    I am working to select some pictures for our first christmas card. 

    These pictures aren't fully edited by the photographer (I still havn't selected the ones I want her to edit for our album). 

    I don't want any kissing pictures and I want the picture to show our nice smiling faces.  So here are my top choices. The card I am leaning towards has a landscape picture slot so that is tough.

    Hopefully we could get this one edited a bit because as you can tell we are sweating!  Also, my husband is kinda leaning.

    I really like this one, we are both looking at the camera, good smiles and the lighting is good.

    This is a cool picture but you can't really see our faces that great.

    I like this one a lot too!

    Not a bad one, but a wierd angle on our faces.

     

    Sooo... any thoughts?  Also, when I go back to the photographer and ask her to edit these, what should I ask for?

    The one with you in the chair, definitely! Although the first one if epic - there's a giant parrot in it! :P

    I like the sunset one. I think it's a beautiful shot.

    True you're faces aren't showing but it's not like people you're sending Christmas cards to don't know what you look like. I'm assuming the photo is to show "Hey we got married!" rather than "This is what we look like!" So why not do it with a stunning photo?

    I would vote a hundred times over on the chair! You're both totally relaxed and and feelin' the moment. I like the sunset one, also. However it looks really posed to me

    The sunset shot is gorgeous! If you need to go with a different one, my second vote goes to the rocking chair one :)

    I love the river shot, soo pretty! I also think if you don't want to go with that one the rocking chair is great!

    I'm with everyone else, I like the sunset picture and the rocking chair picture best! 

    Personally, I LOVE the sunset picture, but I voted the rocking chair picture because i know you want it to show your faces....

    I think you NEED to get the sunset picture printed to display in your home, though!

    Oooh first I must say I absolutely adore your dress!!!  And I chose # 3, that sunset is gorgeous and I like how it looks less posed.

    The Sunset is my fav, but if you want faces to the camera, definitely you in the chair- so cute!

    I think you should use the one with the sunset. I would be very impressed if I received that with a christmas card.

    It's a toss up between the rocking chair and the sunset photo. I absolutely love the sunset picture. It is sooooo nice. The light is just right. BUT! The rocking chair picture would make a great Christmas card photo :)

    The sunset one is the most interesting all-around photo, I think. If you want one where your faces are showing, I vote the first one (with the bird).
