Redo wedding pictures ???

Sarahsteen, on August 13, 2021 at 11:42 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 10
So my husband and I got married almost 3 months ago and have been recently looking over our wedding pictures and he loves them, but I hate about 75% of them Smiley sad it’s been bugging me and making me feel upset and sad. So I thought that we should go retake our pictures somewhere pretty and kinda have a redo. What does everyone think? Is that weird to do??

    I think it's totally up to you! I don't think it would be weird at all to retake them. If you want the pictures and have the budget for them, I say go for it! Otherwise, what is it about the photos that you don't like? The editing style? The poses?

    I think that is a wonderful idea but i think i'd save it for something like a wedding anniversary! that way you can re-wear your dress again and it's something to do for that moment

    As always, do what you want its your life and you need to be happy with your own decisions. But since you asked for opinions, here is mine. They won't be your wedding photos. They will just be photos taken on a random day. To me, they would lose all sentimentality. Also, your husband loves the photos. Do it is taking away from his enjoyment of them. Lastly, most people I know rarely even look at their photos after the first couple of years. Life is busy and gets in the way. You replace photos of the two of you with family photos etc.... I truly think this would not be a good use of resources.

    Not weird to do at all. My husband and I are redoing our photos. We got married in June. We love our pictures but because we got rained in, we didn’t get much variety in terms of background for photos. They were all in one spot and we really wanted to use the venues garden for the scenic background and florals. I say do what you need to to feel happy.

    Is it just the ones of you and your husband you don't like? If so, I'd say go for it if you have the budget for it! But if you hate the ones that also include wedding party and family, and wanted to redo those I'd say you'd need to wait and do like a vow renewal, because you can't ask them to all get fancy again and travel to whatever new location for pictures.

    If it is within your budget then by all means go ahead. If anything you can always do a 1 year wedding anniversary photoshoot. You can re-wear your outfits or choose different ones Smiley smile

    What do you plan to do with all of the redo photos? Just wondering if it’s truly necessary, especially 3+ months later. I like that the pics you have are from your actual wedding and the special moments of that day. That’s certainly more meaningful than a random do-over. And I love that your FH is happy with the pics, as is. Since the wedding day has passed, how about moving forward (instead of reaching backwards) and take fun Newlywed pics (maybe you can wear shirts that say “Est. May 2021” on back or something cute from a newlywed angle). Then you can send them as holiday cards.

    As others have mentioned, you probably won’t even look at your wedding day photos all that often in the future. Also, I think the sentimental value will be lost on redone photos since you will always know they were not taken on your wedding day, but rather just a random day. That being said, if you are wanting a beautiful photo to blow up and hang in your home, and none of the photos you currently have can be used, then I understand the desire to have more taken. It really all just boils down to how you will feel about the photos not being of your actual wedding day and how much use you will get out of redone photos, whether it is worth the time and expense to have new ones taken. And keep in mind, there is no guarantee you will like the new photos either.

    Just get the 25% you do like printed and save your money lol. You can get pics taken for your one-year anniversary like others suggested. That would be really nice.

    No. Don't do that. I only think that if you had a photographer that totally destroyed your pictures then a retake would be the right thing to do. If you just what to relive that wedding moment again then that's understandable, then I would wait about 5 years into your wedding and discuss with your spouse about renewing your Vow's. And make plans for another wedding event together.
