Weddingbee, this is how much I love you. I was going through all of my digital photos from my photographer, and I found some… not so nice pictures. Of course, I love candids, but some of these are weird and quirky… and not so pretty! But I will share them with you as a reminder, especially for you bride-to-bes, that the camera is ALWAYS watching every gross move you do. 
First off, here we are relaxing on the formal set. Our shoes are kicked off, there are petals everywhere… we’re just relaxing in our flip flops—I love it!
Oopsie! My flip flop is showing!
Here we are after the tossing of the petals, which we were only allowed to do if…
… we promised to pick them all up afterward! I love this action/behind the scenes shot.
I’m not sure what’s going on here…
Reception time! I’m not sure who was responsible for the cake toppers, but obviously they didn’t get that they were supposed to be holding hands! I think they were on the wrong side for most of the night, too. They said that Mr. Caramel’s topper kept falling over and that mine stood perfectly still all throughout the night!
Ok, now it’s time for the ugly faces!
Whatever it was, it must have been really funny!
I think I was not aware that there was some dirty dancing going on!
“Dance like it hurts a little”—these are my bridesmaids
Woah whoa WHOA!! What is going on here??
I’ll end with that picture.
Did any of you go through your pictures and find some surprising events?

Share this post: Not the Finest Moment
LOL!! Those are funny! I’m sure my photog will catch me in a flip flop shot too!
yes, yes I did!!!! those are awesome.
HILARIOUS!!!! loved the pics, i think its great to capture even the quarky moments!
LOL! I LOVE the picture of you all picking up the flowers Classic, it was all about the picture moment… I assume you wanted the flower toss picture and that is why you threw them 
hahaha! Some of those are hilarious! It’s the candid pictures that really make the day sometimes.
Ok…that one of all of you picking up the petals is amazing!! Absolutely perfect!! Now THAT’s the reality of a wedding!!!
I think every bee that is married should do a series like this!! It is so funny, and makes things real! I love it!
Wow looks like people had a great time at your wedding! I’m with everyone else…the shots of you picking up the petals are my faves!
Those are great!! Love it! The candids make the best shots and show what a real fun wedding is all about!
I don’t know that any of us can avoid such shots… thanks for sharing! Looks like everyone is having such a great time, even picking up petals.
I love those! You actually feel like you were there, not like it was posed with a bunch of clay models!!
I love these!!! The one of you laughing makes me want to laugh too!
Thanks for sharing those with us! I think that these shots can remind us that not every photo on our wedding day is going to be perfect (but they sure are going to be funny)!
These pictures are wonderful! I wish everyone did a candid post like this…it would be so funny.
omg mrs. c, i have some nasty pics from my photog too— there are some where i am making that “something must have been hilarious at the time”- squishy eyed, triple chinned face… hahhahhahaha…
I love the look on everyone’s face BEFORE picking up the petals LOL..And the one with the cake topper.
I love candids, even if they may not always be the most glamorous photos in the world. They just show such a different perspective of whatever they’ve captured. Thanks for sharing!
These are your “not my finest moment” shots? You still look amazing!
This was a fun post to view. Thanks for sharing!
your photos are so fun and i love the behind the scenes explanations you gave your cake toppers are too cute!
Great pictures - and I love the cake topper! That’s so funny that they’re not holding hands. Who made those for you, Mrs. Caramel?
These types of photos were some of the best that we collected! These photos are reminders that you should really promote getting your friends involved to take photos at all your events. Friends and family get reat candids from everything not just the wedding and reception.
We used http://www.seeyouthen.com but I’ve seen people using photosharing services and blank CD’s for this also.
LOL, the petal picking behind the scenes shot is PRICELESS! Love it! Your guests look like they had a blast.
i love “ugly” photos.
they end up being the photos you take a look at after so and so years, and say “Dang! That was some fun!”
I’m planning on making an album exclusively of the “ugly” photos we will have!
Thanks for letting me know I’m not totally insane for doing that!
We had a mini studio for guests to take pics (they could take pretty ones or incororate the fun props we brought in). One of my hubby’s aunts (by marriage) thought it would be oh so funny to take a couple shot with of his uncles that wasn’t her husband. She was actually quoted as saying she wanted to be scandalous and cause a stir when the pictures came back. Unfortuantely, I can’t keep his huge family straight and didn’t even notice the different pairing. So weird.
Thanks everyone! I’m glad you appreciate the un-formal-ness to these!
The personalized cake toppers are from here:
http://www.claymyfigure.com/
They did a pretty good job, but I think they are about $100-150? We decided to splurge on that because we’ll keep them forever!
Candids are the best!
Miss Caramel, where did you purchase your rose petals? From florist or online?
@pnk — our venue only allowed fake petals, so I got them online! The bags were really cheap, about $5 per bag! There are a lot of sites for this, such as:
http://www.wpetals.com/detail.aspx?ID=30
They can send you free samples so you can match the colors. Our petals almost matched perfectly with the bridesmaids’ dresses!
That’s why I asked..the petals totally match the BM dresses!
lol, these candids are awesome. they definitely add a new dimension to your wedding day!
I love those bridesmaid dresses! Where are they from and what is the color called? Thanks!
The dresses were Maggie London and I got them from Nordstroms! I forgot the color name, but here’s the link:
They’re $138 each.
Thanks so much!
