well, that gave her 500 things to b!tch about.


OP, it's done and you have many lovely photos of your day.  Appreciate that, many brides can't even afforde a photographer.  You will survive this, I promise

Honestly, you need to GTFO it.  Your H was clearly participating in these pictures.  And I agree with Rachers, why did you get 500 pictures of GM?

We got a lot of group photos. We spent quite a bit of time taking pictures before the ceremony. Looking back I would've spent more time with just H but that's neither here nor there.

I still think it's really bizarre that you "forgot" that you blocked the exact pictures that you shared your link so that we could see. But at least you proved their existence, although I thought they would be much worse.

Honestly? That's why I don't WANT every single picture taken by our photographer on our wedding day. One of my friends had 3,000 wedding pictures to go through. I'd rather receive 300 excellent pictures than 3,000 shots that are only slightly different from one another and that highlight unflattering events. You said you chose this photographer because he gave you every single picture. If any of our GMs are goofing around like that before the wedding (and it is possible, God love 'em), I certainly don't want a record of it.

Fine, you have some ...differently humored photos along with all your other good ones.  Most photographers will tell you, they take thousands of pictures in the hopes of extracting a few hundred good ones, and just a handful of really special, magic ones.   You have plenty of good photos, hardly the "every photo is ruined" story from the first thread.

Am I missing something? Where is the link to these photos? I'm so curious to see what all the fuss is about! 

button6004

I dont understand.  You have a few goober photos in a massive collection of beautiful shots.  Move on.  Your H looks like he was totally cool going along with it and should have said something if he wasnt.  This isnt your photographer's fault.

Just move on.  You are wasting far too much energy being upset about this.

Yeah, I definitely exaggerated. They're not all ruined but that doesn't mean I really like them either though. I was upset that so many were so casual and mismatching. When I say mismatching there were quite a few where some guys are wearing coats while others aren't or some wearing sunglasses and others not. I don't think there are any photos actually where the guys all match. But I'm not even going to look at this point because I'm going to get over it and move on. Thanks to everyone who gave constructive advice and put this into perspective for me.

I removed the link.

ggirl2001

This is ridiculous. You know what happens to all your wedding photos? You put some up, put the rest in the book and almost never look at them. You know how many pictures of my bridal party I have up? One, and one of H with his groomsmen (because they were his brothers). It's not like you're going to have to put more than 1-2 pictures up of H and his GM. I know you have some usable ones for that. 

LeiselEB

Aw, shucks I wanted to see. 

For what it's worth, ILTR, I think you need to sleep on, step away from the pictures, and stop worrying about it. Just don't think about the pictures for a few days, and when you come back and see them again, you'll realize you've got some great pictures, and a few that you won't be framing, ya know? 

LetsHikeToday

I think it's really weird that, the other day, you were all ready to go yell at your photographer and/or ask for some type of refund because every picture sucked. When in reality, you were unhappy with 500 out of 2500. Really??

chelseamb11

ILTR I feel like you're just lookng for things to whine about.  Your photos were quite lovely actually from what I saw.  Out of 2500 photos, you'er going to have some bad ones.  If you still come out f the day with a handful of good photos, then you're set.  You got much more than that.

Also, it's pretty obvious your H was clearly participating in the behaviors that you're so mad about.  He's just as much to blame as the GMs.

ZombieNates

ILTR, you should avoid telling stories, because they suck. I was really expecting to see circle jerks or BJs or something really dramatic.

andrea2473

Dammit.  You finally post the bad pictures and I missed the link.  Well crap.

chelseamb11

It was basically an album of the group shots (like 300 pics worth maybe?) and there were maybe like 5 questionable ones (one GM on his knees leaning in on another's crotch, things like that)

OP, I think you might need to get the stick out of your ass.

crash2729

ILTR, I think you are ridiculous. 

You even said in the OP that "the photog should have put down his camera until the GMs calmed down".  

He's not a babysitter and then you'd probably be upset that he was just standing around.

hoffse

Honestly, I think it's amazing you got that many photos from the day.  If your H wasn't willing/able to stop that behavior, then there are bound to be a number of bad pics.  But even 2000 pics?  That's more than most brides get, even when they have their photog give them every single shot.

mizutamababy

Dude, we didn't even have 2,000 photos period.  We got about 1,000 in total and not all of those were good.  There were a lot of awkward, unflattering shots to weed through.  I think only about 1/4 of those images made it to the final album we put together.

I doubt you will be putting 2,000 pictures in an album.  If you are, damn... sucks for whoever you expect to page through that.  And if that album is printed, yikes I don't even want to know how much it's going to cost.

The photographer had no idea if you would like or not like those certain pictures.  Personally I wouldn't have cared and neither would many brides.  And is this really the foot you want to start your marriage on?

Just tell your H, "I was really disappointed at how much you and the groomsmen drank before the reception.  However, I realize I overracted and I'm sorry." Then be done with it.  You had a lovely wedding it looks like.
