Husband problem-Wedding photography

We've just got married and the whole thing had been a total nightmare. I've done virtually all the planning(though 90% of the cost was paid for by hubby) My husband has a brother who's a very experienced wedding photographer, but whom hubby also wanted as best man. My husbands brother has had a bad time of it lately so he thought it a good idea for him to do both roles and was told by a close family member that it "would break his heart" if he couldn't do both. I thought this was a terrible idea. When the photos arrived, despite a few good images, the quality was nowhere as near as good as I expected with a lot of the classic images missing and some bad quality shots I've now gone absolutly ape for days at my husband blaming him completly and have said the "marriage is deteriorating before our eyes". I've more or less demanded that he pay to get additional photos done and how he should have hired an external photographer but what makes me the most upset is that he took his brothers feelings over mine. I'm not sure I can forgive and forget until he pays for another photoshot. The photography was a wedding present but i'm so very upset.

Why has this Zombie thread been revived ?

Getting married is not about the wedding day. It is only a day, but a marriage is for a lifetime. Yabu.

Thank you all for cheering me up after a truly shit night with hardly any sleep Grin
And just in case this is real, OP YABU. Very U indeed. We've been married 13 years and looked at our not brilliant or proffesional photos maybe 3 times. They were done by a friend for free and with love. He captured a lot of our day perfectly ad we were given copies of other photos as well from family. iF this and you are for real then for the sake of the man you presumably love belt up or let him find someone who respects him.

Zombie thread? Bugger! Oh well, it gave me a laugh anyway... Wonder if they're still together?

Hade to comment? So you added three words? Yeah. Right.

Thank God you did Mug, you've changed my whole perspective on this.

If you haven't already create a wedding website? email all your guests asking them to add comments to the "guest book" section and ask them to add photos. Gettingmarried.co.uk is good and it's free, it gets put up for a year and you can buy a permanent copy of it.

If you haven't already then ask your BIL for the digital images and get them looking as good as possible with editing software.

All of this will give you something nice to go focus on and you can stop haranguing your new husband, he can't do time travel and was only trying to do the right thing....... A photo shoot might be nice but really do you need it?
