Here's the quick version of why I'm frustrated with our photographer.
-she left an hour early. We paid her for 7 hrs which would be 2:30-9:30, she left at 8:30
-She sat inside looking out the window doing nothing while everyone was being seated so we have no pictures of that.
-I have only 1 picture of my dad walking me down the isle and we are both looking down, and it was a long isle being we were outside. I have 1 picture of each of the couples walking down. We have no pictures of Craig and I walking down afterwards.
-She totally checked out at the reception. She sat in the entry way and ate. Now I don't care if you eat but make sure you do your job as well. We have no picture of the head table. The only picture we have of people dancing are the anniversary dance. No pictures of us talkingwith our guests. Now if we had some of these I probably wouldn't care that she left early but we don't have them.
-The pictures we have she didn't touch up. My nose had been running and is bright red in the pictures with my parents. Very easy to touch up but not done. There's pictures of us under these pine trees where there's clumps of dirt on my train and again not touched up.
-We have no good picture of Craig and I close up. Yes, there's lots of very good artistic pictures but we are just missing some of the "traditional" ones. I don't have a picture where you can see my full dress. We have very few of the wedding party as she would take 1 picture of a pose and say perfect so someone always has eyes closed or a funny face.
Maybe I'm being too picky but we paid a lot of money for her and neither of us is happy with her. But there is nothing we can do, I only get to wear that dress one day and it's over. :) There are some very good artistic pictures but we are just missing those traditional ones.

I think that you have reason to be upset. The ones you are missing are your normal pictures. How poppy!!
I would be pissed too, sorry to hear about missing out on some of the important shots you wanted. The ones you do have are really fantastic though.
I would be upset, too. Photographers are expensive! I would aske her to touch them up, that's something that can still be fixed.
As for the other stuff that's missing, is there anywhere to review/comment on her work?
I wasn't that happy with my pictures initially, either...it wasn't the photographer's fault in my case, more the inlaws and stress, but I was still really upset about them. Now, 3 years later, I like them a lot better than I did at first.
You are totally not being picky. I would let her know that you are unhappy, give her examples, and why...put it in writing and request a price reduction and request touch-ups. It is the least she could do for not meeting your expectations and holding up her end of the agreement. Let us know how it turns out.
But I too agree with the Stephie that the pics posted are great.
I would be unhappy too. The pics you do have look awesome! Plus if it makes you feel any better after 5 years the pics will be in a box in the basement somewhere ;)
