    When I booked my photographer I knew he had a long turn around for getting proofs back, this is because we get them all, likely 1200+ and they are all edited and re-touched already.  So I understand the delay but man is waiting difficult!!!

    Not to mention it seems like none of my family/friends took pictures - or they are totally holding out on me!

    Anyone else going crazy waiting for pro pictures?!!?

    I'm excited to see mine too! But i do have a bunch of guest pictures to hold me over. I keep reading posts on here about getting their photos back and them being horrible. I'm so afraid it's going to happen to me!!

    Don't go too crazy waiting! :]

    I am going crazy, too. Fortunately, we do have some guest photos. But I really want our pro ones. We don't even have teasers blogged yet, and probably won't until November! Our photographer and her partner have been soo busy. They shot 3 wedding the weekend before ours, 4 weddings on our weekend, 2 weddings the weekend after ours, and are on their way th NY for a wedding this weekend, then staying there for the WPPI conference! They just blogged one of the weddings that was shot the day before ours, so I have, at most, 2-3 other weddings for them to blog before mine goes up. But with them being gone for a week, it's gonna be a long wait. Honestly, I think my photog stretched herself a bit too thin, and her turnaround time is suffering. But I know the quality will be great, so hopefully it's worth the wait!

    Yes! Our guests got some decent ones, but there's always something a little off - like someone's hand in the edge of the picture, or a weird shadow. I can't WAIT to see the pro pics because I'm pretty sure he'll have been more careful not to get those issues in his shots. Also, he showed me a few on the day of the wedding (he was using a digital camera), and they looked *amazing*! Wish I could see them NOW!

    I am going crazy too! I've gotten 2 teasers and now nothing. Forunately, I do have loads of guest photos, but i know there are more out there!

    I know my photog does such a great job and that's why he takes the time that he does, but I just feel like yelling "HURRY UP ALREADY".

    OMG I haven't even gotten teasers...ugh!  Going crazy over here!  Judging from his blog he has uploaded the pictures from his 9-17 wedding...so I am either next or he has a 9-24 wedding and I am two away!  Ahhhh!

    No teasers for us yet but I just looked at our contract and it says we'll receive the photos "no later than 3 weeks from the wedding date", which means this Saturday! Hopefully we get them then!!!!! I'm super nervous/excited to see them because I haven't been happy with many of the guest pics I've seen so far... also, we were rushed and didn't get to spend much time taking posed photos, the lighting was weird during the ceremony, and the walls in the reception space were ugly (and very evident in the background of all the guest photos).  That being said, I have faith in her, and am hopeful that there will be at least a handful of good ones!

    @lovekiss - your photos are great! so glad you got great photos!

    @jboltz19: We're not getting married until October 2012, but we took our engagement photos over 8 weeks ago now and still NOTHING (and to add insult to injury our photog is bragging on fb how she's booked through 2012 and into 2013....focus on 2011, please!). Not even a teaser to keep me happy Frown I can only imagine how much worse it must be waiting for wedding pictures!!! Good luck with the waiting!!

    Yay, my photographer just emailed and said she'll have our slideshow up tonight and is sending out our disks!

    It's like she read my mind (or my weddingbee post)!

    It is hard to wait. The CD should arrive tomorrow. She posted all of them on her proofing area on her website tonight.

    Our photog said that proofs should go up on Tuesday or Wednesday. I am still waiting to find out whether she will wait until after our day after shoot is finished to send out out disks, or if we will get 2 seperate disk sets (1 wedding day, 1 day after). I just want more pretty pictures to look at. Is that too much to ask? LOL

    @jboltz19:  ME TOO!  Still have another 2 weeks to go, at least...I'm hoping she surprises us and gets them done early.  And I'm praying it won't be after the 2 weeks left.
