Everyone knows the photos are a huge part of any wedding day.
They’re the one tangible thing that remains from the big day. It goes without saying that for this reason, people get fairly emotional about the wedding album, and perfect pictures are the cherry on top of the day.
However, for one couple, the photos that were returned left them feeling a little… deflated.
Can you see why?
Can you see the problem?
Not only are the photos unflattering, but a 10-year-old could have done a better job on Microsoft Paint.
The bride in question, Jaclyn, took it all in her stride and took to Facebook to share the photos, writing:
So, what do you do when you finally receive your actual wedding day photos and find yourself sorely disappointed in them?
Get angry? Check.
Shed a few tears over them? Done.
Post some of the best (of the worst) on social media for amusement? Absolutely!
Here’s the lowdown – we got one of those “bao ka liao” wedding packages that included actual day photography from a pretty reputable bridal shop. Before we signed on, we were told that while we couldn’t choose our photographer, the standard of the talent pool was consistent. Naturally (and being Singaporean), we asked, “sure annot“. And were promptly shown a portfolio of actual day photos.
They looked alright, and so we signed on thinking, “okay la hor, how bad can they be.”
It’s bad guys. Like, first-date-and-you-clog-the-toilet-with-your-pangsai bad. Or, trust-a-fart-and-a-bit-of-poop-comes-out bad. (I’m not saying any of those things happened to me before)
Anyway, we’re looking for some redress from the shop at the moment, but nothing is going to take away the fact that our wedding photos by this dude are pretty much ruined. What’s more, he was our only “pro” photog for that day. This stag worked solo, man.
Don’t take this the wrong way though – this is not a flame and shame post. We just wanted to share some of these hilariously bad photos with everyone, so sorry ar if your unglam face is in this.
Last points:
– I sumpah/swear I never do any extra edits to the photos. Everything here (colour, lighting, cropping etc) is “as is” from the DVD the bridal shop gave us.
– Bride-to-be friends: If you want to know the deets (bridal shop/photographer’s name etc), let me know in private and I will point you away from them.
– Wedding guests: If you have any nice (don’t worry, our “pro” photog here set the bar quite low) photos, please share them with us through Whatsapp, Dropbox etc!
Enjoy the photos!
Not sure many people would be as good-humoured about such a screw-up.
