Seald with Love Photography
We did NOT book this vendor. We first contacted Christina after attending a wedding fair. She offered us a great deal and we were seriously considering her. She OFFERED a free e-pic session so we could "see her work." We were a bit hesitant to book based on the pics from her site so we agreed. The shoot went great and we actually really like Christina. The sneak peek we received was good and we liked most of the pics. After the shoot, we met with one last photographer. We wanted to see that rest of the e-pic shoot before making a descision and Christina said to give her a couple of weeks. She asked for my mailing address and we waited and waited. We waited a month and nothing so we just made our descision sans photos. We ended up not booking her and emailed that we were still interested in the pics she had said we would be getting. We even offered to pay. She replied via email saying for $250 (a supposed 65% discount, we could have the disc).
The original wedding package she offered us was $1100 for all day coverage, bridals, and epics so I find it hard to believe that $250 is a discounted price for her epic shoots. While we are willing to pay something for the photos, we are not about to fork over $250 for photos that were supposedly FREE!
Let me add, I know that we didn't end up booking with her, but we offered to pay her for the pics anyways. I feel she is being unreasonable due to the fact that we didn't book. Vendors should not OFFER free pictures (with no stipulation of book or pay a hefty fee for them) if they aren't willing to deliver.
I am super disappointed that we won't be seeing the picutres that we took and we will now also not be recommending her or using her for other pics in the future.
Best of luck to you and yours!
