Horrible Wedding Photos

OldSchoolKindaLove, on August 5, 2019 at 10:58 AM Posted in Married Life 0 11

Would it be horrible to throw away our wedding photos? They aren't good and honestly make me more depressed than anything. The photographer was my uncle, and he decided to partake in alcohol before our ceremony without my knowledge. I have had the flash drive of our photos now for a few months. He told me to go through and pick out my favorite photos for him to edit, photoshop, etc. Problem is....I can't pick any that I like because I don't like any of them....advice?

    My advice is tell him to edit all of them. Maybe some will turn out nice. I'm sorry you feel they're bad. I got my photos back a week ago. At first, I was really critical of them but they've grown on me more. I hope the same happens for you.

    It's also not a bad idea to retake wedding photos later on !

    I'd have him edit some at least, then keep all of them on a flash drive so you have them. You don't have to print or post, but I'd keep them.

    It's been almost a year since my wedding. I'm to the point I wish I could forget the entire day even happened. Maybe it's best to just get rid of everything and try again later, maybe a vow renewal would turn out better.

    He should edit all of them. That’s what photographers do. They take your photos, edit them so they look their best, then send them to you. Not the other way around. Don’t throw them away. I think you’ll regret that down the road. Have him edit all the photos and take another look.

    I agree with the others, have him edit them for you.
    I'm really sorry that you ended up with sub-par photos, and I'm REALLY sorry that your uncle didn't take his job seriously. That sucks. Just brainstorming, what if you and your partner took anniversary photos to celebrate your first anniversary? You could get all dressed up again and make a date out of it, just the two of you. It could be really cute!

    I intend on selling my wedding dress very soon as I don't want it anymore. Hoping it's gone by the time our anniversary rolls around.

    Find a photographer you like, choose a place that either looks amazing or has meaning to you and your husband, and take some photos of the two of you in your wedding outfits. Something special and intimate. I am doing a post wedding shoot with our photographer just so we can spend more time with our guests. But hopefully new images that are AMAZING of the two of you will help make up for the photos that bum you out.

    While that sounds great, we don't really have any places that are special to us, and honestly I don't think I will be happy with anything else as a background unless it's the beach. I think it's best to just scrap everything and plan a vow renewal. I never thought I would want to not remember my wedding day, but I can honestly say if I lost all memory of it, I wouldn't complain.

    I notice you mention you'd like to forget your wedding day altogether? Were there other issues? Did you not enjoy your wedding?

    I didn’t enjoy my wedding. Pretty much everything was wrong. I still have this deep down longing for My Wedding Day, and I didn’t think I would. I thought I would be happy and not feel like something was missing. Maybe I was wrong.
