This happen to anyone else??

I feel like I need to share my story.  My pictures were taken bySteve Rouch Photography.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with our wedding photographer.  He was dishonest with us. There were several terrible things that this photographer has done to us let me just share a few.  We were promised a video in additional to some of our blown up pictures.  My photographer never took any footage and therefore we have no video..he is refusing to give any money back.  I was very unhappy with his work- it was so unprofessional and outdated.  I let him know that I was unhappy with the product and asked him if there was anything that he would do to make us a happy couple...he did not respond to me.  Really seems like the only thing he wanted was money.  On our wedding night he walked up to my husband who had done NO previous paperwork with him (everything was done by me).  The photographer said, your wife just signed this, we need you to sign it too.  My husband not in the right state of mind just signed the document and went on enjoying the night.  I did not sign anything from this photographer nor did he ever ask me.  The document said something about not being able to get your money back if you do not like the pictures.  He clearly lied to my husband just to try to protect himself and get his money. We are broken hearted one by the photos from our day, if that is not enough now we feel like we have been completely scammed.

    Sorry you had a bad experience. No need to post about it more than once though. I see you posted something similar about this photographer recently.

    No problem! I just meant that you should have posted this info along with your other post. Sometimes when people write multiple posts about the same exact thing, and don't post about much else, it tends to look like spam, and people start to get suspicious. Knotties hate spam, as I'm sure you know! LOL

    That really sucks!  I hope that family took some nice photos.  Sometimes those are the most candid and special.  I hope your wedding was special though and that you had an amazing wedding.  I think it is good to know about this kind of thing happening and warn others to really get to know their photographer and establish a relationship with them beforehand.  Pictures are important.

    Please be advised that posting the same thing more than once on this board or across many boards is considered spam.  I see that you've posted this all over a ton of boards over the past few weeks.  Technically, all of your posts re: this photographer should be deleted and your account banned for spamming, but I will let it slide. (I am feeling generous.)  Any more new threads, and they will be deleted.

    Feel free to post about other topics so we don't begin to think you're a photographer sabotaging another's reputation.  Thx

    Feel free to delete if you need to.  I didn't realize I had overposted.  I only put 3 threads on this out and 1 of them I didn't put what happened and I didn't know how to delete it so I just added a new one.  I am not another photographer.  I am bride that had a really terrible experience with a dishonest photographer and I do think that this is important for other brides to know because NO ONE should ever be treated like that.  Thanks for your support though!!
