Today, I finally got to see the professional photographs taken at the wedding I recently attended. I can't find a single picture of myself that I like. I was the bride. FML

Hey guys: OP here. You're probably right to a degree about it being my issue. I'm not the most confident, I gained a lot of weight and I was hospitalised 2 days before the wedding so I was pretty ill. On the other side of the coin the photographers insisted on some outside photos and it was raining that misty rain... so my hair and makeup were ruined. The photos are all very natural and taken as you see them, not much in the way of editing so flaws are there for all to see. The girls were lovely and I've seen some of their other work and it was stunning. I guess maybe I don't have a flattering angle! Some of my guests candids were alright so I'll use those.

When in doubt, photoshop the problems out. Believe it or not, I am just a lowly sunflower of the species Bidens tripartita, but with a few clicks in Adobe's brilliant photo editor, some environmental lighting, red eye reduction, clone-stamping, etc., I can create the impression of a human face. It's a miracle!

Easy solution. Hire another photographer, rent out the venue, get another marriage license, invite the guests again, and recreate the whole day.

find a good photoshop professional and have your pics reedited, don't worry OP

I had the same problem for graduation. You could try using photoshop, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. In the end, they're just pictures, and what really matters is that you have found the love of your life. He/she will love you unconditionally no matter what you look like in a few pictures.

Awe. You're too critical of yourself. I'm sure you are beautiful and judging yourself at a much harsher level than the general audience.

Have you spoken to the photographer about how disappointed you were? Maybe they'd be willing to do another session with you guys dressed in your wedding attire so that they have happy customers. I know it's not the same as having pictures you love from that day, but at least you might have some that youre happy with!
