Solas Studios- Syracuse

MCTD31

Has anyone worked with these photographers? Their website looks nice and the price is right but I can't find any reviews....interested in hearing about some experiences with them, good or bad...

Ok, so you ignored my last post. Monica put it pretty nicely to someone a few minutes ago when she said "This is like an online party" You'd never walk up to someone at a party and just start pounding them with questions without introducing yourself and letting the people around you get to know a bit about you. Same goes here.

We can be some of the nicest and most informative people but we dont do well with people who just question hound without some info about you, your fi, your wedding, etc first.

I cant answer your questions until you have some respect for the people in this group and introduce yourself.

DondadaTimes2

Haha anytime!

Wow, Bridgett!!!  And I thought I was a big meanie!!!  lol.

Seriously, OP.... a "Hi my name is" goes a long way when you are looking for opinions/advice.  There are lots of nice girls on the board here... let us get to know you a little and the advice you get will be from friends- not strangers...

DondadaTimes2

I prefer to think of it as direct, not mean! Ok no youre right, I was being mean. Id be even more mean if she did that to me at a party IRL haha

kevinandmonica2011

I'm totally going to pay some stranger to badger you with 50 bazillion questions the next time I see you out.

I think you scared the OP away.  meanie. 

DondadaTimes2

You would!

And if she doesnt have a backbone, she doesnt belong here. Wouldnt be the first one who was scared off...

Ohh, I feel bad, come back MCTD31!  I haven't worked with those photographers, so I can't really help...

sbolger17

Ha, CNY is definitely mild; this is the only place where I will write anything somewhat controversial.  Learned that lesson the hard way!

DondadaTimes2

Dont feel bad! Its like a mild hazing! If you cant roll with the big dogs...you dont belong here. Plus! I think we're really mild compared to the rest of the boards. So if you cant hang with us, you'll drown in the big world!

MCTD31

Wow. I didn't know message boards were so serious, sorry to offend you. It certainly wasn't intentional. 

That being said...

I wasn't scared away, I'm just not plastered to my computer screen 24/7 to check up on what you have to say. Frankly I'm not looking to make friends, I'm trying to plan a wedding. I thought these boards would be a good resource but it seems the stereotype is true....brides are brutal. This isn't a party, it's the internet...I think it's great that you are so proud to be a "big dog" of an online message board, but I'm not looking to "hang" with anyone....just looking for an answer. I'll go elsewhere for that answer. I live my life in the real world, not on a computer. Very high school.

DondadaTimes2

Bye Bye!

kevinandmonica2011

GBCK.... good bye cruel knot. 

DondadaTimes2

Chit Monica! *slaps head* I thought this was a party! Now I have to get off my computer and join the "real world"


MCTD, Im sorry you arent looking to make friends. Is it because you think youre better than us? Maybe because you think you have enough? *News Flash* You can never have enough friends and I promise youre not better than us. Im sorry, but youre not welcome here. Best of luck with your wedding. I hope the friends you have are always around. Itd be sad if your friends peaced and you had no one else b/c you thought you had enough.

DondadaTimes2

And for the record, a handful of us are friends "in the real world". We met here and then met IRL and got to be pretty good friends. Its all a part of being human AND FRIENDLY. And as far as "brides are brutal" sweetheart, we're trying to make friends. Youre the one being all "I dont need you. Its all about me and my wedding" Sounds to me like youre the bridezilla. You also sound like the type of stuck up brat I wouldnt give the time of day to IRL. So shoo fly, youre a royal irritant.


Side note- I felt it necessary to keep writing as Little Miss "Im not glued to my comp and Im outta here" is still responding. I know youre reading this sweets.

kevinandmonica2011

Oh Bridgett.... now you're making us look mean. 

Seriously, though.... what I don't get is why someone would come on here, seeking advice and recommendations from total strangers for one of the most important days of their lives.... and blatantly point out that they don't give a crap about us, being nice, making friends, etc etc

I mean.... I would want to get rec's from people I actually (somewhat) know and trust.  I have learned a lot about the girls on here and I truly trust their advice. 

AND.... I would want to do the same in return for other brides, give advice, make recommendations, etc.  It's kind of a little selfish to just hop on here, post a question, expect to have everyone answer it, then ditch.  In order to keep this board going, we need to have people on here who care enough about other brides (like many of us do)... to stick around and keep posting advice/recs and playing games to make the days go by faster as we all count down toward our weddings

Then to snap at us like we're a bunch of snots b/c we chat on here (most of the time from work when we're bored).... hmm.... maybe I've got this all wrong.  I think we're a pretty friendly (usually) bunch... in the "real world" and in magical Knot computer land. 

OP- I hope you treat your "friends" in the "real world" much nicer.  It's a shame that you think you're too cool to chat with the girls on this board.  In the "real world" we're all pretty cool too.... good luck finding your rec's and answers if you keep this attitude up.

I dont mean to make everyone look mean...just myself. Aaaand, I didnt see it so much as mean but straight forward and to the point. I dont appreciate some snot getting on here telling me shes better than us and acting like she knows us. You dont know anything about me and to assume Im on here "24/7". Please. I enjoy talking to the girls on here when work gets slow, but I dont run home and jump right back on to talk.

But Monica said it perfect when she said we need people like us to stick around and be friendly in order to keep the site going. If us losers didnt stay and make friends, new brides would have no one to go to with their questions.
