Non-professional wedding pics

P: 8/18/2008 12:35:54 PM
DearBuddha Cut Rock Total Posts: 340 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2008	My husband and I just got married three weeks ago in our hometown north of Boston. We didn't bother to hire a professional photographer, as we wanted to cut costs where we could. We were honeymooning in Europe and doing quite a bit of country hopping, which is budget draining to begin with, and we really wanted to have enough money to enjoy ourselves fully. Seeing as most photographers quoted us between $1500-$2400, we decided to forgo it in favor of family and friends snapping away. One of my cousins is quite talented despite being an amateur, and the pictures she took are stunning. As soon as I receive the discs, I'll load them to this thread. So this is a series of pictures we have gathered...Hope you guys enjoy :) "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher

It was so green that day, even though it was incredibly overcast all day (it poured five minutes after our ceremony!). You can't tell from this picture, but I had six bridesmaids and my husband had six groomsmen. "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher

DearBuddha Cut Rock Total Posts: 340 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2008	The train on my dress was so pretty and quite long, but I was so fearful of it raining and getting muddy while it was down that I kept it up all throughout the ceremony "I was street smart.

DearBuddha Cut Rock Total Posts: 340 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2008	Resizing these really loses the quality, I think. Please ignore the cr*p quality, I guess. One of my bridesmaids and I had the exact same pair of shoes! We live across the country from each other, and I allowed each girl to choose her own attire and accessories. When we found out we had bought the same pair of shoes, we couldn't stop laughing at how similar we are. I suppose that's why we've been friends for 15 years, and why she was one of my bridesmaids :). "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher

I too am thinking about hiring a friend rather than drop 2k (since, thats about the size of my budget to begin with!). And, i LOVE your height difference! my man is 6'1 and i am 5'5 (on a tall day). His parents? 6'10 (dad) and 5'3 (mom) _____________________________ i look at white bread like a young lover

DearBuddha Cut Rock Total Posts: 340 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2008	That's all for now, mostly because resizing these is too time consuming, and the quality is lessened too much. "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher

You look stunning, and you and your husband look great together, even with the height difference. It's so nice to see some "non-pro" pics that came out so beautiful. We're having my dad, who is a sort of amateur but very talented photographer do ours, and even though we know they will be lovely, it's nice to see others who have done the same with such success! Congratulations on getting married!

These are from the series my photographer cousin did-she's not a professional, but her work is beautiful, and I was so lucky to have someone who cared what I wanted taking my pictures. So here we are :) Thanks for looking :) "I was street smart. Unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive." -Carrie Fisher
