No outdoor shots!

shilotony2012 · July 2013

I am so bummed out. The weather was sooooo HOT on friday, we didnt do any outdoor shots. I wish we had. I really wanted some nice summer shots. It was 95, with a heat index over 100 and humid. Just walking out of the chapel for the bubble send off was excrutiating!!! We would have melted in the heat if we had done pics outside. But it doesnt change the fact that I have been sad about it since Saturday. I even cried on my drive home Monday, and then again Monday night in DHs arms.

My BIL does photography so we were thinking of getting all dolled up again and doing pics with just us later next month, but we wont have the WP with us at all. That is kind of important seeing as the colors were rainbow themed and the pics would have been amazing.

How do I get over this? I know I have to, and im sure if we would have gotten the pics I would have harped on something else. But if not for this, and the craptastic DJ, it was an amazing day. And yes, I know the most important thing is I married my best friend, but the pics are supposed to remind me of that day, ya know.

Thats a bummer. Weather is always hard to account for. How to get over it? You get over the photos you don't have or how you think they could have looked and love the ones you have. I definitely thought in my head this is how this would look etc, but things look a little differently in photos. You can definitely do a rock the dress session. Who knows maybe your girls would like to hang out and have an opportunity to wear their dresses again. Not sure if you would need to do tux rentals again. You can always do anniversary photos?

Basically a photography session where you wear your dress again and have photos taken.

I'm doing a rock the dress shoot in Hawaii on our HM. I like playing dress up. I also apparently like to waste money.

I just don't get the point. So you have photos of you and your groom NOT from your wedding day? It's just playing dress-up.

It's not hurting anyone, and it will make OP happy, so why not play a little dress up?

Thanks ladies. I LOVE wearing my gown so I dont see the problem. And my BIL will be doing the pics so that will only cost us lunch. We arent sure yet if DH will wear a tux or a suit he aready owns, so again, maybe $150 bucks. It was really sad, and I am happy that we have the chance to add some more pro pics to us in our attire. And damn, I paid all that $ for the dress and alterations,I would think it was cost effective to wear it again for more pics, lol. DH is excited as well!

But she alreday "rocked the dress." What is the purpose of this other than to waste money? Life happens and things aren't always perfect. Get on with your marriage!

I am getting on with our marriage. Some couples get in their gear EVERY YEAR on their anny to get pics, this is just a tad sooner, lol. And I loved my dress so much, why not rock it again? I hate the idea if it just languishing in my closet for decades. This way I get a little more wear out of it

. And in a more relaxed session where we arent rushed and can do all the pics we want.

A friend of mine did a "trash the dress" photo session the day after her wedding (similar to rock the dress). Her and her husband wanted some fun photos. Their ceremony & reception was at a location VFW hall. It was beautiful but there wasn't any really nice place for photos there. Leaving the venue and all their guests to go take photos wasn't an option. They wanted to be traditional and not see each other before the ceremony so pre-ceremony shots weren't an option. So they decided to get dressed up the very next day (they weren't scheduled to go on honeymoon right away) and went to some places they loved and had some awesome photos done and since there was no stress of having to be somewhere at a certain time, they were very relaxed and enjoyed their photo session.
