………..man I am getting so ansy waiting to see pictures!! I know its only been a month but its so brutal waiting lol.
My photographer is AMAZING and we were actually her last official clients as she is moving on to pursue painting fulltime so she offered us a wicked deal if we were able to forego having an online viewing gallery because she was trying to shut certain vendors of her own down without having to pay another years fee’s….so we literally havent seen anything except about 15 she sent via FB as a preview!
Most people at least get to see theirs in some gallery even if its just thumbnails with a watermark all over it.
She said she would be done by end of next week, and then all I will be waiting is mailing time….so because shes in another province will be a few business days at least…so about 2 weeks from now I guess…
ARGH

We didn’t get any sort of preview. It took about 3 months until we got to see the online gallery of thumbnails. Then it took another month for them to send the high res photos. I was going crazy too, so you’re not alone! Hey, at least you got to see 15 preview shots! I would have killed to see those!

@shanbp: OMG, I can’t imagine not getting a sneak peek! I was getting super antsy recently and I was stalking our photographer’s website and saw she finally posted on her blog this morning! We had 4-6 weeks written in the contract, so we were hoping she’d be done yesterday on our 1 month anniversary, but today’s better than never! Yours will be done soon, and will be SO WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Good luck, and I hope the mail is the fastest it’s ever been for you!

I feel you! It’s becoming the greatest test of my patience:). I have had two preview pictures so far since my Aug 3 wedding, and I’m dyyyyying.
We knew our photographer well, and she was positively flooded with weddings this summer, sometimes two per weekend, as well as everything else that work, life and summers bring, so we are trying to be understanding. I hear you, it’s super hard.

@AverageBessyJ: thats brutal! I keep going through the guest ones I have but they are ALL the same… just some ceremony ones and reception ones that seem to be the exact same poses lol…and blurry…
All the ones Im DYING to see are getting ready, the detail shots, all the non-blurry pics from ceremony and reception, plus all the fun Bridal Party pictures in btw that of course NO one else got besides her cause no one was there! AH
Ours has a lot going on too…she and her family just moved this past weekend and shes in the middle of trying to homeschool her 3 boys under 10 because the school closest to them has no room…so….patience is a virtue lol

I know how you feel! We’re at 2 months in 2 days, and we haven’t seen a single photo!! Our photographer got married the weekend after us, so we figured it would take a while, but we started seeing photos she took of BM’s twin’s engagement the day after our wedding, so my mom and bro have been texting/emailing the photog (she’s SIL’s best friend), and she said she’s starting to edit them this week. CAN’T WAIT!!!

Question….. how many pictures are you ladies expecting to get??
(I WILL upload the ones I have tonight as a preview I swear lol… man…had to go over to the inlaws last night for Mother-In-Law bday…too many distractions)
Our photographer gave us an AMAZING deal for what she did and we’re apparently getting a crazy amount of pictures back….she said we’d be getting roughly 1000!!! Granted they were there from 10am until basically 10pm (when dinner ended) and she had an assistent who did take some shots as well. I cant even wrap my head around trying to go through them all.
On another note I saw a few moments of the home video DH cousin took last night…..and now I really cant wait to see….it was mostly the stuff I didnt get to see like everyone coming down the aisle before me. (DH and his parents walking down crying)

Normally when you right click on a picture you can save-as??? well I can only access my work email on the comp here…..so I cant get into my gmail….and when I sent the pics to myself at work, i tried to save them (right click on them to save-as) and nothing…I cant do crap all lol….. ugh, sucks

@sarahuccs: thanks! The cake was actually a total surprise lol…..I was pretty much “done like dinner” on make decisions and he asked me “what kind of design do you want for the cake?” (we picked flavors) and I said you know what? I really dont know….do you feel comfortable surprising me? (he was my coordinator but also the catering director/decorator/menu creator etc…) so he said yes, you’ll love it.

@shanbp: I know your husband! Haha, I went to school with him when I was little. I also shot a wedding at the carriage house inn a few weeks ago, and panicked when I saw the first photo thinking it was my bride, haha 🙂
As for the waiting, I know it sucks but they’re coming I’m sure!
