Freaking Out re: Photos from the wedding
Aside from a 1-picture teaser on her blog, we haven't seen any of the photos from our wedding. According to our contract, she has 4-6 weeks to send us the disc with all of our pictures on it, and this Friday is the end of week 5. Yesterday afternoon I sent her an email that basically said, "hey just checking in to see how it's going. We're excited to see the pictures!" and haven't heard a thing. I've been having nightmares that our pictures are awful, and the waiting is only making them worse. Am I freaking out for no reason?
Re: Freaking Out re: Photos from the wedding
She's still got a week - deep breaths, my dear. I totally understand wanting to see them RIGHTNOW but this is also wedding season so wedding industry pros are super busy right now. I'd be worrying more if it were like 5 weeks and 6 days and still nothing. ;-) See what she says - if she doesn't respond to your email by tomorrow morning (it would be nice to give her 24 hours to respond) try a phone call - "Hey, I just wanted to make sure you got my email since sometimes I'm not always sure a message went through or not...but we can't wait to see our photos and just wondering if you might have an ETA for us!"
I completely understand! Our photog just emailed me last Thursday and said it should be a day or two until our proofs are available... but it's been almost a week and they're not up! We've picked out the holder for our cd with all the proofs on it, so hopefully that's being mailed sometime soon, but I'm getting impatient!
I know she has a lot going on-- she did two weddings this past weekend, and one the weekend before, not to mention engagements, portraits, etc. But still! I keep checking all the time and I'm starting to feel stress the way I did before the wedding checking the weather! I hate it!

haha-- so you're not alone!!
I feel your pain! We were married 5/22 and while we have seen pics (that we LOVE) on our photogs blog, I can't click on them to save them or anything. Plus there are only a few, and there are a few shots that I am REALLY excited to see (fam photos, some of just the two us, bridal party, etc) so I am dying for him to finish with them. I emailed him today because we really want to include some photos in our thank you notes, and I really don't want my guests to wait much longer for those. It's been a month already! But I totally get why it's taking so long, so I tried to be really nice in my email...he told me to expect them the beginning of July, so here's hoping!

This!
