Annoyed with wedding photos

Macie, on April 15, 2020 at 11:25 PM

Posted in Married Life 41

Ladies! I just need to vent. Just got my wedding photos and realized that my detachable bra strap was viable the entire night.... Ugh. I don't know if I'm being dramatic, but I just feel hurt that my mom and bridesmaids (one was my only sister) didn't let me know 😭. Ugh

    It's a removable strap. I never tried it on with the strap and for some reason put it on that day thinking it would give extra support! Didn't realize it was so high.

    I actually don't care that much about the photos and I'm sure it didn't look *that* bad to guests. My hair did cover it probably a majority of the time when my arms weren't up or I wasn't leaning over. I just wish someone, especially my mother and bridesmaids would have said something. My mom was right there! Looking right at at it. I also should have just checked myself. But whatever! The past is the past. It was a seriously amazing, completely stress free day, but..... Why my mom/bridesmaids not tell me my bra was showing....?😂🧐🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

    I mean that dress has a really low open back. They probably assumed you knew. Lol

    I would be upset too. But look at how amazing your wedding looks, just in pictures! Your day must have been incredible. photo shop and dont stress over something that can't be fixed. Think of this, your husband didn't say anything either, and. after all, he's the one that matters!!

    I get it. But, when you put it in perspective, it’s not too big of a deal and it didn’t ruin the enjoyable time you had on your wedding day. I mean, some couples have to postpone their complete weddings, make last-minute changes, etc. and people are dying in the world. So when you look at it that way, a bra strap showing is pretty low level on a scale of “wedding issues”. Additionally, I’m sure you have loads of photos of you smiling from the front, which are preferred anyway. 😉

    I would definitely be upset too....I would never let anyone walk out anywhere especially on their wedding day if they didnt look perfect. You have every right to feel upset.

    I can see why you're upset and I feel like it's a no brainer for someone to have said something. At the same time, there is no way that strap wouldn't be visible, so my guess would be that no one said anything because they figured you knew and had intended to wear the strap despite being visible, especially since your shoulder straps are too.

    I wouldn't try to get a free session out of the photographer, it's not his/her fault.

    Definitely would not try to do that! It was a removable strap that I'd never tried and only out on that day for extra support. Didn't realize how high it was.

    Hi there! I have been a wedding photographer for 15 years and need to reply to this post with only good intentions doing so. I have in the past, seen wardrobe details such as yours that I felt needed addressing. What I thought was smeared makeup, a miss placed/tilted wedding cap, bra straps showing, was in fact intentional. I was yelled at (yes...yelled at), given the side eye, or responded to very condescendingly when I brought my concerns up to the bride prior to photographing. It turns out the smeared makeup was considered "smokey". The tilted birdcage cap was "perfectly placed", and the bra straps was responded to with "how else am I going to hold up my boobs?" What I thought was an obvious oversite was intentional. Therefore, before I started taking any pictures, I told the bride "take a final look in the mirror and make sure everything is perfect." At that point, these wardrobe details are the bride's responsibility. Perhaps nothing was said because they were erroring on the side of caution as it is very obvious any torso undergarments will show. I would definitely inquire about editing the straps out of an image you absolutely love but I would also expect to pay for that edit. I post this with good intentions and only want to inform.

    Sorry about that. I'd look into getting it photoshopped out if I were you.

    Wow, I'd be annoyed, too! Actually, you can try to get rid of them in any photo editor like Photoworks or Photodiva, but I'd ask your mom and bridesmaids whether it was really that awful. You know, people tend to ignore imperfections like that when it comes to others and can be pretty much unattentive to such things. Don't worry!

    I understand how you feel. I’m sure all the guests were looking at you as a whole like wow Macie looks so beautiful I highly doubt they were like oh look at the strap. If anything they know you had one on! It’s ok. Smile at what matters you got a beautiful dress and the beautiful pictures.


    If it bothers you check to see if the photographer can edit it out. Never hurts to ask.
    Otherwise take the ones you don’t care for with the strap and go to photoshop and edit it out. Or ask someone close to edit it.

    I think you should be able to get them photo-shopped but if I am being honest, I would be upset. My photographer was very sarcastic (in a funny way) and would have told me for sure. At one point, my husbands zipper was down and she reaaally let him know lol. What gets me is that your mom was that close to you and didn't say anything. My mom came to all the fittings and even then, she made sure my spanx were hidden to prepare me

    I understand your frustration but it's your wedding dress you've tried on before you wore/brought a removable strap because you know you had a low-cut dress no? so how could you have forgotten. I don't think I would've said anything either especially since it looks like you went for a neutral color I would've though you needed support and that was how you planned it. Sorry nonetheless and it's 2020 Photographers can photoshop anything in/out. Don't be so hard on your mom and sisters you made the same error by wearing it. 5 years from now you will laugh at it. but it's fixable now so let it go and get it fixed.
