First of all, I want to say that my husband and I love our wedding day.
It was so perfectly us. However, our wedding photography, Lovelei
Photography by Leianna Boenke, will forever be a thorn in our side.
It has been 15 months since our wedding. We
have yet to receive all of our wedding photographs. Leianna promised
multiple times to upload the photos, until she stopped responding
completely. There are so many photos from the day of that we never
received- photos that we took time away from our friends and family to
make. The largest group of missing photos are my husband's groomsmen
photos. Not one was ever uploaded. My husband will never enjoy his
groomsmen photos. For me, that is the worst part- knowing that I hired
this person who has so disappointed my husband. He was so excited to
have those memories with the men he treasures most, and unfortunately
there is almost no possibility that we will ever receive them.
Then
there are the photos that were never taken. Neither photographer was
there when I tossed my bouquet. I still have no idea where they were.
Later in the evening, both photographers' cameras died at the same
time. They did not have backup cameras or batteries, so there are no
photos during that time.
We have made
countless phone calls, sent countless emails, even hired lawyers. The
business has moved with no forwarding address. I want to make sure that
no other brides have to suffer this. Absolutely stay away from Leianna
Boenke and Lovelei Photography.
