Dreamcatcher1229 tells us more.
That's fair. The back story is that I said yes to her offer because her other work is actually quite good. Her other wedding photos for previous instances looked beautiful, and that's how I assumed mine would turn out. I take responsibility, my husband and I shouldn't have assumed anything. I found out after the wedding that she doesn't like him much to begin with, soooooo I guess putting two and two together I can reasonably say that her distaste has something to do with the shotty and neglectful work. To answer a previous question here, forgive me for not answering the asker directly, the shots we ened up with for the ceremony itself were one of the first kiss, one of our intro as a married couple, and several blurred shots of mostly the audience with a hint of ceremony at the background. She did get my brother walking me down, but not of the beidesmaids and groomsmen. And mind you, she and I DID discuss in advance what events and who in the party we wanted pictured, as well as my request to catch as much of the reception as possible. We had a lot of friends and family travel from far away, and I had asked for more pictures of everyone together, mingling, and enjoying themselves. And thank you to whomever suggested we retouch some of the pictures, we've actually been working on that project and it's going well so far. So all in all I'd like to say that while I was disappointed in the outcome and the sad realization that my sister and I don't have the best of relationships, My husband and I are happy regardless and, thanks to other guests, still ended up with some good pictures. Also, a friend filmed the ceremony itself from beginning to end, so we're going to try to get some stills from that. This is a good lesson in perspective, I guess. Yeah, the situation ended in an FML for one particular detail, albeit an important one, but hey, at least my husband didn't bail out at the altar, or I didn't throw up or something. :-P Okay, sorry for that novel. lol Carry on!

Clearly. Oh well sorry guys :)
Photoshop can solve the bag problem!
Was the photographer going on and on about how it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen?
My sister hired a pro and he showed up and got their money but never actually delivered on the product. I had a friend do mine and they turned out okay but we had enough people there with cameras that we ended up with some nice ones. My dog even ended up in the. "New barker" as we happened upon a professional pet photographer lol. Your sister sounds like she needs a lesson in maturity.
sounds like you guys got a real pro
Sorry to hear that your wedding photos got screwed up. My husband took a photography class in the past and instantly became "The Expert". He was berating some of my natural shots of the kids to his brother, saying that I think I take good photos, his brother looked at the shots and told him that I could. Wasn't impressed. He also doesn't think about the background, I had to retake my daughter's formal photos after she got home because he had taken beautifully framed shots that included a messy dinner table in the background.
Business and pleasure shouldn't mix.
You get what you pay for OP...

Your sister is still a bitch for low balling you like that
She doesn't have to like your husband but that doesn't give her the right to screw you over on your wedding day. That was really childish of her to do that.
