

my little sister won’t even attend as bridesmaid if I don’t pick out matching shoes for everyone and I wanted to wear sneakers (#2 after pictures thing)

after color drama i wanted the maids in silver (colors grey and navy) and they all want blue

i had wanted to wear blue Instead of white

apparantly my sisters are not doing it other than blue so blue it is

i feel living try to keep peace in every situation and none of that really even bothers me

a photographer and shoes really bothers me to the point I want to call this off and tell SO we can go to
courth together or things can stay exactly as they are but screw the wedding

i jave what I wanted ordered already

i have an amazing tolkien collection and SO ... I don’t need anything else

but that is SOOOO selfish and I don’t want to do that to him

and probably will not

View Quoted Comment I apologize for all offense given and it certainly isn’t my intention to have to anyone down and apologize that it came across as an attack against you because it was not motivated from that agenda

View Quoted Comment I was wallowing in self Pity and should have stepped away from the forum while making an upsetting decision and not come back while still upset

i am genuinely sorry for offending everyone

View Quoted Comment Ok well it definitely wasn’t intend in that way at all

i definitely got upset and should not hang out online upset and didn’t mean to offend anyone and will gladly try to apologize to everyone I offended

i didn’t want a photographer for personal reasons and thought I could justify it but if I am an honest and truthful person (feelings aside) then I came here for an answer about the right thing to do and got upset it really wasn’t what I wanted

actually I see similar threads sometimes

but it is what it is so I guess the mods can close it if it’s a problem

View Quoted Comment In no way to I hold anyone here accountable for anything

everyone was honest and I don’t like the end result but the truth hurts lol

View Quoted Comment 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

View Quoted Comment

I am doing the same!

I need a photographer. This is one of the biggest moments in my life and I need a professional to capture everything that that day entails.

View Quoted Comment I’m glad that you both found a decision that’s a good match for you!!

will you be posting pics after?

View Quoted Comment Did you hire early in planning or did it take you a long time to find who you wanted to work with?
