Our Wedding photos online - Artistic or Rubbish?

[Steven W]

I'm back from honeymoon to find that the photographer has put our wedding photos online in a gallery.

If you can be bothered to look at them I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts. We asked for a few staged photos, but most of them are natural.

I've got to trawl through which ones I want to print, which is going to be one hell of a task, but I do really like a lot of them.(Page 7 onwards for garden photos).

Nice to be back to HEXUS after two weeks off! Look forward to being back writing for HEXUS.gaming Monday morning!

I know some of you guys are into photography, so it would be nice to know whether you think our money was well spent with this photographer.

Hmm, perhaps I should have put this in the photography section.(in fact I've moved it)

some nice photos there Steven! didn't get a chance to look at them all, but it looks like you had a good time
I liked the one of the shoes early on, and the camera centering on the flower on your lapel
How was the honeymoon? where abouts did you go?

Went to the Tarn region of France, 1 hr from Toulouse for one week and then changed our flight from Galway for the second week and went to Amsterdam instead (where I'd been on my stag do two weeks earlier). Really nice time, 1 week of sunbathing, 1 week of city life.

Congrats. Mine in coming up in November. Too much organisation to deal with.

Yep, ridiculous amount. We done ours in 6 months. Good luck with yours, it will be well worth all the hassle I'm sure. Enjoy the day, you only do it once.

Well well, i just came back from my honeymoon so snap!
I also went for a pair of photographers who favoured the unusual style, but haven't seen the results yet (have to wait another 7 days first).
Nice one though - am impressed with 6 months, i distinctly remember it being "only 1 year to go" and things being arranged.
I enjoyed my day although it wasn't like anything else i've ever done, nerve racking but good at the same time like some sort of twisted exam.

Hardest part - learning to stop saying "my girlfriend" LOL

PS as for the photos, yeah some are a bit too arty but you've got a good selection and plenty to choose from which is the main thing and some really good ones there that could be blown up and framed. Or made into t-shirts and given at christmas

Cool, congratulations! I know what you mean about nerve racking. I can honestly say I don't remember much about the Church, I was too busy trying to make sure I didn't faint, burst into tears or change my mind.

I think out of that lot of photos, we'll probably get one put onto canvas but really undecided at the moment which one to choose. I quite like one of the final photos outside of the hotel, it looks like a poster. There's a lot of repetition in many of them though, but then again I'll maybe only choose around half of those on there.

looks like you had a fun day! congrats

There's some great photos there!! Colours are lovely Looks as though they captured the day really well.... I think I'd have huge trouble choosing which I wanted printed!!

There are some ace photo's however there are a couple i'm sure you should avoid displaying due to the caption competition potential of some hehe.

Number 82 for example

Nope .. Not once. Twice + 2 receptions. One wedding in London, a reception in Dubai, a reception in India and another wedding in Sri Lanka.

I am sure it will be worth it. Need to sit down and have a better look at your photos.

Photos are always worth paying for as they are the only physical memories you will have from the day.

Blimey, that sure as hell sounds like fun. Should be worth all the efforts!

You should have hundreds of great photos from that schedule.

All the best with your plans.

There are loads of great pics there. I do think that personal taste will dictate whether you like them or not though.
