kind of disappointed

My MOH told me she is going to her personal hairdresser instead of going to the salon with the rest of us to get our hair done. I know it is not a big deal at all and it isn't that I am mad really, just kind of bummed. We have someone who is gonna be taking pictures of us getting our hair done and getting ready and it just kind of sucks she won't be in the pictures at the beginning of the day. Is it selfish that I wanted all of my girls to get their hair done together? I am not gonna tell her she has to go to the salon with us, because, like I said it isn't a huge deal, it just kind of sucks :(

    It's okay to be a little disappointed.  Maybe she could schedule her hair appointment so that she'd have time to hang out with the rest of you after she's done?  Even if she gets there near the end, she could still be in pictures.  And you're probably not going to want that many pictures of the hair styling portion of the day anyway.  It's not when people look their best.  :)

    Who really wants pictures of anyone getting their hair done? We didn't take any 'getting ready' type pictures at all, even though we all had our hair done at the salon my mom works at, and I don't miss them one bit.

    I agree with Allie. I didn't want a camera anywhere near me while I was getting ready. I honestly don't blame your bridesmaid for wanting to have someone who already regularly does her hair do it that day as well. She wants to be confident in her look, I'm sure.

    This.  I think "getting ready" pictures are overrated and a way for a photographer to charge you more time for their services.

    Think about it.  How often are you really going to look at your "getting ready" pictures?  I doubt any of those pictures will make it to the point of printing out and being framed and hung on your wall.

    OP, you can be disappointed but be disappointed for about 5 more minutes and then let it go.  This is not a big deal.  I was in such a fog my entire wedding day that I barely remember getting ready let alone who was and was not around me.

    Yep.  Same here.

    OP - I have hair that is very difficult to work with so you can bet I would either be going to the woman who knows it best or would just do it myself.

    We had the photographer come to the salon just because, with our package, we got the photographer the entire day of the wedding, so I figured why not? But let me be honest: the only place I used any getting ready shots were a few made it into the Shutterfly album I made. Otherwise, I didn't use them at all, didn't get any prints of them, etc.

    It's fine to be disappointed but don't bring it up to her (which I don't think you planned on anyway). If a wedding was local, I would totally go to the guy who normally does my hair because he's reasonably priced, does a good job, and I trust him. You can't really blame her for wanting to use her normal hair stylist.

    First, the wedding photographer is not the one doing the pictures of us getting ready. A friend, who is an amateur photographer is doing them for free. Second, you guys may not like it but it is something we do in our circle. And no there is no particular hairstyle and no I am not paying for it, which is one of the reasons I am not saying anything about it. I said it isn't a big deal and its not. I am a little bummed she won't be in those pictures but I will get over it because she will be in the important ones.
