OMs....how long did you wait for photos?

Hawk, 25 September, 2012 at 20:44 Posted on Planning 0 17

Our photographer sent through 5 the day after the wedding and said he'd work on them whilst we were away, we've had a link to a few more (low res and with his water mark on, so can't print) he says he has more editing etc to do. I do appreciate he is busy, so was just wondering how long others waited for their photos.

    We got married on the 29th July, had two weeks of honeymoon. The photographer was away for a week and we got them in the end about 4 weeks after.

    We had access to low res watermarked images (but all edited etc ready to see) 3 weeks after the wedding. I guess it depends how busy they are etc but didn't your contract give a timeframe?

    If it's quiet usually the couple wait no more than two weeks.

    A wedding at the end of August though may mean 4 weeks as there is a backlog of editing to do.

    We had a few high res edited images the day after (we were flying to Oz and I wanted to get some printed to take to my Dad).

    The rest took six weeks which is a bit longer than the average but my photographer had just had a baby not long before my wedding and informed me of the timescales in advance so I was happy.

    2 weeks for our disc to arrive, and our album is still being made somewhere.

    All photographers are different so there is no specific timescale that is quantifiable. Some want to spend more time in post production whilst some will release the images without any work done on them (even on the wedding night). The important thing is the timescale promised to you when booking and hopefully backed up in your contract.

    An email with a few (four or five) a few days after the wedding, and then they were all in the online gallery at about the four week point.

    Our TOG has said they have a turnaround of 3 weeks, but he chooses the photos for us. This doesn't bother me though as he also gives us a disc with every photo he's taken, so we will get them all anyway.

    Our online gallery was up within a week but the DVD of images will take up to 10 weeks apparently. They do have to be sent from Australia though!
