From personal experience, i recommend putting in your contract a time line for getting your albums. Its been over a year since my wedding and we still dont have our albums. I have had a son and moved in the time since our wedding and was told that my albums still won't be ready for another 8 weeks. I even paid up front, as requested by the photographer, back in April 2008 when I got married. dont get me wrong, the photographer was great to work and did a beautiful job with the pictures, but just feel a bit dissapointed about how long this process has taken. My husband and I are very patient, but feel at this point, no one even cares to see our wedding pictures anymore. They only want to see pictures of the baby
