    Can we just talk about shots like this real quick?

    Wedding-Dress-Window-Photo-275x412.jpg

    As one website said: The bride and groom are paying an exorbitant amount for someone to follow them around with a camera all day, so shouldn't they have their picture taken? The artistic shot of the dress, hanging in a window, bathed in sunlight, is missing something. The bride. That stock image along with the invitation gently leaning on a glass of champagne, or the table setting with the fork and knife just so, are fantastic promotional shots for a wedding planner's book. For a wedding photo album? Not so much.

    I am a professional wedding photographer. That is a beautiful shot and most of my brides ask for a shot of their dress without them in it. The current trend in bridal photography is photojournalism. Which means capturing details, as well as the moment. That shot is actually perfect for the background of an album page. Traditional albums with 4x6 prints in little plastic sleeves are pretty much a thing of the past. People are going with coffee table books. Each page can have an can have background images and foreground images. Detail shots are excellent backgrounds.

    And the picture of the invitation and what not... my sister handmade all of her decorations. She loved the shots of the place settings and centerpieces.

    But personally, I think this particular picture of the dress is a bit creepy. The lighting gives the dress a spooky feel.

    I loved the photographs of our favors, place settings, etc. Our wedding was busy and fun, but I barely got time to eat much less enjoy the scenery and decor.

    I have to agree with this... we got a few detail shots because we were supposed to get a coffee table book... but something happened and it didn't happen... eitherway.

    I wish I could see all of the photos, but the settings at work prevent a lot of them... The butt cheek photo - NO HELL NO! Tacky as hell. I would suggest having someone who is not in the photos helping if you have a friend taking the photos to make sure you are getting what you WANT! I wish I'd had someone doing that for me so I made sure I spoke up when the photographer was doing silly stuff or things that were clearly not wanted.

    Photos like these are probably why that firewall even exists.

    These make me think the bride and her friend are so close, the groom is actually marrying 1.5 women. Whether he likes it or not.

    These are hilarious. Being into photography myself this is common sense and the photo shop ones but the dress in the window is nice but should of angle it better.

    I am not a fan of this particular shot but I do like the idea. I have seen it done very well. I also have one of my dress along with other detail shots including my bracelet, the rings, etc. I love the detail shots.

    The ring shot came in handy when we were re-ordering my husband's wedding band. He lost it white water rafting the month before our first anniversary. The store for some reason couldn't seem to figure out which one it was even with all our receipts.

    I'm down with the achievement unlocked minus the wife being "obtained". Lets find a better way to phrase that shall we? And I'm totally down with the T-rex because the shot was done VERY well. I'm attending an uber-nerd wedding in November so my thoughts on this *may* be slightly biased. I also thought it was hysterical our friends made the date on the save the date card out of various dice.

    ^This (except I was not invited to said nerd wedding).

    There was a whole article somewhere about this fad, but I can't remember where it was. Acg posted it a while ago. This is one of the tamer ones. Don't.

    WTH!!!! I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY. LMAO...

    I've been trying to find the origin of this monstrosity and have failed. There are some assumptions out there that this has something to do with feminism. Gross. Just gross.

    apparently this is from some big Porn show they have in Vegas where companies will show all the newest, latest and greatest pornographic paraphernalia about to hit the market.
