    DH put this in less-politically-correct terminology.  I finally got my pro photos back.  Most of them are just fine, but there are a couple that made me laugh.  They obviously did not turn out as intended.  I'm not really sure why the photographer even included them...do you have any pictures that are so bad they're good?

    Picture #1--When the bride has a schnoz like this, you might not want to take a profile picture

    Picture #2--I have seen so many cute "bridal party jump" photos.  Mine was obviously a FAIL:) Note the 3rd BM from the left--the photographer had gotten on her last good nerve.

    Picture #3--We are very patriotic, but the flagpole?

    The Bridesmaid looks ticked even from a distance. It is kinda funny.

    The photographer was a little annoying.  This was after the ceremony and people just wanted to go enjoy cocktail hour.  This was one of the last pictures and I think the bridal party had a race to the bar:)

    The jump pic looks more like a Everyone wave pic.

    omg... they look like they were taken with just a regular point and shoot too, did he even have a nice camera?  WHY wouldn't he tell you guys the jumping shot wasn't working??

    Wow she does look annoyed!  I personally like the strong profile pic (I have a strong nose too).

    Aw, I don't see anything wrong with your nose at all!

    My photographer told me to 'spin'.  So I twirled around super-awkwardly.  It obviously looked like crap because it never showed up in the pictures she sent us.

    Our photographer tried to pose us with me standing and my husband sitting on the train of my dress.  He just looked at her like she had two heads and just said "No."

    our photographer had all of the groomsmen holding me up and my husband standing to the side with his arms out looking confused. I really hate the idea and the photo, so it will not be used for anything. Good thing she had a few good ideas that made for usable photos!

    the free "photographer" we found to do our e-pics was CRAZY. we did all these weird poses, like with fi standing behind a tree and looking around at me. they were seriously awful. we went along with it because they were free and for his portfolio, but it's seriously embarrassing to know there are pictures of us like that out there!

    Our photog was pretty great but I did wonder why on earth he would put this CHINS pic up on his site in the slideshow...

    NOT MY BEST ANGLE

    Remember, everyone - you're way more critical of your own features in photos than your photog is. A lot of times, people LOVE pictures of you that you hate. :) Don't be so worried!

    The "jumping" picture kinda looks like you guys are trying to flag down a ride or are lost on an island and need the helicoper to spot you.
