    #4 or #6. Where is your hubby-to-be in these? Why not have a picture of the 2 of you?

    Love #1 and #6... you look beautiful! I think depending on your wedding's color scheme you should go for black and white. Your photos would look really classic in black and white :)

    Thank you Bees!

     

    @Trishthedish36 - these are Bridal pictures - they are done without the hubby-to-be..He has not seen them - or the dress :)

    @Trishthedish36: The concept of bridals does not allow the hubby to be in the picture. Only the bride. I've seen it in a lot of southern weddings.

    I see why you are having a hard time picking, they are all beautiful! My photographer told me to pick a picture that shows your face. So I chose picture 4 for you.

    I selected two photos for my bridal pictures lol. (I know one bride who selected 3).

    I chose the others that I liked as 8x10 and 5x7s because they showed off my dress and/or veil, was an artsy bridal picture. I only chose that pictures that showed 3/4 of my body or from the chest up for my big photos. I chose the closeup to put in the newspaper.

    @bRooklynRocks: Ahh, I see. First time I'm hearing of bridals. I guess I've only seen engagement pictures displayed at receptions.  Nice way to show off your dress!  So I change my vote - #1 or #6 are the best dress shots for you, @mashka_f1.

    I like 1 because it shows your whole dress, but I LOVE 4 because you look so natural and truly happy in it!

    @mashka_f1: did YOU make it black and white? I love it in color, personally... but that coversion of black and white seems really flat and dull. You blend too much into the background.

    I like one too, but your feet being cut off is driving me nuts :-)

    I love #6 except for the peeling paint behind you, so I guess I am going with #1

    @KLP2010 - no the photographer made that "low resolution" black and white so that i can have a look at it, he said he can edit it more. 

    #1 is one of my favs and it does look good in black and white. 

    Bees the black and white pics are low resolution - so they might look worse than the color ones.

     

    OK, i am throwing a #7 out there - what you ladies think?

    I love the idea of having pics of just me in my dress and stuff, but am confused as to why you post them at the actual wedding, when you're actually there, in the flesh, for people to see? Can anyone explain this tradition to me?

    I voted for #5 & #6. But I also think the last one you post is cute too!

    i love #6 but i would keep it in color, as you have that great pop of color from the wall behind you.
