Jennifer asks :

Hi Lucy, 

My husband didn't take one photo of me- the mother of the bride at her wedding. What does that say about our relationship? I am really hurt.

Chances are the professionals got some photos of you in the more staged shots that are commonplace on a wedding day.

There are probably pictures of you that other people snapped on the day too, so the likelihood is that you will have some images of you in your outfit on your daughter's special day.

Most of the time people let the photographer do the work rather than trying to capture images themselves, as they often don't compare in terms of quality.

Generally the focus is on the bride and the groom on their wedding day, so it may just be that it slipped his mind if he was concentrating on them.

It may not say anything about your relationship- it might have been a genuine mistake. With that said if you feel aggrieved that he didn't make the time to take any pictures of you then it might be worth telling him how it made you feel. There may be a simple and innocent explanation for what you deem to be a wrong move. If an apology is what you are looking for then he might be willing to offer you one if he's made aware of the impact it's had.

If this sort of situation arises again at another important event it might help to ask him to take a picture of you if it doesn't occur to him to take one without being prompted.
