I'm so upset

It is starting to seem like I am never going to see my wedding photos. I can't believe this. I've come to terms with the fact that I have paid for some things that I am not going to get, but this I cannot handle. My proofs are sitting in a lab finished, but I can't have them until some lawyer, who doesn't seem to care less, finally allows them to be released. Seeing as we were promised the release 3 weeks ago, I'm not holding my breath anymore. I call the laywer everyday. My father calls the layer everyday. We both leave messages. We must have left nearly 50 messages combined in the last 3 weeks. Guess what? Nobody ever calls back. We call the lab every few days only to hear the same thing everytime 'The release will be here any day.' We just have no idea anymore when & even if I'm going to get those proofs

We honestly busted our a$$es to pay for the wedding. We paid for every dime by ourselves & I worked so hard planning, like all brides do. It's just so unfair that I can't have the pictures, the memories, of that day. I'm sitting here trying to make thank yous out of non-pro pics. Fortunately, a friend of my parents followed the photographer around when we did our formal shots & he took pictures of every pose. He blew some up for us & put together an album that his daughters gave us at the reception. I'm so thankful to have those beautiful pics, but it's not the same. There are so many moments from that day that I know the photographer captured that I don't have any pics of. I know the important thing is that I am married & that we had a wonderful day.

I am so sorry to vent on here, but I'm sure you ladies can understand that I feel totally and completely heartbroken.

I am Sorry Honey.

Prayers are coming your way also.

I really Hope things get resolved Really Soon.

I am so sorry that you are going through this!! What exactly happened that you need a lawyer to release the pics? I will say tons of prayers that you get your pictures!!

I'd be so upset too! I really hope this gets resolved soon for you!!!

Why does a lawyer need to sign a release?

Her photographer went out of business and sold the pics to a lab. I beleive that is why the lawyer is involved.

Don't worry honey, you will get your proofs. Some girls don't get their proofs for 2-3 months.. So you are still on schedule. Iam sure it seems like eons since you started this project with the lawyers. It will all work out, I'll pray that it is speedy!

Our photgraphy company went out of business. They left unfinished work with a lab to distribute. My pictures were never at that lab though because when the studio closed, my pictures were at a different lab being processed since it was a week after our wedding. Now the lawyers for the bankruptcy suit won't allow that lab to release anything because of copyrights. They were supposed to be getting official release forms over 3 weeks ago, but the lawyers don't seem to care very much & they keep pushing it off.

I am lucky that at least it has only been a few weeks since the wedding. I'm hoping it doesn't go on too much longer. I just don't have much hope because this was all supposed to be over 3 weeks ago & now suddenly everyone I was speaking with has stopped answering the phone.

I'm sure it'll be a matter of time!!! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this sh*t!!

We are so sorry to hear about this. We hope that you will get your pictures really soon.
