Memberout of curiosity, where is your photographer located? i understand if you don’t want to give her name, but it sounds awfully similar to mine (with the angled pictures, etc).
MemberI live in Kansas City. And they aren’t alone in the angled photo phenomenon. Just look at any photog’s website, or an already married Knottie bio. The angle thing is a big deal right now. And while I can appreciate it in certain cases (in one of the photos taken of me and my husband, there was an object behind us that she wanted to get in the shot, which I can understand…and it looks ok in that case), random up-close shots of my head on an angle don’t look artsy or cool to me…they make me nauseous,
Another thing that’s kind of popular right now, I’ve noticed, is the bride and groom getting wrapped up in some way in the bride’s veil. I hate that, too. We didn’t do that at all, though, so she listened to me there! 
MemberTHIS HAPPENED TO ME… I had the best day of my life, and about two weeks later my photographer put our pics online, and I HATED THEM… I liked maybe five pictures out of five hundred. We researched and spent $3K on a photog – I still don’t think that he was worth $3K, but I am finally happy with our photos.
Yeah he did miss some of the specific shots I asked for (rings in the bouquet, boys argyle socks, etc.), and my necklace was crooked in EVERY picture… but I have come to really like more and more of the photos that he took at our wedding. I am happy that he is fine with me incorporating pictures taken by friends and family into my flush mounted album.
Give it a couple more weeks, go on your honeymoon, and by the time you get back you just might love more and more of the pictures.
MemberTime…it is the only answer to your quandry.Â
MemberThat’s what I was hoping mthree. Thankfully, my husband studied photography in college (it was his major, actually), and he and the photog talk shop very well together about cropping photos and that sort of thing. I asked him last night if he thought that we might be able to crop some of them so they have a more P.J. feel to them like we wanted, and he said it’s probably doable.
Karianne, we actually got married almost 2 months ago, and had our honeymoon and all that. The photos took quite some time to pull together, so we didn’t see them for the first time until last week.
Thanks again, everyone. I’m feeling a lot better about this already. After hitting my thank you notes for a little while, I might go back to favoriting the photos on the website. Happy holidays to you all!
MemberOf course, Mr Corn and I have lots of pictures of us all caught up in my veil…but that was because it was so crazy windy. 🙂 You can’t control every aspect of your wedding, as you know, but I can see how it would be frustrating to pay to have some control and still not get what you want. I am wondering, if you could do it all over again, would you have hired someone who wasn’t as artistic? Is that what you really wanted; because everything that you have described that you hate is what all the ‘artistic’ photogs are doing these days.
