read your story, feel sorry for you, because you are not happy with your wedding photo. but i think you two are kind of miscommunicated. like #10 & #11 are pretty normal. they want to keep the "natural" part. but seem like it is not what you want. yes, people should tell their team exactly what they wanted, never assume, because no 2nd round. you should ask them to touch up the pic to make it more perfect
usually the my makeup artist would come 2-3 hrs ahead, if she was only 15 minutes late, you should still have lot of time ar.
I have the same thought as tofu too .... but I don't want to get OP upset.
I feel sorry for you.
It sounds like you get a catch a moment type of photographer instead of a traditional photographer. And it's very common to give your wedding photographer a list of "photos to include" before head. So that they capture those you want.
I think it's a communication problem....
My friend hired a cacusian photographer team and their picture... are exactly like u described. And they love them. section of faces, (except jewlery and shoes and bouquet all had their own photos) very few photos have ppl standing still and smiling in their best way. And don't think there was any head to toe full gown shot with the bride in it neither. There was one with the back of the gown and her walking down... but not the front. winkled eyes and big open laughing mouths were frequently seen in their pictures too.
btw for the MUA, being 15 min shouldn't affect your schedule unless the rundown was too tight to begin with. my friend's MUA was half an hour late and everything still worked out fine.

I feel sorry for you too, and I understand why you would be upset. Cuz wedding day is one of the biggest thing in a girl's heart, at least to me it was back then when I got married. And I was very into details for everything as well. But try to think of it more positively, at least the wedding is over, you and your husband has a great time with all your family and friends, and the most important is you will have a happy future from now on. And like siu lek said, you can always look into some of the nice pictures your friends captured for you. cheer up and be happy!
Don't feel so upset la! At the end of the day, its a celebration and it's the wedding moments that counts.
When I got married, I specifically ordered my bouquet to be pink flowers and I said no white flowers in the bouquet. Then on my wedding day, the florist made me a bright red flower bouquet mixed with white flowers. I guess Red mixed with White = pink LOL. I was upset for a while... then I told myself just forget it. The important thing is I had a good time and I married a good husband.
