E pics turnaround time?

Jenna, on September 25, 2016 at 9:10 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

We took our engagement pictures 2 weeks ago. I haven't heard anything from the photographer yet, though of course I'm sure he's busy every weekend. How long is reasonable before getting antsy? We took our pics now because they were included in our package and I wanted us to "practice" being photographed closer to the wedding, but I'd like to see them before the wedding...

    I waited 2 months because my photog never emailed me to tell me they were done. I wish I had contacted her sooner. Don't think you're going to be a bother contact them...you're paying them so make them do their job!

    This needs to be discussed prior. Wedding photo turnaround time needs to be in the contract. For engagement photos, I try to deliver them in 7-10 days, never more than 2 weeks. And wedding photos my contract states 30 days. It's certainly not unreasonable to email him tomorrow and tell him you're excited to see the photos and ask if he has an ETA. (kindof a happy passive aggressive, lol)

    My photographer told me we would see the photos in 2 weeks after we were done shooting. Have you looked in your contract for specific turn around time regarding photos?

    Ours was around 2 weeks. I would reach out and nicely ask when you can expect them. I would also ask what the turn around time on your wedding photos will be so you know what to expect.

    Ours were done in a week-2 weeks I can't remember exactly. But she gave us that time frame so we would know when to be expecting them.

    We discussed this in advance and she told me three weeks - is it in your contract?

    We got a sneak peek the same day. In one week we had all edited pics. If we didn't, I would have asked that week when to expect them. I'd contact them and ask when. I don't think you'd be too pushy at all.

    Two weeks is my photographers turn around time in her contract. She had mine to me in 3 days.
