Last night received a phone call from our photographer. She told me she was about to send us the link to our complete gallery of pictures but she needed to tell us something beforehand.
one of the storage cards she used at our wedding failed and she basically lost all the pictures she took with that camera. Luckily it wasn't the main camera but there are still some pictures missing that I'm really gutted about.
We did a confetti shot. Lost all of the pictures from it.
She took some pics of my parents and me at the hotel before the ceremony. All gone.
All portraits she took of my hubby and me in one spot seem gone.
There is no picture of my hubby's aunt when she did her reading but three of my mum doing hers and no picture of our first kiss as husband and wife. I'll ask her about those to make sure she didn't just not send those over.
I think the confetti pics may have been the only ones we took of all guests together (there were only 10 guests) but basically we also do not have any pic of everyone together.
She also took some detail shots of our stationary and we only have a few of those, but none of the inside of the invitation and none of the order of ceremony. She mentioned she could re-shoot those, I think I might pick her up on this.
Don't get me wrong, we do have 300+ pics (of a half day) of our wedding and if anyone looked at them they might not realise any are missing. And our pictures are absolutely stunning. I suppose we are lucky that we do have our whole wedding "covered" and that it was the card in her second camera, not the main one.
She said she sent it off to three different companies to have the pictures recovered but they weren't able to so they are definitely lost. She has offered to give us a discount on an album if we decide to order one (which we were considering doing).
I should be happy because we have so many beautiful pictures of our wedding but I am too upset about the pictures we don't have.
Ugh! She said this is the first time this has ever happened to her. I am just so mad with ... The universe I guess. I can't believe this has happened to us, it's so unfair! But yeah, I know it could have been so much worse, but also it could have been so much better, you know?
i think I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for reading if you're still reading.
