how would you handle this...
so my wedding was BEAUTIFUL and i was lucky to only have to deal with a few minor annoyances on the day of---no major problems.
one thing that happened though had to do with my photographer. its not stated in my contract, but i was told in an email and in person that my photographer would have a lighting assistant. i didnt realize until halfway through formal pics that my photographer did not have an assistant! now, i didnt ask him why at this point, bc it was a little too late, but i feel like i should have been told why he came solo. at one point while he was juggling his equippment on his knees and trying to fix my train i say 'where's your assistant when you need her?' but he just tells me that hes doing OK on his own or something like that.
but here i am thinking about how the aquarium isnt the brightest place and a lighting assistant would have been helpful. that i had a big BP and big family and a second person there to help get people positioned would have beeb great, considering my photographer kept making jokes about how noone was listening to him. i hope that when i get my proofs that my veil isnt in a stupid position and my train looks good bc these are things the assistant would have taking care of.
so anyways, i still loved our photographer, but i just hope that we cant tell in the proofs that an assistant would have made them that much better, ya know? also i paid for the assistants dinner which cost $80.
i will talk to my photographer about it when we pick up our proofs, but what do you think is fair to ask for? more pics in our album, etc?
thanks! ~lacey
