The difference photography makes...

Behold: The I Do Dress, from ModCloth.

 

It's cute.  It's a wedding dress.  It's $895.

The description makes it sounds absolutely glorious, and I am sure it is, but it doesn't come through in these photos.

Earlier today I came across these images on the cherry blossom girl's blog.

 

 

 

These images are stunning.  They radiate elegance and beauty.  They simply ooze "wedding" to me.  They make me want to purchase something very expensive from Maria Lucia Hohan’s Atelier.  And they aren't even real product shots.

This, however, does not make me want to spend $895:

I'm not saying the dress isn't beautiful - I just don't think the photography does it justice.  What do you think?  Does the photography matter in this case?
