Wedding Photo TMIs
Well, hello, Monday! It’s still, yes, still Wedding Photography Week. Mainly because there are still lots of wedding photos and wedding photography tips I feel like sharing with you. As of next week, we’ll be back to the regularly scheduled programming here at Manolo for the Brides, in case you were starting to worry I’d gone snap happy.
To kick off the second week of all wedding photos, all the time – and don’t forget, you’re welcome to send in your wedding photos whether you’re a bride, groom, or photog – I wanted to talk a little bit about wedding photo TMIs. I’m not so much referring to sassy boudoir photography in the bridal chamber, but more to pictures like this:

Lest you think brides are having all the wedding photo TMI, grooms and their groomsmen sometimes get in on the action:

Whether or not you decide to let your wedding photographer take any TMI wedding photos is up to you – maybe you say no way, maybe you have some taken and keep them in a non-public album, or maybe you proudly show off your bride on the toilet pics and don’t care who sees them. Whatever the case, make sure your wedding photographer knows your preferences with regard to these kinds of photos AHEAD OF TIME. It’s totally normal and okay to say things like “Please don’t shoot until I’m dressed” and “Please don’t follow us into the bathroom” and “I’d rather none of my wedding photos be embarrassing so keep it clean there, dogg.”
Have you given your photog any particularly restrictions (or did you, once upon a time, for our post-wedding readership)?
OK, staged or not, these pictures involve letting someone else into a very personal space – one where I feel comfortable dropping trou, for instance! I’m gonna go with “@(#^)&%*& NO!” on these kinds of pics.
As for my own wedding, I didn’t give a lot of restrictions, but my photog was a co-worker, so she really just stuck to the basics. Until the camera broke, that is…
I know everyone loves this kind of thing but I personally think it’s kind of gross. Keep what’s private private, just because it’s your wedding day doesn’t mean that you need a picture of yourself peeing. Do you normally take pictures of yourself peeing???
hahaha! These are funny
I don’t think the picture of the bride having her dress laced up is in the same category as the others.
You’re probably right, Tizzy – but I’d wager that some brides wouldn’t be keen on a picture of boob adjustment appearing in their album. Or even among their photos! Everyone has different thresholds of comfort with these things.
