Should i be upset that my Bil’s wife didn’t smile for photos?

Here’s the story:


My husband and I did a “mini-mony” with the intention of having a big wedding (we’re calling it the “megamony” or “The Meg” for short). It was a sweet intimate affair, but it was cold and windy (but not raining like we thought 🙌🏻) and our food was so-so. We hired his friend to do our photos which are also so-so. TLDR; it was a stressful day that I really just wanted to get over with.
Anyways, when my husband and I got the photos back, I noticed that my BIL’s wife isn’t smiling in the photos with her, my BIL, my husband, and myself, but is smiling in all the photos without me or the whole family in them.
She and my BIL got married last February so she could get her green card. They want to have a big ceremony both in the states and in India (where she’s from), but she can’t leave the country yet. She’s also a vegetarian (we tried to accommodate her and asked what she would be okay with ahead of time).
Tbh, I’m a little upset but I also know that I’m a sensitive, neurodiverse person who can misinterpret certain actions. I also know that I shouldn’t let one person affect how I view my day.
What do y’all think? Should I let it go?

    Since there’s really nothing you can do to change her face in the photos, I’d advise to focus on the photos that she’s not in and take stock of those that were actually happy for you on that day. If you received these digitally on the computer, perhaps place them away from view in a different folder. Since you’re having your reception later, remind yourself of that coming up and that it means there will be more opportunities to create happier photos at that event with even more people that love and support you and your spouse. ❤️

    I agree with Erin to focus on your good pics. Also, my petty self would send a thank you for coming card with printouts of her unsmiling pictures only, so she can see herself. I'm sure your BIL will ask about her scowl. My super petty self would frame an 8 x 10 and display it when they come over. Lucky for you, your family has a do-over with each other's larger receptions. Congratulations on your marriage.
