Hi Ladies,
I apologize in advance for this partial rant, but I am also looking to see if anyone is in the same situation!
I was wondering if anyone else used Bellevue Productions (Bob Manning) for their wedding videographer and is currently waiting for their video.
I knew about his poor reputation when I hired him, but took the risk because his work is good and he spent a great deal of time talking to me prior to my wedding. Also couldn't beat the discount and I figured I could wait a little extra time for my video.
I am not surprised that it is now 5 months later and I do not have my video, however he has not been in touch in weeks, despite countless messages and emails. He now has an answering service taking his calls and it is impossible to even leave direct voicemails - this has been the last straw for me.
About 4 weeks ago, he finally gave us a date that we would have our video in our hands (not in the mail, but in our hands, he promised). Well that date was yesterday, and yesterday came and went without any video or even call from him. I am especially frustrated because I tried to take the high road with him and not yell at him, so he has no reason to not be returning calls. I can be aggressive, but know it won't pay off with him.
I'll stop there, but since he has made himself completely unreachable with all calls going to an answering service, I am wondering how any other brides might be handling the situation.
If nothing else, thanks for listening!
