because FH does not feel right about paying in full the day of the wedding.
So I sent an em saying sorry that we need to cancel.
This is the response I get
Too bad, because I turn albums around faster than anyone else in the business. 1-2 weeks after you supply me with list of photos you get the design. 7-8 weeks after design is approved you get the albums. Most other places take 6 months to a year, and will require payment in full before albums are put into production. I can't and will not change requiring payment in full, because it's more important that I spend all my time and energy delivering the best photos and service, and not wasting time and energy trying to get people to pay. You'd be surprised how many people wait 6 months or more to give me a list of photos for their albums that are already paid for.
So far all the companys we met with do not require full payment the day of the wedding.
He seems to do great work I will not take that away from him

Re: Dan Wagner- I Canceled Appointment.........
Thats interesting, especially since he is a LIW vendor. I have never heard of something like that before. And I dont think it is true that most photogs take 6 months to a year to get your albums back so I wouldnt worry about that. Most will let you pay in full when you pick up your albums. You have to go with what you feel comfortable with. Good luck!

Re: Dan Wagner- I Canceled Appointment.........
There is no way I would ever pay in full before I get a final product...The email he sent sounded really snotty...After reading that email i wouldnt want to look at him for photo

Re: Dan Wagner- I Canceled Appointment.........
I could understand paying him for taking the photos and being with me for 10hours but if you need to design the album at a later date why would I need to pay in full without even seeing what the proofs look like?
