Don't let your vendor bully you, no matter who they are or who recomended them!

This could be a long story but I will make it short.

FH works in Queens. On his block, in the same strip of stores is a photographer who has been there about 2 years.

As a courtesy, all people who lease space on this block disocunt services to each other to be hospitable and neighborly. Which is great, because there is a great variety of useful businesses between the 8 of them.

Photog brings his vehicles to my FH is a mechanic. The guy who owns the place where FH works always discounts service to photog, as well as everyone else. When FH and I got engaged photog offered services at a discount. He has great photos and also offers video. Without the discount he wants to give us, he is still affordable and in our budget.

Photog has an assistant is a real see you next tuesday. She has been nothing but foul to us and everythime we ask about packages or making changes, she reminds us about the discount being extended as a 'courtesy'.

This heiffer has bullied me for a year. I won't say what happened, but it cause FH and I to fight like we have never foght because this woman told me I was a b.i.t.c.h. and told him he was amicable in the same breath. He said nothing to her. He was in shock. I was furious because he didn't stand up and tell her not to talk to me like that.

So, we now are on the hunt for a new photog. We are considering Patken and cassarino as both of them are within our budget and both relatively priced the same. They both have our date available.

Tell me what you think about our choices!

I am only considering these 2 photogrpahers because they are house vendors for our RH and they both offer video as well.




ugh!

Way to go on not letting her bully you!

Honestly I went with one of Russo's house vendors and imo they are great (Tony Ferrari Photographers) - they have two locations one in Howard Beach and one in Astoria I think.

Also I think you can never go wrong with house vendors.

It s*cks that you even have to deal with this. I do not have personal experience with either, but I've seen Patken's work and it's awesome...i remember reading a few neg. things about the other so do a search before you book with them.

good luck!

I know you are only asking about these 2, but I am going to be annoying and probably useless but I suggest THOMAS PAUL. He's the man....don't think you only need house vendors either. All it means is that they pay a fee to be advertised through the hall for business.
