UPDATED...Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

Yesterday FH and I were driving past Verdi's in Westbury. FH noticed all the beautiful limos outside and the HUMV Stretch in particular prompted his suggestion that we go take a look. Well, we did just that and also ended-up going inside to take a peak at what else was going on. (It was a bridal show.)

Anyway, I stopped by one photographer table in particular to admire the photos and the MEAN Ol' MAN asked me if I was looking for one. I nicely told him no and that I was getting married in a few weeks but was just admiring the pretty photographs. He replied: 'Who did you book?' I told him VIP studios. Then, (THE AUDACITY) he made a sour face, sarcastically said GOOD LUCK, and immediately turned his back to me. I admit, for a second I began to give thought to his assanine(sp?) reaction nut then blew it off. I realize that that idiot and his business will never prosper with an attitude like that. Besides, FH and I have every confidence in our photographer of choice. In part thanks to you ladies that have posted review on them. Nonetheless, not what I need weeks before the big day. UNBELIEVABLE some people!!!

Sorry so lengthy !
If anyone wants a name forum me.

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

Seems to me that he was very GRUMPY. Don't let him get to you. I'm sure he was just upset because he wasn't getting anyone interested in their photographer. By his attitude,its no surprise.

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

he was probably just trying to make you nervous. the nerve. he was probably mad because you booked someone else. its business competition.

Dont let him bother you.

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

What a grouch! He's probably just jealous because he doesn't get a lot of business because of his nasty attitude!

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

WHOA!!!!!!!! Ladies, I definitely have his info at home and after thinking about it some more, I WILL reveal him tonight!. Just so you all don't worry though, the photographers office is in Baldwin and the name is something like 'Solit...' something. I'm not a 100% but as soon as I reach home, I'll confirm it for you all.

As always, thanks for your support and all the forums!!

April.., I hadn't seen KimmieG's post. Thanks for bumping. Imagine if it is the same nasty man?!

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!

He's just upset that he is losing his business to VIP which I am sure is happening quite often with his great work and even better prices!

Jerk.

Re: Mean, Mean, Mean, PHOTOGRAPHER!!!! Updated

Sorry for the delay ladies.

THE RUDEST PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO:

SOLLITTO BROTHERS PHOTOGRAPHY. They are located in Baldwin of Nassau County. I try to be a kind person and wish no evil on anyone even when they aren't kind to me. BUT, I will say that I believe firmly in what goes around comes around and I trust that Mr. Solitto (or whomever he was) will have some tough times ahead of him for being so unnecessarily ill spirited.

Thanks for all your support. After I posted, I felt a world of better!
