Pictures you missed?

Lol what? she pretty much reiterated what you said. you're sending a small list (so not micro managing) and letting the photog do her thing. also, what's a 'ghetto buffet'?

Oh Ally, you must be new. Karen is of a mind that any buffet is ghetto and classless, and any bride who has a buffet at their wedding is tasteless and tacky.

But yeah, that's what I meant when I asked if she read the thread. Because obviously that's a NO.

Ally, you missed a lot. Karen had made herself WW famous by claiming buffet weddings are ghetto, that anyone who works nights and weekends has a shit job, and that anyone who rents housing is inevitably going to end up on welfare. She does not contribute to this community, except to be mean and stir the shit pot.

Oh damn, i really did miss a lot!

I want to make sure I get photos of both set of parents, individual and together. Also a picture of us with fh grandparents. A group picture of siblings. A family picture on each side and a large family picture. Those are my must or cry photos lol every thing else is looking at pinterest and liking ideas and letting or photographer know what we like per her request.

Oh ... here's some I always do at some point during the day even if it's not on the list ... parents of the Bride and Groom with their parent. So MOG with her parent(S), FOG with his parent(S), MOB with her parent(S) and FOB with his parent(S). They kind of look at me like, "WHA ... huh? ok ....... " But always end up laughing and hugging each other by the time the shot is taken. It takes less than 30 seconds and I just feel better that those are done.

Our venue has a covered patio outside the ballroom which is an upper story of the building. The bride will be tossing her bouquet "down" to everyone gathered below the "balcony". We will ask all guests to go down and then get a big group picture taken as they wait for the toss. We did this for younger son's wedding 16 years ago and it was one of their favorite shots.

We missed pictures with our kids, totally obvious but we totally forgot them. We don't have any of just the 4 of us. Also, pictures with your grandparents, mine passed way right after my wedding and I don't have any pictures with her. Pictures with your parents alone and with your spouse. Pictures with your siblings. We had a photo shot list and still missed photos. The craziness of the day causes you to forget. But they do say for every photo you don't get you'll get 3 more you never thought of. The only pictures I really missed were the ones with the grandparents and the ones with our kids.

I really had everything on my list but there were a few the photographer didn't get simply because we only had one shooter (being a small wedding they even advised us against 2) and we couldn't get multiple positions quickly for some moments (during the ceremony mainly). For example in order to be in the right spot to get the ceremony shots he couldn't be where he needed to be to get me and my dad coming down the aisle and I really wanted that shot (we had an unusual layout). So I wish I had that shot but oh well. Our photographer had a website where we clicked through and could pick what posed photos we wanted. We only picked about 1/4 and we still had more than we needed IMO.

I never thought to ask for individual photographs of me in my dress and realized when I got the photos back that I didn’t have any. Meanwhile hubby had a bunch from before the wedding taken by the assistant photographer. I loved my pics with my hubby and family and friends but given how beautiful I felt that day I wish I had some just for me.
