Photographer Issue - need advice

We got got our E-pics back. I posted one in a prior post, and there are a few more in my album.

But as I was looking through the pictures, I have realized that I don't really like them too much. There are maybe 7-10 useable pictures, and even those I don't feel are particularly interesting. I see all of these great pics of you ladies, your photogs doing interesting things, and ours were just covered in shadows, to the point where the entire series of FH and I outside at the start of the shoot are totally unusable and I couldn't even post those. It is 2 months before my wedding so I don't think I can start hunting for new photographers, plus I would lose a serious deposit. What should I do? This is a good photographer, lots of other brides on here loved their pics, but I am really disappointed. If these were the quality of my wedding pics I would be screaming at someone right now. Help!

Was this a complimentary shoot or did you pay for it? I wasn't too thrilled with our epics either but they were free so I didnt really mind too much, It wasnt so much the quality, it's just that they put us in 4 poses and thats it. I've seen my photogs work and love it so I wasnt concerned but I would have definitely said something if I paid for it.

Have you seen this photogs work before? Maybe you can let them know you're unhappy with how they came out

oh another question -- when you got back your e-pics, were they airbrushed? Did they play around with lighting to make it look better?

yes, mine were airbrushed, my face looked flawless, I was actually impressed but still wasn't thrilled with them...I think I was being over critical

Ours were 'free' (but given what we are paying for the package, how can I really call it free?).

Ours were not airbrushed. I look horrible (I tried to post the few decent ones in the album, and I wouldn't even say I like those either). I had actually had my b-pics earlier in the day and I looked great there. So it is really frustrating. Fedali took 3 hours worth of pics, and managed to airbrush a huge selection and send them to me a week faster than my e-pics, which weren't airbrushed and not very good.
