Wedding album ques -- flipped images?

Ok, so I'm married 5 years, but this is certainly a Newlywed question -- we just finally got our wedding album for our anniversary.

We looked at it last night and I am very disappointed with it. He or the lab flipped some of the images so they're reversed.

Not really a big deal to DH, but we spent SEVEN hours with the photographer trying to go through the 1500 proofs to be sure we told the "story" of the day accurately. The pics of me getting ready that were flipped don't bother me but the ones at the church show me on DH's left side while the ones that weren't flipped have me on the right. DH thinks I should be happy that we finally got it and just enjoy the photos for what they represent -- I'm annoyed because we spent $1400 on a family heirloom that isn't accurate. I'm even planning on calling the photog today to ask him what happened/why some of them were flipped.

Should I just get over it?

No, I don't think you should get over it. If this was previously discussed with them and having flipped images was not part of that discussion or mentioned than I would complain.

Thx.

We agreed to flipping SOME of them (ie portraits of us at a park, individual pics at the reception) but I remembered this morning we specifically said we wouldn't flip ANY at the church because the rings would be on the wrong hands.

I really liked my photog and his company but I feel like I could have spent 7 hours and $50 using Shutterfly or Costco to create this thing and it would be more accurate and pleasing.

Could be using that $1350 for SO many other things!

Re: Wedding album ques -- flipped images?

If I were you I would call and complain, or at least ask what happened, especially if you told the photographer that you didn't want the photos to be flipped. Maybe he could fix it, and if not, maybe he could at least offer you some money back. Could it be, though, since your wedding day was so long ago, that the photographer forgot that you requested not to have the photos flipped?

Re: Wedding album ques -- flipped images?

If you're really that bothered you could bring it up with the photog but in light of the fact that it's been so long (not that that justifies them screwing up, because it doesn't) I'd probably just let it slide unless it really messes up the picture.

I would talk to your photographer about it. Albums are a lot of money, and you're going to keep them forever, so why be disappointed!?
