I have to be honest, I'm regretting my photographer decision. We were in a rush to book all of vendors because we had a shorter engagement and at the time I was gung ho on staying within budget, which eventually went out the window (long story). We ended with the first photographer we met with because we loved her personality an she cost $1500 less than the other quotes.
Here's my issue- all of engagement photos are cheesy poses of FI behind me with his arms wrapped around me, him awkwardly dipping me (doesn't work), and us awkwardly kissing. At the time I was 25 lbs heavier than FI. She made no attempt to pose us in a way that flattered our body types . Granted I've lost 15 lbs since the photos were taken, so our size difference will not be as pronounced, but I feel like a good photographer would take note of our body types and try to flatter both of us.
For those in wedding photography, do you have any advice on what sort of directions to give her when we chat with her next week? It feels awkward telling her what to do, but I just was not happy with our E-pics. I'm deathly afraid I will end up hating my wedding pictures. My dress is a lace sheath, so I think having me tilt in and hold my bouquet in front of my pooch with help with formal pics? Any other guidance you can offer?
