(((hugs)))
Do you know if any of your family or friends got pics of that kind of stuff? What a bummer that your photog missed them!
Were those shots on your must-shoot list and your photog still missed them? You might talk to him/her about it, because IMO you'd be entitled to a refund if they missed things you specified!!
aaww I'm so sorry to hear that, that's really disappointing. *hugs* I think, after a while you'll be okay that those pix weren't taken because they won't matter anymore. You'll be glad that you have pix of you and your hubby and family and friends! Sulk for a bit, why not? You put all of that hard work into it, but you'll be ok!
Definitely sending some hive hugs your way! Maybe flip back through the ones you love to cheer yourself up? Also, did your photographer shoot film or digital? If digital you just have to ask for the original (color) photos and you can saturate them to your heart's delight to get those pops of color.
But most of all, try not to worry about it too much. This is definitely something that time will heal and it won't feel like very much of a big deal a few months down the road. In the meantime, maybe send out an email to some guests and ask about any photos they may have taken?
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks ladies for the hugs and words of support. I am going to veg out on hulu and etsy (my two pick me ups) and maybe if I come back to the pics in a couple of days I will see things differently.
Now that I have had the weekend to reflect, I actually really love my wedding photos. (Sometimes you need to take a step back) I am still a little disappointed with the fact that there were not as many detail shots as I would have liked but I realize that there were some AMAZING shots from my photographer. I was so focused on that one little thing that I let it ruin everything else. In really looking at the pics, my photog did a great job at capturing the day in an artistic manner that really showed how happy my husband and I were.
And in talking with another recent bride friend of mine she said she was a little disappointed at first by her pics and then she grew to really love them.
Is that common? Have other brides had that happen where they were a little disappointed at first but then turned out to LOVE them?
Dont get too down! youre still happily married! Reach out to guests to see if they got some pics...those might be even better than professional ones...i am sure youre relative or friend would be more likely to notice all the effort you put into the details! keep your head up!
*huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge hugs!* Can you send out an email to your guests asking them to load their pictures onto a website somewhere? I'm always amazed at the shots other guests manage to get; maybe one of them took some of your centerpieces?
I've heard that it's quite common - especially since we're always looking at featured weddings on blogs and in magazines. It sounds like you got several nice ones and that taking a step back was good for your outlook on the pictures overall. Hopefully, they'll continue to grow on you :)
i'm glad you're feeling better about your photos! you could try emailing your photographer...perhaps they have some of the detail shots, but they didn't make the cut for the final edited photos? also, ask if you can get a few of the b&w photos in color, too. it can never hurt to ask :-)
Glad you feel better. I was a little disappointed about the lack of my "details", but all in all, what matters were the pictures of the people and activity and all the love around us.

I am a little disappointed by wedding photos which I finally got today. Which is why I am sulking in bed right now in a funk. My photographer did a great job on some of the shots but I felt that there could have been more detail shots and some shots could have had a punch of color. But I think what disappointed me most was the lack of detail shots. We spent a lot of money on our centerpieces and there is not one shot of them. Our room really wowed us the day of the wedding with all the flowers and candlelight and how the venue set it up but there are no color shots of the wedding at all. I feel like I put 18 months into planning all these small details (like the photos of of past generations of married couples in our family, our cupcake bags, our tea tin favors, etc) and there is no record of them. And my reaction is like WTF!!!! Maybe I am over reacting but damn it I can't help to be upset. I feel like we had a fabulous wedding and it is just not coming across the pictures.
Please someone give me a virtual hug because I am about to break down and cry.
