AW (kinda): Wedding Pro Pic Gallery
Our photographer just sent us the link to our online gallery and I'm not loving it

There are a few that I LOVE but most of the pics on my must take list aren't there, half the detail shots are missing and I am not sure that I even like most of the ones that are there. I am making weird faces and the positioning isn't right. someone tell me I am just crazy and they are good pictures - otherwise I am SERIOUSLY considering a post-wedding shoot with another photographer which still won't help for hte bridal party shots that I didn't get (a few live out of state/country and I am not making them rent tuxes again) but at lest the shots of us will be right...
HH thinks I am crazy and likes the photos, am I just crazy or are they not spectacular like I feel they should be?

Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
O-M-G Sam, you look so beautiful, and I think the lighting is absolutely perfect! You are ca-razy girl, you had such a beautiful wedding (I'm still so jealous you had all that pink) and you have beautiful pics to cherish forever!
Our photographer didn't get a traditional full-length pic of us, and I was sooo crushed. We were thinking about a post-wedding session, but it just wouldn't be the same (plus it would be very pricey).

I didn't look yet (but I will)
I can tell you this--my photog got sick at my wedding! Her asst shot most of our pics and I wasn't in love with them either--at first--then I went back and fell in love with the good and bad.
We did do another shoot with just the 5 of us (I have 3 kids) and I love those pics to pieces. I have a lot of them on fb if you want to stalk me
seriously, I really like my photog, she is not crazy artsy, but imho she is very talented and she is totally affordable.
These are insanely cool! Trust me...my wedding photos SUCKED. I would be sooo happy if these were mine!
I think that you are probably just being your own worst critic. I had about 1500 pictures to go through and it was overwhelming and I started to feel how you are. But once I started pulling just my favorites and putting them in a separate file I really started loving them. I ended up with a few hundered that I LOVED instead of 1500 that included bad ones too. If your photog is like mine, they probably just gave you all of the pictures, and if they do that you have to know that some just are not going to be good. No one is that photogenic :-)
As for the details, I think that there are a lot in there. What is missing? My photog forgot to take a pic of my invitation, so I gave her a copy and she did it later, you would never know that it was not the same day. Can you do that with some of the details you feel are missing?

itWHOA, no clue what just happened, sorry! It would not let me delete them either! I was not even finished with my post! Stupid Nest!
What I was trying to say was that for what it is worth I think you look beautiful, your husband looks very handsome and the wedding looks great. I think if you just step back and only focus on your favorites you will find that there are a ton of pictures you love!
thanks girls!! I'll have to sit down and take a look through them again with an open mind. I think I am just most dissapointed that the shots I sent her photos of that I wanted were never even taken and there aren't any pictures of me with each BM. I can't remember now but I don't think there were any pictures of the cigar roller and they didn't get photos of all the centerpieces-neither of which can be recreated unfortunately and there isn't a collective picture of my old, new, borrowed, blue stuff but that's not really a big deal I guess.. But you are right, there are a lot of detail shots, so I should step out of post-bridezilla a bit before HH strangles me.
But like you girls said - own worst critique and I think I just need to take time to look through them and find ones I do like rather than ones I don't. Thanks ladies. That helps a lot.

I'm extra picky because DH and I are photographers... It seems like she had some trouble with all the lighting in the outdoor photos. Most of the indoor ones look great IMO. There are definitely a LOT of random ones... and It looks like she just posted all of them.
DH and I usually take several thousand photos for a wedding, but only pick one or two good ones from each type of photo to upload. She just uploaded them all.
Like I said, I'm extra picky because I'm a photographer. Our wedding pics were awful, yours aren't bad
