jen629

Chooch&friends

Brad is just really creepy

User, are you Brad's photographer?

USER876

No, I'm not even going to brad's wedding, and I'm not for hire.

So is Brad FI the celeb then? I dont understand what the big deal is about seeing someone pics. Honestly, most of us post pictures and even when I was LOOKING for some of you at a knottie g2g I didn't recognize most people right away. Even after seeing pictures day after day, I'd probably walk past most of you IRL not recognizing you from your pic.

USER876

A lot of people (even on here) don't post pictures and some people just don't want them floating around the internet for various reasons.

I <3 Seabass

The pics will be posted on the photographers blog/website whether or not he tells us who the photographer is. Her face and name will still be out there, so if that's really her concern then they should talk with the photographer and make sure he doesn't post them. Either way these pics haven't been taken yet and wont be taken for over a year. Plus there's not guarantee that their pics will even end up on the photographers site.But if they want to keep it private, fine that’s their choice. But he can't expect people to keep helping him when they don't feel like their getting anything out of it

I dont get it, my FI doesnt want all our info on the web, and asked me not to tell people certain information, so I respect her wishes and dont do it.  She didnt even want anyone on here knowing our wedding date or reception hall.  She doesnt facebook or anything like that.  I am not going to go against her wishes to please the knottie gods.  I would think that you would just respect it, as I am and move on.  Would you give out information over the internet to us that your FI specifically told you not to? 

USER876

Most of the people helping him already have a photographer....so whats the issue?

brad1431

exactly user, it doesnt make sense, they are just trying to pressure me to tell them something.  I am not going to disrespect my FI to make them happy

jen629

I personally dont care about seeing your pic and I also really dont care about your photographer because my wedding is over but my point is you ask weekly about recommendations dont like any of the answers you get,rag on other peoples choices ,, you called me out about my scoring of MY vendors which I WAS willing to share to help people out and then wonder why people are on your case ..come on

DMLJ

I just don't get that "Paranoid" way of living. Of course, I'm not going to share with you my ss or cc numbers, but I have come on here to connect with other brides and people planning weddings. Part of making connections in life includes sharing information about yourself as well. Its a funny "relationship" that you having with people online--- clearly not as personal and close as RL relationships, but it is relationship none the less. ALL relationships are two way streets- i share something about me and my life and you share something. I think this is what most people are complaining about. Because of these relationships I can be walking down the street and tell my FI about the girls getting married that day, or mention the name of someone getting married at a specific venue... and even though many of us have never met eachother, we can feel connected because that person has shared an aspect of their life with me that I can relate to.

He is actually making fun of other's weddings, when he is having a freaking "fire show" at his wedding?Seriously brad, climb off your highhorse.  Plus, the elephant rides during my cocktail hour will totally TOP your fireshow. 

I <3 Seabass

The issue is that you ask 101 questions about vendors and people reply to you and try and help you. Then when they ask you a simple follow up question you wont tell them. Fine, that's your right. No one wants you to disrespect your FI. But at the same time, you have to understand that people are not going to want to help you any more when they literally get nothing out of it.

brad1431

Jen, I dont call people out about reviews, I value the review, but if you took your time to pick a professional, you should expect them to do an unbelieveable job.  An A+ is absolute perfection, going way above and beyond expectations, for a venue for example to get an A+, they better not make one single mistake, give second dinner portions, give you extra time, extra food to take home, not fish for tips, give free upgrades,  etc.  People here think meeting expectations deserves an A.  That is my point.  It is about expectations, if all your vendors got A's you must have expected little from them, that is my perception, so a review will all A's doesnt really help cause it doesnt seem objective.

Honestly how many posts did we have to see from brad about his photographer and all his rude comments. And for what if we aren't going to know who he finally booked? Its just so childish. If your FI really is so private than why are you on a public site that is all about sharing your wedding details. And if I am correct someone paged Brad about who he booked and his response was that they had two left and he would tell once they officially booked them.

wpsmall

If a vendor gets all As why can't it be that they did a good job and not that you have little expectations?

brad1431

how do they get nothing out of it, I thank people when they give me recommendations, but how does it affect you who I choose?  How does it change YOUR life, who I hire? I appreciate all your help and reveiws, but I reserve the right to keep some things private.  And stop with the stupid give and take, I give lots to this board, it would be dead if I wasnt here.  Just cause I didnt tell you who I booked doesnt mean I dont give.....

jen629

Brad I didnt give everyone A's and I would really hope I was expecting to ...with that being said I hope it least HELPED someone to make a decision or inguire more about a vendor than to not know...I valued the MG's opinions before I got married as they had been there and now as a MG I hope I can help someone..

DMLJ

This is making me feel bad for Brad's FI..... he TAKES something from someone else and we should be happy because he says Thank you instead of contributing and giving something in return. With that kind of attitude.. he can't be too good in the bedroom

cvl105

 it would be dead if I wasnt here.Hardly Brad...at least you don't have self esteem issues.

"A" vendor can be, the chance that all of them were absoutely perfect is unlikely.  Especially when I read things like limo was 15 minutes late, but other than that he was great A+, uh no, being late is the worst possible thing, just that gets you at best a C or D. An "A" is meaningless if everyone gets one.  And an A should be going above and beyond, not just standard.  Like I said if your reception get an A+, that is no mistakes, extra dinner portions, extra time for free, food to take home, free upgrades, etc...  If an "A" is used all the time, it loses meaning and value.  There is nothing wrong with saying I loved my photographer he did everything we wanted and more, he gets a B for a good job, but for an A I would have liked him to XXX more things for us or give us XX upgrade for free.

jen629

Wow Brad I would really hate to be any of your vendors .....

DMLJ

I guess I live my life on the edge then.......

JeannineG122

Some of us work in the public.  I've seen too many people get in trouble for "online" behavior

I <3 Seabass

I doesn't impact my life in the slightest knowing who you booked and I never said it did. It really it pointless trying to discuss this with you. Just like you reserve the right to not say who you booked, people reserve the right not to help you any further. People have explained to you their reasons why and whether you choose to understand and accept what people have said it also your right.

Brad...I have to go back to the point that someone else made (I cannot remember who it was though).  They said that their are a lot of girls on this board with on a limited budget (especially with photographer) that might want to know who you are using. Considering everything that you wanted in your package and I would assume you got for the price you wanted.  I just don't get what the big deal is to share who your photographer or anything else for that matter.  I will tell you who I used and their are a lot of girls on this site that used or are using my photographer.  Do you really think that in a year from now people are going to be stalking your photographer's website just to get a glimpse of Brad and his FI (DW by that time)?
