I hope this review is honest and helps others who are looking for a wedding photographer. We hired this couple knowing that they were new to the game. We agreed upon a very inexpensive price ($500) in order for them to build up their portfolio with the photos from our wedding. Included in that very inexpensive price was a full day of coverage and copies of all our images on CD/drive. I spoke with Samantha on the phone, looked at some of her samples from a previous wedding and signed a contract. Communication was fine before the wedding, although I didn't have many questions. Samantha and her team-mate, husband Chad, arrived to our wedding site promptly, at the agreed upon hour. They were wonderful the day of the wedding - friendly, engaging and very unobtrusive. We were very happy with their performance and couldn't wait to see our photos!
Over a month had passed and we hadn't heard anything. I thought I would just text Samantha to ask how things were going and to find out when we would get to see some of our photos. She did not respond. I sent an email, thinking that perhaps she didn't get the text - nothing. I sent another text 2 weeks later. No response. I sent two more emails and still did not hear back from her. At this point I was very upset and offended that I was being ignored. My husband finally managed to contact both her and her husband. They explained that they had lost our photos, but they were being recovered. A few days later (this is now 2 months after our wedding) we received a website with a sneak preview of a few of the photos. It took another month of cajoling and threatening for all of the photos to show up on the website and for the copies of the images to be delivered in the mail. After much aggravation and ignored attempts at communication, our photos were finally done in January. Many of the photos were pretty. She did send 2 canvas prints and 2 enlarged prints. I am very sad to say that I cannot recommend this ph
