I’m a photographer and am pretty shocked that the photographer didn’t get a single “just married” celebratory shot of the couple exiting down the aisle. No matter the wedding or the style of photography, some shots are mandatory and that is one of them. Even if you think the couple is not traditional and won’t care, take it anyway. No one has ever complained about an over abundance of photos. The “just married” exit shot makes more sense to me than a first look with bridesmaids- very weird for the photographer to push that. (Unless your bridesmaids aren’t involved with the getting ready process.) Definitely sit down with your photographer before the wedding and go over what shots are most important to you/your expectations so everyone is on the same page. Also, everyone always says go for an expensive photographer if you want good photos/“you get what you pay for”. This isn’t always the case. If you live near a college with a good photo program, recent grads can professional, gorgeous photos at a lower price point. They’re also getting experience/shots for their portfolio and you’re getting a discount on your photos. When I first graduated I shot several weddings and it really helped me build my professional portfolio. You looked gorgeous, love the whole aesthetic.

Hi all, I just want to say - I got married in October 2022 and at first, you may have some regrets such as: “why didn’t I get this picture? Or do my hair this way, instead of that way?” Etc. please ignore the thoughts, eventually they’ll go away. As humans, we tend to focus on the negative instead of positive. Your wedding day I’m sure was perfect, and at the end of the day it’s not the peak of your marriage. It’s just the start of many wonderful things to come. Enjoy your pictures/videos and take care!

I feel like the appetizer one is cute , its the imperfections that make it your day. Nobody can copy your day

When we got married 17 years ago, we just had my parents and brother. No other guests. The ceremony was so intimate and we loved it because it was our special moment. We didn’t have to worry about who can sit with who, and inviting people we didn’t want to, but “had to”. After the ceremony, we went out and had a meal with our “3 guests” and it was so relaxing. No wedding planners, no photographers, no organising flowers, no having to do this and that. It was intimate and magical and I regret nothing.

You can renew your vows in a few years and have another wedding 😀

Your dad is one of those guys who just looks like the nicest person ever. ♥️

What is important is to move on from your wedding and make sure every day of your marriage is 'near perfect' and without regrets. My husband and I eloped. For us, everyday of our marriage is the most important day, not our wedding day. We have been happily married for 37 years. It's not important to have a 'picture perfect' wedding, what's important is that you love each other.

1. The absolute best picture from my wedding was a candid shot a guest took at the reception. He caught a moment where my husband and I were looking at each other with marvelous expressions on our faces. Even this guy realized how good it was when he had the pictures developed because he mailed us the negatives. Had it printed larger and it has sat on my husband’s bedside table for 26 years. 2. The misspelling of a common menu item is on your printer not you. That is their job and a reputable vendor would have corrected it. Someone’s name or an unusual menu item I could understand, but NOT a menu heading. 100% on the printer.

Oh no…..I’m a photographer and walking down the isle photos is an absolute must have! First kiss as well but it looks like they got that. Although one thing I do ask the officiant ahead of time is to step aside when they do kiss so I can get l pictures without him or her in it. I also remind my couples (if they are comfortable) to make this kiss last so I can snap a ton of great images. If I have a second photographer then one of us will already be at the back waiting for the couple to walk out. If it’s just me, I quickly make my way there after the kiss. I also prep my couples beforehand to ensure I am there before they start exiting. It’s also possible that everyone will forget everything I said as they are dealing with the rush of emotions and I have to make the best of what I have. I hope this is helpful information to you all.

@@SarahBelleElizabeththen you should’ve kissed halfway down the aisle. They can’t just stop you in the middle of your walk and tell you to kiss. You do realise that right?

I was told that if everything went perfectly on your wedding day then you'd miss the real priceless moments.

Instead of the paid photographer, I got the best pictures of my friend walking down the isle with her mom, one full body and one close up. She has been forever thankful for that picture. My only suggestion after my sister's wedding is to have a person responsible to double check the photographer has take key pictures, even if there is a photo list request. Cheers!

2 or more photographers is advised for varied photos in case the other missed the shot.

What a beautiful bride and gorgeous dress. That style is timeless

I would’ve done everything the same but uninvited everyone. Was fun but I was socially exhausted for over a week afterwards and honestly I think people were more bothered about being there than we were about having people there. Mid-argument with one guest I literally told them if they don’t show up it’s for them to regret. I’ll still be getting married and having a good day. Up to them if they want to join.

You’ve gotta have a few mistakes for it to be charming. The misspelling is actually really cute!

Your photographer totally has one of those pictures banked in his/her drive. Just ask. People come back and ask me for specific photos ALL THE TIME and I almost always can dig one up and edit it if it wasn’t already. We take 1,000’s, unless it was blurry or they missed it, they have the photo.

I want a part 2 that also includes advice or preventability💘 future bride to be here!!!

Only 3 things I really wish I could do over at my wedding. 1. Have more time for dress alterations. Told the seamstress the sleeves were too tight. She yelled at me that she wasn't done yet. Told her there was no time for mistakes. She said it would be fine. It wasn't fine. My sleeves were too tight. 2. I went to venue in limo. Husband and Mom drove to venue in my car. After ceremony, husband and I left in the limo and Mom decided to catch a ride with sister. They left my car at the wedding venue and my MOH had to leave to go get it, missing part of the reception. 3. Uninvite one of my siblings who was trying to take all the attention. Some of her antics I didn't notice until after we watched the video. Some were done in front of me. She was just being her typical lying/annoying self. Everything else was perfect!

Awww we all have things we would have tweaked but yours looked beautiful and had a great memory!

For a wedding, “near perfect” is PERFECT!! The thing that makes weddings so amazing is the bringing together of two people (two lives becoming one). All the other stuff is just a thing! You looked beautiful, by the way 😍

At our wedding, the church was hot, so the front doors were open. During the ceremony, someone walking by outside yelled out loud, "You gotta be shittin me!" and it echoed through the church. Stunned - We looked at eachother, then the priest, and immediately burst out laughing, as did our bridal party, and the attendees. The comic relief did relieve a bunch of stress. People still being it up at family gatherings. 😄

the dress and hair bow/ribbon is STUNNING. one of my favorite I've ever seen

Omg we don’t have a good exit photo either! But it’s completely our fault lol, she even waved at us and signaled to stop and said “kiss!” And we just pecked real quick and kept on crying and walking out 🤣 the pic we have in laugh crying and it’s just terrible hahaha

The first photo of you and your bridesmaids was quite posed and professional appearing although you wouldn’t have preferred that it was taken differently! Sending many congrats!

I love the first look with your dad. That was one of my favorite things I did and now 3 years later where I had my first look with him is where our house is being built!

I love all the bridesmaids in white. That looks so elegant, and makes the bride look less odd. I always feel like bridal gowns look odd. No body else is that dressy, and white is so eye catching. It just feels like a costume. I love this look.

As a photographer, take notes that all of her regrets were related to the photographer. Everyone wants to find the cheapest in the Phone-tography era, but that experience is crucial for events like this. Creating a list of shots that are most important to you can help as well (outside of the main set shots which walking back down the isle is pretty common, however, she then says she did get it, but she looked like a "Dweeb" which could be a personal thing. Sometimes the "Dweeb" photos suck now, but you will remember the moment more fondly later because it's authentic.) You could hire someone to fix the spelling on the photos.

Your dress is gorgeous. It reminds me of old Hollywood. Very classy.

I hope you got so many shots of your dress from the back. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

What was the name of the item worn on your head? Is that basically a veil? What would be the specific name and where’d you purchase it?

That dress! Beautiful 😍

Ok but I really love your dress and the bow in the back. It feels really elegant and soft.

I concur with your sentiment 100%♡ The photograph with your first look with you Father is sublime perfection ♡ Australia

That smash room thing looked so dangerous. I’m not even a parent yet and I could barely watch it I kept thinking something would go wrong

The main thing I’d need to change was the person I married lol! I consider my son and daughter the 2 most wonderful things I got from my marriage so if I could ever change the past, I still wouldn’t change marrying him because I love my children too much. But I would have saved more money before divorcing him seeing as he paid 200.00/month in child support for both children when he felt like it which I wouldn’t have minded so much if he hadn’t been taking vacations overseas and buying big screen tv’s for his new house along with his new wife. He also stopped seeing his own children.

Wait a few years, then you can renew your vows, and make the changes that you want to make.

I had a lockdown wedding so we didn't get to walk down the aisle or have my dad give me away. I think the only thing I would change is just having family there I invited a couple of people from work & just never heard from them again I wish we got a picture of our two weddings one on top of the other

No wedding can be called perfect... imperfections are often the moments a couple or their guests regard most fondly afterwards.
