Hi Bees
I am finally about to order my first wedding pic to put on display in our home. I have an 8×10 frame we received as a wedding gift. it has our names and wedding date engraved, so i can only put a picture that is oriented like these.
Can you help me decide, i have narrowed it down to 3! Please tell me why or why not you choose one.
I like #1 because its your typical portrait pose and i really like the palm leaf. I like #2 because both Darling Husband and I like how we look in it and the colors in the back drop are nice and soft. And we like #3 because of the gorgeous sunset of course and I am a sappy cheesy person who likes kissing pics! And we plan on getting a canvas pic much bigger than 8×10 that won’t be a kissing one for sure, so its not like this would be our main pic on display.
thanks!

I voted for the first one because you guys look great, and I think it is the best to display as a portrait.

wow, i am surprised with the votes for #1, for some reason i thought the votes would help me eliminate it! i do like it alot, especially the background. i think my main issues is that i have so many cool, unique photos, that one is just kinda standard and more boring? (pose wise anyway). AND ok, my biggest issue that i feel my forehead looks unusually big in it for some reason. but at the same time, i am not ready to take it out!
i am hoping for some pros to comment as they always have advice on which picture to pick based on their technical knowledge!

@BlueSatinBows: thank you!
@eloping: haha, sandals are actually super common for beach destination weddings! he bought those brand new for our wedding at my request! i chose his outfit based off this inspiration pic:

keep the votes coming please!
Now #3 is in the lead, which makes me happier, so i think i am starting to discover my true preference! Darling Husband also told me that he is not really a fan of #1. he says it looks too artificial and posed. So #1 is out of the running since i was on the fence (because of my forehead) and I want Darling Husband to love the one i pick since its his wedding pic and frame too!! (I thought he was okay with it before). …. i will see if i can remove it from the poll……
ETA: I couldn’t remove #1 from the poll, so please don’t vote for it anymore.

I chose #1 (his flip flops do drive me a little crazy) it has the best body language. Its the only pic where you’re embracing eachother.
ETA: Just saw you want to take #1 out of the running, my second fave is #3. #2 is a little too soft focus or something for my taste

@LGenz: thanks for your input 🙂 i did like #1 for that reason, that’s why i kept it in the running at first. But i guess we are embracing in a kiss in the third! i think that is the one i will go with for this frame. I really like the beach background since we had a beach wedding and i like we are kissing. i guess i also want something more unconventional. and i like that is a full length of my dress! (and of course his sandals don’t bother me, i love them!).
thanks for the input everyone! for those who only voted as well – it really helps to figure out what i really want when other people tell you what to do, LOL.
