Settled with pre-wedding photos selection

Today, ben's mom and my mom came along with us to finalize the pre-wedding photos selection. 2nd look at the photos and I thought it didn't turn out too well actually. =( Ben on the other hand, look more photogenic than me! How could a groom look better than the bride huh.....?! Spent a couple of hours there filtering the photos again. This time, we know exactly what we want!

First I created a folder and shortlisted the photos we like, then slowly drilling down to the 42 photos inclusive in the wedding album package. We were doing pretty good and finally stuck to 42 photos without any additional photos. We took only one outdoor and one evening gown, most of it comprises of shoots of our white wedding gown and the chinese costume. We especially like the shots where I was in a mermaid cut gown. We took only one family photo as we thought it was over-priced and not quite worth our while.

After shortlisting the 42 photos, we then have to decide on 21 photos to put into the big album, another 21 to be included in a smaller album and which one to be used as the album cover. One big big headache is to decide which photo goes to the extra large photo with frame, the one where newly weds usually puts on their bed top. We discussed about this for quite long as each of us have different opinion. Everyone likes the full body view where I'm in the mermaid gown. Me on the other hand doesn't quite like the background as I thought it will look out-fashioned few years down the road. The shoots of both of us were good but the background. I asked the designer if that can be changed to a white background and the answer was no! We were also looking at another shoot but both our mothers said it cuts off the head so it's not too good for FengSui. We then ended up with another shot where both of us were looking at the camera focusing on our face. I hope it doesn't look tooo overwhelmed when we blow it up! (we might scare ourselves in the middle of the night)...hahahahahah! I'm just JOKING, it won't scare anyone because we're a gorgeous couple. ok!?


After which, both mothers got to choose their own pic of us as it is meant for them. It was a fast process, it's like okie this and ok that, settled! Next is 5 different poses to be distributed to my sisters and friends.


Done!
