Feeling a tad nervous about TOG's pics!

Gah I'll be emotionally enough having waved OH off for 6 months without more emotional batterings! ?

Hugs coming your way LM ?

Thanks - I'll be OK... I have a plan ?. Just been into the local little town and stocked up on champagne truffles and have ordered some cakepops too - some little treats to help! OH got me a bottle of Grey Goose in the airport coming back from honeymoon too, and so all will be good.

I can't believe how long it has taken for your pics. I understand that togs are busy and can have quite a few weddings in one month but my tog has told me that I will have a copy of the edited images within 2-3 days. He said he's so passionate about his work that he can't wait to start editing and to see our reaction once we have received them.

Fingers crossed that you don't have to wait much longer

LM would you like some company I love Grey Goose! ?

Just spoken to my TOG and it looks like it may be another couple of weeks for us too, which again, is fine - they'll be here, and they'll be fab, but in another few weeks. (wonder if the cake will keep?).

well its a great excuse to buy some more if it doesnt!

Only if you help me chose which pictures to go in the album ?

Why not ask for some "taster images" even if the whole set are not ready, it works for him - as it is promotional, gives goodwill and gives you peace of mind

It isn't as easy as that CWP, it takes time to select them, burn them to CD and/or resize them to email and it's not really something the tog should have to do.

Claire, the tog said ready on Wednesday. It's not bleedin Wednesday yet, you've no real reason to worry yet.

It's clear that a lot of B2B's don't have an understanding of what's involved. Most couples get married during the school holidays.

I had NINE all day weddings in August.

NINE

October I have 4

November I don't have any at all. 6-8 weeks is AVERAGE for most togs at this time of year.

This time of year is when most of the enquiries come in and when weddings are still going on.

Claire Lou, you got married 7 weeks ago just before the wedding season went bang, expect a delay.

Yes, good togs get excited about weddings and are eager to edit them to see your reaction but it doesn't mean we can edit the photos any quicker.

I think she know it's not Wednesday yet, she just wanted more contact from him initially, the original post said she's just worried now that she won't like them or they won't live up to her expectations. x

Chris are you being serious? This isnt the issue, the issue was that I had to chase him because I should have had the disc on the 3rs september it was only following on from my email on the 5 th September that I had sent him, sis he respond saying sorry he would have them ready for me Wednesday, I am fine with having the pictures tomorrow!

Chris I'm sorry but I don't think you have read Claire's posts properly. This thread is not about the fact that the photos are coming on Wednesday, it's about the fact that she's nervous about seeing them.

When asked, she stated that her photographer told her she would have the disc six weeks after the wedding which would have been the 3rd September. It was only when she emailed him on the 5th after hearing nothing that she was told she would receive them tomorrow.

She, and everyone else, is well aware it isn't Wednesday yet. She has not been frustrated about that aspect - she is frustrated with the lack of communication in the 8 weeks since her wedding and is nervous about what they'll be like. Understandable I think.

Do you realise how very patronising you are!!!! If you say somehting is going to done then try your best to do it, otherwise inform the client, simple as that!!

Chris you make me sound like such a bridezilla when it isnt the case, maybe you need to re read the posts because you've misinterpreted something along the way.

The thread went off original topic when she posted this:

'I know that he is editing the pictures and I know that this isnt a 2 min job and I know how busy he has been, with some weekend doing 3 weddings I appreciate all that, but as I said yesterday how long does it take to email a client to explain that there is a delay.'

The way she's coming across on this thread, by her replies is slightly Zilla. Why have a pop at AJ, when he was only trying to help.

Has she actually picked up the phone and asked spoken to the guy? Surely it's easier?

This is an obvious solution right?

Thanks KH! Im glad someone gets my drift!

Have you rung him up?

How incredibly rude Chris!!!! How the hell am I being bridezilla like, I only wanted communication so I knew!

and who is she! The cats mother!

I honestly don't see anything wrong with what she said there. In my working life if I am going to be two weeks late in delivering something, I would contact that person to let them know. As I hope you would?

As far as I'm aware, no one has had a pop at AJ but I may have missed something.

Her chosen method of communication is neither here nor there. If she has been communicating with her photographer via email throughout, it stands to reason she would continue to do so.

So lets put this in laymens terms, you are accusing me of being bridezilla, when first you missed my point, and secondly, I just exoected a bit of comunication from my tog, I have always said I appreciate how busy he is but he has time to tweet! for gods sake get down from your high horse and look at it from the point I am making not one you have invented! Why have you brought AJ into this!

I was responding to Kharv and you were the in the third person context dear.

It is important as to how she made contact. emails can end up in spam folders. This may all be a fuss about nothing.

As I said before extremely patronising! Havnt you got any editing to do!

Have you tried to phone him, he may not of received your email.

If he didn't he is not ignoring you is he?

Especially important as you only sent two emails.

I didn't take it as a pop, it was my mistake in the first place for confusing people's partners. For once... an argument I haven't started

I might want you to take me outside and shoot me in a minute though AJ

Pass me the gun and Ill do it!

I'm afraid my camera skills - and equipment - are nowhere near as good as yours are likely to be. I'm very much in the "point, click and hope" school of photography with a little compact camera that I could probably do with replacing about 2 years ago.

Clarelou, I really hope that you get your photos tomorrow after your waiting. If I was in your shoes I would be really anxious about getting them too, plus annoyed that they were late. I totally understand a lead time/waiting time for things in busy periods, but it doesn't mean I like them! I am sure that they will be beautiful whenever you get them though.

So, you haven't phoned him then.

Lol AJ, please stick around after your wedding. None of this signing off as a MR...

I just want to apologise for writing 'she' earlier it wasn't meant to be in a rude way.

No Chris and the reason I didnt is because as I have said a million times I understand he is busy, so by sending him an email he can answer when he has a spare 5 mins rather than ringing him when he could be in the middle of a shoot etc etc, I do have some consideration you know, and not as bridezilla as you first thought!
