E-photo worry!

LauraBabe08 Cut Rock Total Posts: 228 Last Post: 5/11/2009 Member Since: 10/3/2007	I just had an e-photo session with FI on monday in pittsburgh, pa. I didn't get any photos back yet, but I have a feeling that they turned out bad. FI and I drove from Maryland to Pittsburgh the night before and arrived in Pittsburgh around 2am. I got about 7 hours of sleep, but was still tired and battling a cold. I realized after the photos that I forgot to put blush on my cheeks for the photos (I just purchased new bobbi brown blush for the photos and completely forgot about it) and I just felt stuff and congested all day. We took photos in front of/on a lovely bridge, in a restuarant, in the city of oakland, and on mt. washington. We changed outfits a few times, and I started out w/ curled hair and straightned it half-way through. I feel like the straight hair looked "stringy", I felt nervous during the pics b/c I said I want more "natural" but theres nothing natural about taking e-photos, and I felt congested and sick. Did anyone else feel bad about their photos and then surprisingly love them? I am hoping thats what happens. Right now I'm really scared. * March 14, 2009 *

Try to relax, I'm sure you will love at least some of the photos. marchswallowbird is right. that said, I always just assume my photos will turn out gross because 85% of my photos are really unflattering. haha. but that doesn't help!!! just don't worry. the worst case scenario is - the photographer will touch up your photos (add blush if really necessary), or make them black & white so you can't tell that there's any blush missing. and in this worst case scenario, I can guarantee you will have at least a few photos that you'll love. but I'm sure it will turn out WAY better than the worst case scenario . and listen to marchswallowbird. she is very wise.

I don't know what I'm freaking out about them - I just didn't feel my best and I am surprised that I was a little nervous taking the pics (I really didn't think that I would be). But towards the end I was wayyyyy more comfortable, which is a good thing because I know I will be comfortable on the wedding day. I can't wait to get the pics back - I kinda feel like I just took an exam and I'm waiting for my scores. (nerdy I know). FI is so cute and says I looked beautiful and he knows they will be great. so I am going to try to take his word for it! * March 14, 2009 *

I went back and read your thread about how you were nervous before your pics and then I saw your pics and they are perfect! I am hoping the same thing happens to me! I am just feeling stupid b/c I forgot to wear blush I just felt all around awkward. I just hope we get the pics soon so that I can stop worrying! * March 14, 2009 *

somehowcollide Ideal Rock Total Posts: 830 Last Post: 6/22/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2008	Hi LauraBabe08 You're like my wedding twin! We are getting married a day later than you (March 15th) and we took our E-pics two days before you (Saturday). My photographer just sent me a teaser pic and, um, I'm not exactly thrilled, but its not his fault. I feel like my roots are showing and that fiance's pants are too wrinkled, my bangs are falling flat, our outfits don't coordinate-okay, I'll stop now. I think I might just be hard to please!! The moral is, we're much more critical than others are. I'm sure I won't ever be 100% happy with my pictures, and I have a ton of apprehensions as well. I guess the both of us can just wait and see..! Keep me updated and I'll do the same for you. (PS, here's the silver lining: You probably took a lot of time and effort in choosing your photographer, he/she is probably very skilled and will make your pictures look gorgeous!) I know a man who is a diamond cutter. He mows the lawn at Yankee Stadium.
