I was a Duet bride extremely happy with my proofs (my albums have been another story, but they're doing everything they can to rectify). I think to ensure you get what you want, you should put everything in writing and then talk to them face to face - repeatedly! Also, I was under the misconception that I wouldn't have to do anything on my wedding day except sit back and enjoy...but that wasn't the case. Because I had planned so much of it on my own, there was only me to make sure everything was running smootly. From limo to DJ to photographer.

Also, you should definitely choose locations for pictures BEFORE the day. Visit your hall at the time of day that you will be taking pics to figure out which site has the best lighting, etc.

Also, look for as many photos of your reception/photo site as possible to get ideas. We took pics in the wine cellar and some were a little dark, but I've seen other pics of the place since where the couple has been back lighted in the wine cellar--with a candle!!! Something I never would've thought of!!

Good luck! I think Duet take beautiful photos on the whole, but communication is definitely the key!!!

Also, it's important to remember that even professional photographers get very few 'great' pictures - 1 or 2 per roll of film!!! So the fact that anyone has 10 that they love is really great!

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. I've seen your pictures posted here. They came out beautiful.

THank you

I did the same thing when i watched the video and saw them taking photos of things i didn't have and they gave me the CDs to i found all of my photo's i was missing. Ask Erik for the disc. Good luck and tell me how it goes.

I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT. I WAS NOT A DUET BRIDE BUT I CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL. I WOULD CERTAINLY CONTACT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING!!
