I am surprised that the photos you are choosing don't have any of you in it.

I would have had some of them with us in it, but my wife doesn't want it. These will be quite big though. We have a couple of scattered photos of us in the bedrooms though.

but it is weird to me that they are just places, and there is no personalized feel to it.

I agree! Though, because they are places we connect with as we were there at the time, it is not too bad for us. :)

They look really good, but they look like stock photos used in magazines or advertisements.

Yep. Again, this is what I didn't want... wife.
