“There’s a reason experienced wedding photographers charge what they do.”
Here are some of the best responses:“I would not have told anybody about my wedding plans. Everyone felt that they knew better than us. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law lost their shit over my flower selection. My mom told me I was an embarrassment over my catering selection. When showing my aunt my Pinterest board for wedding dresses, she literally said, 'I know your style is better than this; these are terrible. It’s a good thing that I caught it before you bought anything.
It seems petty because it is only a one-day event. But seeing how judgmental and pushy they all were in trying to bully me into each of their own specific tastes really opened my eyes, and has caused a bit of a 'strain in those relationships.' Read: I’m no longer the easy-to-manipulate pushover they all needed me to be.”“As a former wedding photographer, I could add a lot here, but all I will say is that there’s a reason experienced wedding photographers charge what they do.
The short answer is I wish I'd waited to know exactly who I was before getting married, but I don't regret it entirely. I still married the man I love, and that's all that matters.”“I would have made sure to plan a bit of alone time for myself the day of. I didn’t even get five minutes to be by myself before my wedding, to breathe, reflect, or generally be in the moment. That morning was a blur of people and activity.
“We eloped and I made a point of not using my phone the entire day. Now I wish that I had photos of the food we ate, and just low-key shots of my husband.”“My sister said that she wished someone had packed her and her husband an extra to-go box of the food served at the wedding. They barely ate dinner because they were busy talking to people. They had an adrenaline rush with not much of an appetite during the wedding, but were starving when they got to their hotel.
