So I hate all my engagement photos...

Yeah... hate them. Can't really blame it on the photographer. FH looks pretty awesome in them. I've never been a photogenic person and this was a sad reality check. I have 4 months to learn how to take a photo Ffs ETA: Thank you everyone. Though I didn't post the ones that really made me cringe,...

I have 4 months to learn how to take a photo Ffs Smiley sad ETA: Thank you everyone. Though I didn't post the ones that really made me cringe, except for the first, maybe you're all right. I'm being overly critical. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that hated theirs at first and that they may grow on me. I never thought of it as an opportunity to discuss what I like and dislike with the photographer. And yes, same photographer for the wedding Smiley smile

    FH has problems with bright light due to an eye injury and has a hard time keeping his eyes open outside without sunglasses

    That's why I haven't taken any - at all. So scared for our wedding pics.

    eta: Those look good. And the one you pointed out your lazy eye, still don't know which one it is.

    Honestly, these are so cute! Didn't even notice a lazy eye or the nose. I feel like we are our own biggest critic. Love these!

    I think the photos look great! Your smile is beautiful and I can feel the happiness and almost hear the laughter (which is a good thing). Like a PP said, we are our own worst critics!

    Ok lol I'll take all your word for it hahaha

    Looked at them again with FH and a few of them are growing on me... There's many more I didn't put on here that were just downright awful. Guess as long as the photographer takes a zillion pictures of the wedding I'll end up with enough that we like lol

    You look really great! If you were looking from our point of view you would see the pictures are amazing and you both look happy!

    Our photographers took some awesome pics and my favorite one is a side view of us and my butt looks HUGE in it, I have it hanging in my living room because I know I'm the only one that notices how big it looks.. we are our worst critics.

    My two favorites are the one where you are laughing and he is smiling and the one right above it that you say is "okay-ish." I think they both show a lot of personality and happiness. Your wedding photos are going to be beautiful!

    I also hate getting my picture taken which is why I never even brought up getting engagement photos and FH is clueless about a lot of stuff, so he doesn't even know they're a thing! I'm dreading wedding photos.
