Re: one of my valima pics
OMG Woman!!
Why do you care what people think, the picture in itself is not the total disaster you are making out.
It may not have a stunning back drop with flowers etc, but you and your husband look good in it.
Take the picture to Boots and use their scanner and cut as much of the background from the picture as you can. Enlarge the pic and then buy a gorgeous frame, the picture will look stunning, trust me!
If the scanner won't let you cut much off cos of the proportion sizes, then go to some place like snappy snaps.
I don't mean to be nasty, but mashallah you are happily married, that is the most important thing! I know people who have spent thousands on their wedding only to be divorced within a year. Thank Allah you're not one of those girls.
I understand you want some professional portraits.
Book a session with a photographer and get some nice/natural family pictures taken, some with just you and your husband, others with your kids as a whole family.
My brother and sister in law did that. They've been married 7 years, they don't have any wedding pictures up, just the portrait shoot with them and the kids and other pictures taken on odd occasions like birthdays and holidays.
Finally... focus on the futre. Make memories from your life ahead.
PS: I'm really sorry, if I have said anything harsh, I don't mean to be nasty. I know you're not happy with your pics, but there's nothing you can do to rectify it, so look to the future and not behind.
