African American Weddings

No Video and No Pro Pics

 My wedding was June 26, 2010.  As to this day, I still have no pro pics nor video. Each week I contacted the company because they said they put way longer than it takes to edit the video and pictures so that everything will be perfect.  Well, yesterday was Aug. 10 which is the latest date I was suppose to receive the items.  I even called Friday to see what time I needed to come yesterday.  Well I was suppose to get a call on Sat o Sun.  No call so I sent an email this morning saying that the email was the last correspondence from me as the contract stated Aug. 10.  I further stated that many that have gotten married since me and on the day of has received their pics and videos from other companies.  In the contract it states that if they can't hold their end of the bargain, deposit will be returned.  At this point, I have lost all hope and just want my money back. 

Strange enough though, I got a call from the owner today.  Usually I get no return calls.  He apologized and stated he was out of town and would be back tomorrow or the next day.  He said he doesn't do business like this.  I refused to answer my phone because I am adding to my paper trail.  I had to take the dress salon to the store and now it looks like I got to take him.  I refuse to pay the balance because the contract is no longer in agreement.  He didn't keep his end of the bargain and I just want my deposit of $1000 returned.  He can have the pics and video.  Just so frustrated and he does really goo work.

    Breathe hon...I understand wanting your deposit back, but before you just say forget the pictures really think about it...and if you believe in prayer, do that too.

    Show this man that you mean business, but think about what you will want to show your kids and grandkids somewhere down the line. You booked photo and video for a reason so at some point you wanted them. Just think it through is all I'm saying.

    I really, really hate that you are having to go through this.

    Thanks Eagles!  Yes I believe in prayer for sure!  I thank God even when things aren't going my way.  But the contract is null and void in my opinion and I am not willing to pay him the balance for probably something he gonna rush on.  I told him that I was disappointed and upset to say the least.  You just don't know how much I tried to be patient with all the lies and each time it is just that a LIE so no need to have false hope and think I will get it.  I feel something isn't right and he knows he was wrong or he would not of left that long apology on my voicemail.  Thanks though eagle.

    Aww...I'm hopelessly optimistic, but since you put it that way, I definitely understand. Maybe going through court will get you something. I'd just hate for you not to have any pictures. Let us know how this all pans out for you.

    See if you can get your stuff THEN, let them know that since you didnt get your pics in time per the contract, you will not be paying the balance.  There is nothing they can do at that point.  My best friend did that, and has her pictures and did not pay the balance, but her picture people waited over 3 years to return her pics to her!

    Omigoodness, Angela, that's terrible. I'm sorry you're having the worst luck with these wedding vendors and I hope you get your pictures and video back asap. I don't think you should have to pay the balance though since the vendor didn't hold up his end of the agreement.

    That's very frustrating and I'm sorry you're experiencing this!

    I agree with PP - get your pictures and your video.  You may regret it later.  Since he has lagged so much in holding up his end of the bargain, maybe you can get him to bump up your package (if possible) - maybe more albums, better quality albums, more detailed video production...?
