Frustrated and Annoyed (sorry so long)
I will try to make a long story short ...
I am just so entirely frustrated with my photography situation.
Here's what went wrong:
(keep in mind i was married over a year ago!)
1. didn't love proofs -- more of a problem of what pictures were not taken that what was taken.
2. thank you pictures came back horrible -- apparently i chose a 'bad' picture, because when reduced in size, the picture lost clarity (pictures are digital) - NO ONE told me this when i chose it, only afterwards.
---> problem was remedied by photographer making me beautiful thank you cards hallmark style.
3. after a long delay (lack of enthusiasm about pictures), we finally chose and ordered album pictures and enlargements.
---> enlargements came in shortly thereafter, however order was wrong, but again, problem remedied.
---> albums came in 2 1/2 mos. later than told they would come in. parents albums were beautiful. my album had 2 pictures that were so horribly out of focus i cant imagine this photog. would even want them associated with an album of his! had to leave album behind so pictures could be re-ordered (again, NO ONE informed me that these pictures would not work well with the effect we chose).
FINALLY, today, i get my album (sent to me, being the office is so far away). i'm loving it, until i see that the 8 candid shots we chose to be in b&w are really SO dark. i think im being picky so i dont say anything until my DH - who is NOT a complainer - comments how bad the b&w pictures look.
I AM SO ANNOYED AND FRUSTRATED. should i call up the photog. and ask that they re-do all these pictures, having to schlep it back to the office and wait even longer? or should i just s*ck it up and deal with it? i really just do not want to think about this anymore!!
argh! thanks to those of you that got through this whole pst and offer advice ... i dont normally post more than a sentence here and there but i figured no one could understand this feeling like the LIW newlyweds!!
