Hi! So I am new here, and I am already married, but this seemed like the right place to ask.
Background: My photog showed up to the wedding in a very bad mood. I couldn't figure out why. I paid her in advance and I tipped her at the end of the night. Any ways, she started yelling at my bridal party and pushing me (I literally mean "pushing") into the position that she wanted me to be in for the picture.She even refused to listen to me when I mentioned that I didn't want two of the bridesmaids flowers on my train for one of the shots, but she did it anyways. I brushed it off thinking that it would just be one less picture I would use.
Then she tells me that she didn't want to do my destination photos any more because she was afraid that we wouldn't have enough time. We still had two hours before cocktail hour and the destination was only 5 min from the church and to the reception site. She told me that if we chose to go that she would have no part in it. I was very upset. We ended up just waiting around for the cocktail hour to start and she took random and cheesy photos.
Ok! So, now I just got my CDs with all the photos on them and they are all messed up. She placed CD stickers on them, but they are so off center that the disks can't be read. I fixed one by peeling the sticker off and another by cutting the sticker off along the edge.
I asked my photog if she could redo two of the disks.I just don't feel I should have to put forth this much effort to view the photos that I paid for. She replied with "I have never had this happen to me before! If you go out and get a 16 GB flash drive, I will just put them all on there. Just mail it to me at [address]."
This flash drive she wants me to get is pretty expensive, though I did find one for $20 but it had poor reviews. I just don't want to pay more than I already did for a flash drive and shipping. (Plus tip I paid $900 for the photog)
How do I tell her that I am just going to fix my CDs myself and she can just shove it and I will just be on my marry way? I want to be polite, but I want her to understand how rude she was, too. What do you all think of this?
