tinkerbell-rose Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm now left with wedding photos that i never asked for. with the excitement of the day i had no idea the photos being taken were total rubbish and totally the opposite of what i asked for. the best part about it the photographers shop shows amazing pic's in his shop window. 1 of the reasons i went with him. they were so beautiful and just what i was looking for. a few days later when my pictures were ready to be seen i could of cried when i saw them. they were nothing of what i asked for. totally the opposite. they all look fake and cheeeeeeeezzzzzie. they are OK in a way of just standard pictures but family members hav done better. i did complain but not allot you can do is there once your wedding is over. please be very careful do try and get someone who you know does great picture from others who have given him a reference. these are the photos that you will look at for the rest of your life and to be honest iv put mine away so i dont look at them. juts because they have amazing pictures on show doesn't always mean they always do amazing pictures. good luck with all your weddings xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omalley4241 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I had the same problem years ago, my photographer was drunk and chopped most of the tops of the heads off, managed to get a few nice ones but again not what I wanted. Hope this do not ruin the wedding xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHPhotograph Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It can be difficult sorting through the large number of people out there claiming to be Professional Wedding Photographers. I have a list of thirty questions to ask potential wedding photographers. The list is on my web site and can be downloaded as a pdf file. http://www.allenhudsonphotography.co.uk/weddings/ThirtyQuestions.html Let me know if you can think of any other questions.

Grandad.Malky Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 . these are the photos that you will look at for the rest of your life and to be honest iv put mine away so i dont look at them. More likely to get put in the loft to be brought out one in a blue moon we recently had ours out for our 25th anniversary, I cant remember the last time they were out before that.

Grandad.Malky Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 awww thats such a shame, We went the whole hog , we have a album, both sets of parents had a album and then there was a video and a picture put on canvas, they are cherished memories but you don’t want to be getting them out every time someone visits do you. I wouldn’t whittle too much about the photography to much, people always seem to find the quirky pic’s more interesting that the classic poses.,the little kid sticking his tongue out or your aunties OTT hat etc on 1 photo i have my adult bridesmaid pulling her face, looks like she has a face of thunder. surely a professional photographer wouldn't put that picture out for me to see. so just makes me wonder what the pictures looked like the 1s i didn't see if those were the type of 1s he put out. Didn’t he give you all the pic’s for you to decide what went in the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggie Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 We had a problem like this, when we went to visit our photgorapher I think he showed us pictures that weren't taken by him. He promised us reportage but we didn't get that at all. We really stuggled to find a nice picture of the two of us to have on the so called free canvas, there wasn't one picture of myself and the bridesmaids, there was pictures of the same people 5/6 times but then no pictures of other people, only one of me on my own, no pictures of me and my mum together, he wasted loads of time taking pictures of us with my veil over my husbands head as well but then didn't show us any of these. This was just a few of the problems we had. He was all about the jokey shots and that wasn't what we wanted. I just don't think he was very good really and after the wedding he just did not care at all. He knew I was upset but just ignored emails. We did manage to cobble together a nice album but with no help from him. To top it off somebody we knew had booked him before our wedding and he ruined theirs too and when they complained he just said 'oh well book us for your first wedding anniversary and we might get that right.'

I'm hoping to renew our vows in a few years and maybe get some decent 1s then. that's if I'm not to old. old and in a wedding dress isn't a good look lol. thanks for the replies. just want to make people think before choosing because it can be done without thinking really. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
