Photographer help!!! please ladies i need your advice
So as many of you know i was married June 28th. I called for my pics 3 weeks later when i returned from my honeymoon to be told that proofs can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks. I called at 6 weeks and was told oh no it can take anywhere up to 8 weeks. Saturday is 8 weeks so i called to be told i need to wait another two weeks. I am really mad right now and skeptical about what is taking so long. What can i do? I flipped out on the guy on the phone telling him i know its not his fault but i am really disappointed and upset. Please help.

Try to FM other brides who used your photographer and see how long it took them to get their proofs.
If anything I would threaten to call the Better Business Bureau.

it might be that they normally do take 4-6 weeks but during the summer is when they are extremely busy bc there are so many weddings. So they probably have less free time to edit the pics, so dont get worried yet. Maybe email them and ask how come its taking longer than expected, is there something wrong you need to know about?

ITA. The summer hours are probably insane for wedding vendors... especially photogs. That is no excuse as to why you haven't gotten yours yet though. If your contract states 4-6 weeks, then 8 weeks is unacceptable. I'd def keep harassing them until they give you a good reason. And if they don't, maybe a BBB issue will light the fire under their butts!!! Sorry, I know how frustrating it must be!

I agree they are busy but i wish the first girl i talked to said 8-10 weeks so i didnt get excited only to be let down again. If i had known that from the beginning i would be fine but earing 4-6 then 6-8 then 8-10 is just bad business.

i would be disgusted as well. See what your contract says, & if they are over the alotted time, you may have 2 start threatening them. it sux that you would have to do this because they still have the product & could do what ever they like with it.

yeah they definitely should've looked at their schedule, see that its real busy right now and tell you at least that hopefully 4-6 weeks but bc of wedding season might be 8 weeks or more. It S*CKS to get you all excited to see them soon and then being told you have to wait another couple of weeks.

Hi, I remember you.
I know someone who used my photographer, got married in June, and didn't get her proofs until DECEMBER. Hang in there & stay on top of them.
You're the ranger fans right?

Did you ask your photographer if he can e-mail you the proofs so you can see how they came out?

Re: Photographer help!!! please ladies i need your advice
definitely contact the. read your contract & see what it says. i got married the same day & got my proofs in 4 weeks. Usually it takes 4-6 weeks. but by now you should have received them
