Wedding Photographer Advice (Prof photographer advice please)

Hi, I’m not a professional photographer but I got frustrated with your story. That photographer maybe good but not so good with the attitude. He keeps on saying promises to you and you guys expect and wait. It’s very sad that wedding pictures supposed to be the most memorable item on wedding but you are now getting so worried that the photographer you hired didn’t understand that. I think for now, keep trying to contact him and ask him AGAIN of when all the pictures will be uploaded.

Hi Laurajfive,

I am sorry to hear of your situation with your photographer. Did you have a written contract and if so where there any conditons and timescales mentioned as to when the proofs/ online images will be available for you?

I do find this as unnecceptable delay, especialy it has been contradicted in his emails, as you say.

I would now write a firm, business-like letter, and send it by Special Delivery (forget Recorded mail as it's not guranteed) and it may cost you about £5.00. In your letter you should be requiring that your choice of images be delivered (by whichever media you ordered) in full within 14 days of signature of the recept of your letter. If you ordered a storybook type of album or similar, request a realistict timescale from him. If this is not done so then you will seek necessary legal advice.

If he claimed to belong to a society or organisation on his literature or advertising, mention it that you will also contact them for advise. The decent societies or organisations usually, have a service for this kind of thing.

Hope this helps.

Hi Laura

I am not sure if you have got this sorted yet. I am a wedding photographer and unfortunatly its people like your photographer that give us a bad name. I have to agree with what Bob said in an earlier post. I know how fustrating it must be for you but keep persaviring. At the end of the day you have paid for his service so you have every right to get it. I think you have givin him plenty of chances so now its time to seek legal advice!

Good Luck and hope its all sorted soon

FWIW, I had exchanges with the original poster last year and supplied her with some relevant detail on this particular photographer. This should have helped her to move her problem along a little.

I naturally won't post this in open forum though.

Now that time has passed.. tell us what happened!

I would have definately gone legal with him,, especially if you had a contract.. didnt you?

I made a special contract with my photographer to give me all the photos on a CD, and I asked for ALL the photos,, (not only his best ones).

I had him sign it, so I got it all... then again I am a thorough person!

let us know what happened!

This is a very bad service...

And its hard to find an easy way.

Maybe you can go for a legal action, but then it can cause you a lot of time and it's definitely a waste of money..
