the photographer i want is not with the company i booked with anymore!!!
we had our e-pic yesterday and early on, i got the shock of my life when they told me that the photographer we originally booked was no longer with the company!!!
i'm pissed because they waited until yesterday, the day we were doing our e-pic, to tell us that!!! even then, they didn't actually tell me, the person who was doing my make-up just slipped!!! i was like, 'so, is ******* here?' and the make-up artist said 'oh, you'll have someone else. ******** is not with us anymore. your account rep will speak to you about after you get back from the session'. believe me when i say that 'SHOCKED' is an understatement!!! (sorry if i'm using a lot of '!') i just wanted to cry! good thing FI was there and he calmed me down.
since we were already there and we DID take off from work for that day, we gave the replacement guy a chance. we figured, there's a reason out there why ****** wasn't with us. i'm happy to say that we DID have chemistry with the photog all throughout the e-pic session. we were supposed to go to only 1 location but he sneaked in another site - we went to brooklyn bridge first and then central park. i could tell he was 'click-happy' and wasn't being cheap in taking shots. at the end of the session, we were told that he took about 700+ photos. he said he normally allocates 2 full cards for e-pic shoots. he had another one scheduled right after us and was carrying 4 cards - he ended up using another card just for us - so 3 cards all-in-all! (good for us, not sure if it's good for the next couple. hopefully he has extras somewhere!)
when FI & i got back to the photog office to talk about the sudden change, our rep was NOWHERE to be found and everyone was busy! we asked to see the replacement guy's portfolio and the samples were too few! granted that 3 of his shots were currently on display in their office window, but the samples were like 20 photos tops! and only 5 photo popped out for me. (i'm very picky with photos!). i also went through other photog's portfolio and nothing was popping out!![]()
i'm soooooo worried!!! they've arranged for us to come back in 10 days to see our e-pic photos and they will also prepare an extensive portfolio for the replacement guy. i'm hoping that he is really good!!!
right now, i'm VERY worried and actually feeling sick in my stomach. the MAIN reason why we booked with this company is because of that SPECIFIC photographer - he was the one who did all my friends/cousins weddings in the past and he is REALLY good. we booked wayyyyy in advance just to get their best photog and he's not there anymore! the paranoid side in me is saying, we'll get the last pick of their photogs list because all the senior photogs are booked! gawd. i'm getting teary-eyed here.
i know i don't know most of you 2010 gals here but can someone send some pixie dust my way or some hugs? i sure need a lot today.
