Getting really twitchy waiting for wedding pics...

So my wedding was a little over 8 weeks ago and I don't have my pics back yet. My contract does say 10-12 weeks and I know it's peak wedding season and my photogs do all their own editing and post-processing in house, but I am going bonkers waiting for them. I don't want to bother them before the 10-12 week mark, but I am so jealous of those who get theirs back in less than a month! People (and several of my other vendors) keep asking me for them as well! I shouldn't ask about them before the 10-12 week mark, right?

Re: Getting really twitchy waiting for wedding pics...

  • I was supposed to get a sneak peek on the blog yesterday (my wedding was 3 weeks ago) and they haven't been posted. And I am also getting antsy!! I know how you feel :)

  • I can't imagine having to wait that long for photos. We got our batch of 400 about 10 or 12 days after the wedding, and she had a small number up on her website and Facebook (for sharing) right after that.

  • Yeah, don't ask until at least the 10 week mark... I know it is rough. We had our pictures about two weeks after the wedding (major perk of a winter wedding in Ohio) and after I got back from the honeymoon every time my phone made a sound I was compulsively checking to see if it was a link to our pictures. lol

  • I wouldn't email about it until after the 10-12 week mark is over, to be honest. If your photographer is very busy and it's wedding season, I imagine she is probably swamped and emails would just slow her down.

  • When I was shopping for photogs the 10-12 weeks didn't jump out at me (I had no idea how long they were supposed to take), but I probably wouldn't have chosen a different photog just for that reason.  I know I need to just chill because this is what I agreed to...ugh...
  • You must be my twin - it's been 8 weeks for us and we also have a few more to go. I was doing pretty well waiting but people keep asking and being surprised we don't have them back yet. I've had to make do with the 4 photos friends posted after the fact and those just aren't cutting it anymore!
  • Oh man, I feel for ya! Our contract said 4 - 6 weeks, but she had them (all 585) back to us in just under 3 so we lucked out BIG time. I was already itchy by week 2, so I can't imagine waiting 10+. Sending patient vibes your way (...and speedy vibes your photogs way)!

    Right?  I did some research on how long photography post-processing takes to make myself feel better.  
  • Yeah, definitely frustrating. I would be getting crazy antsy too if I were you!

  • I got married the same weekend as you (June 14) and I had a preview 2-3 days after our wedding.  I had all the pictures 2 weeks later. Now most were not edited, but many of them didn't need to be.  Our photographer took over 1700 pictures, so some are duds, but that guaranteed that one of the shots of each pose was good. 

    I already have my wedding album made, and gave our parents their albums. 

    However, if you have a lot of editing being done, than that would obviously take longer.

  • It's been 3 weeks and 4 days since I got married, but I'm like come on where's my Facebook preview pics?! My photographer emailed me last week and said "they're all ready, let's set up a meeting to choose album layout!"

    So where the hell are my preview pics? I'm DYING over here!!!
