So we finally got the prints of our wedding photos last week. It only took nearly 8 months! And really it wasn't the photographer's fault. He had them ready for us to view way back in April, but I couldn't make up my mind which to have printed. There were 366 to choose from after all. Every time I tried I was overwhelmed with a panicky feeling and gave up. I finally sucked it up, with the help of Jared, and chose in August. And then my photographer went and had twins (via his wife) so he got a little busy. Anyway, he finally sent us the prints and because we waited so long he included 4x6's of ALL 366! Yeah, he was only supposed to print 75! Thanks for hooking us up, Daniel! (Although honestly, I'm pretty sure a motivating factor is that it was a lot easier to print all of them instead of going through and figuring out which 75 of the 366 we wanted. Fine with me!) We also got 6 8x10's and an 11x14. I wish I could post some right here, but I don't have the CD yet with all the digitals, so if you haven't already, go check out the link on my sidebar to see them all on Shutterfly.
Oh, and the photo above was actually taken by my sister, Lauren... and then tweaked by me a little. I really like how in addition to being a great photo of my bouquet, you can also see some of the details of my dress really well.
The frustrating part of this story is that I can't find my wedding album that is supposed to house all these photos. My mom bought me one which we also used as the guest book, and I know I packed it in my suitcase and brought it back to NC... but now I cannot find it! I'm totally perplexed. Our apartment isn't that big, so it is quite a feat for it to get lost. I organized all my photos and spent a large portion of Saturday either looking for or contemplating where that damn album could possibly be. But to no avail! It's a mystery!
Ugh, wedding photos. And photographers. I had a less than pleasant experience with mine, but I do have MAYBE one or two photos that I like. So sad!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back!
That is awful that you only got a couple good ones! I am SO grateful that I like our photos. Sure there are some I'm not crazy about, but overall, I'm very pleased. And we got a pretty good deal too. Plus, I just enjoyed working with our photographer.
ReplyDeleteHey, do you know Thomas Nordquist?
ReplyDeleteKayli-- You bet I do! He is my brother-in-law. He is married to my husband's sister. How do you know him?
ReplyDeleteWahoo, I love wedding photos. Yours ARE beautiful. (Though I take a while to look at pix and have only looked at the first 100.) I'm so glad your guy gave you prints of all of them. What a relief. I love the picture Lauren took for the same reason, I love that dress detail.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh--that is so weird! I used to go out with him in high school. But mainly, our families are totally great friends. His parents lived in Canada not too many years ago right (well, and him and the rest of his siblings too), and then they moved to North Dakota. Well, my parents are from Canada (and I was born there) and they knew each other. When a job at Minot State opened up, my dad told Thomas' dad about it and kinda urged him to try for it (I think.). So anyway, we lived in North Dakota and everyone in our families were friends--our parents, and all the kids from oldest to youngest. Yeah, Thomas and I had fun, dated a bit, then went back to being just friends. Anyway, I was just figuring out the Facebook thing and was browsing and saw your picture in Thomas' friend list. *C*R*A*Z*Y!!! Seriously, so wild.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Katrina your dress is so gorgeous! Oooh it makes me want to get married again. I am glad you got your pictures finally. It's so fun to look at them and think of that happy day.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your patience, Katrina. We had a great time photographing your wedding. Did I tell you Utah Bride and Groom magazine wanted to use some of your photos in their magazine? I was working on a couple of projects so I didn't have time to send the photos in, but they thought your wedding was great, too :-)
ReplyDeleteDaniel, thanks for stopping by! I just put a bunch of the photos in frames and they look great. We are really happy with them. That's so cool about the magazine wanting them! There are some I thought definitely looked magazine worthy... well done to you! I've found that a lot of people are unhappy with their wedding pictures... so I'm SO glad that we love ours. Thanks again!
