...Ugly

The wedding photographer never asked me what style of photos I wanted, or any particular shots. When we got to review them on Thursday, out of the the 250 he supposedly took I only found 13 that I was willing to purchase from the wedding. And the only way I was allowed to buy them was in a package. The cheapest package they had was $500 for 30 - 5x7" & 6 - 8x10" pics. I was told I could not purchase individual photos and therefore I didn't purchase any. The photographer was nice enough on the morning of disembarkment to give me 5 photos that he'd printed and didn't charge me but those are the only photos I have right now. I'm really sad I didn't get more photos, but I wasn't going to pay for sh*tty photos. Most of them had a yellow tint to them or the white balance was so off you couldn't see the detailing on my gown. But I guess 5 pictures are better than nothing! I'm hoping that all our guests will post their pictures to our photo sharing site. The photographer friend we had go with us got some amazing shots so I should end up with some good ones later.

  • That's just ridiculous that they wouldn't let you buy individual pics! I'm sure between all the pics from your guests, especially the photographer friend you'll end up some gorgeous pics =)
  • Awww... sorry your pics didn't turn out like you had hoped. If you want, I will gladly play around with the ones you DO have and see if I can improve the contrast. Just let me know. Hopefully your friend got some great shots, though!
  • Ugh, that stinks.  Hopefully your guests will have some great pictures!!!
  • im so bummed that Im missed your LP, but Im glad that everything went well for the most part, except this photo BS. Seriously, why couldn't he let you buy some individuals from him. Since you ended up noy buying any, they could have at least made a profit on he 15 you wanted. talk about a stupid business decision, especially in this economy. Is your photographer friend going to be at your AHR? can they do pics then? Im sure ou will end up with a lot of pics from your family and friends that were there. Ours are still pouring in daily and Im amazed at ow many people actuyally took pics, im sure you will find the same situation.
