    Hi Gals,

    After much deliberation, I'm posting the login info for my bridal portraits. I wasn't super thrilled with my pictures, and I need to be comforted and loved by complete strangers who now know my email address. After today, I'm taking down the login info as not to creep myself out totally. 

    Here's the link to the login page:

    The Password is: shriner

    email address is : elaine.ef@gmail.com

    Yeah, I'd also like to know what you don't like about them.

    I really like the ones with you at the gate with your back towards the camera and there are some great full length shots. My favorite portrait is one of the very last ones (105), but they all look good to me.

    What will you be using the bridal portraits for?

    You look beautiful!  And I love the boots!!  I especially like the one on the balcony! I think it is always weird seeing pictures of yourself - you will always be your biggest critique.

    Yeah maybe you can be more specific about what aspects you don't like.  Obviously some pics are better then others but that's the nature of photography.   You'll get like 50 pics and out of those there will be like 5 that are total keepers.  Really you're too cute not to take a good pic.

    I think I recognize your dress! Alfred Angelo 1148? It's a very flattering dress and I think you look gorgeous. What don't you like about the pictures?

    Hahaha. Thanks gals. @mallorynjmf: I felt awkward in a LOT of them. I guess I didn't really feel like myself that day and we were super rushed getting them all done. Plus, I DIY'd my hair and it started falling apart. 

    We're using ONE of the pictures for the reception and then my mom will have it up on her "wall of brides" (bridal portraits of her, her mom, her mom's mom, my two sisters, and myself). I guess the reason I didn't like them or the reason they freaked me out is that I'm really scared that my wedding pictures will be awkward! There are several shots where the dress looks really weird like it's falling off of me...which I've had it altered and it looks great and fits normally...but I'm just scared that I'll really dislike my wedding pictures based on these. :-/

    Lovely photos! We have the same dress! Now I'm nervous mine will fall off my shoulders too (I can see what you mean in some of the pics) - I have my final fitting this week so will need to double check where the straps are sitting. I don't think you need to worry too much, you've had practise now and I think on the day you will be with your DH and feeling all happy and relaxed so they will be lovely :)

    I really like them!!  Love the look, love the surroundings and those stairs are really neat!  The cowboy boots touch is awesome and personal as well.  And the gazebo ones, where you'rem climbing...how cool!!  Makes me wish I did bridal portraits!!

    Don't worry about feeling awkward for wedding photos.  You just got that out of the way!  I felt the same way for our e-pics.  It took me ages to feel comfortable, but that way, on the day, I felt really at ease.  You are adorable, and I can actually see the progression in your comfort level with each page.  You only need a few good ones, and you definitely have those!

    those pictures are SUPER gorgeous!! I know how you feel about the awkward, but I think you'll be fine!! Just relax and have fun. If your wedding pics turn out as good as the bridal pics, you're one lucky gal!! they are wonderful!!

    I feel like you and i would be the same in front of the camera.  Some of your shots did look a little stiff - but definitely not all of them. I liked the ones where you could see your natural smile / laugh.  I think that you'll be just fine for your regular pictures, now that you've gotten used to being in front of the lens!  If you have to, practice at home with a close girl friend.  Get the thought that you feel weird out of your head because it'll read on your face, and don't pose in a way you wouldn't on a normal day - arms out etc.  Be your natural self!  Plus, you weren't really on your wedding day, so maybe it didn't feel real.  You will be glowing on your wedding day so no worries :)

    I felt the same way for our engagement pictures!  we didn't even see most of them b/c the photog edited out a bunch, b/c FH and I acted unlike ourselves in some of the pictures.  i have to do this in the next couple of weeks, too.  I know though that by the time the regular pix are shot, we'll be a regular Zoolander and Top Model - total pros. hehe. Practice makes perfect.  Even if it's in the bathroom, when FH is at work, with a point and shoot camera.
