I’m sure some of you saw my post last week about how my photographer hasn’t given us our photos yet from our October 7, 2017 wedding.

Well, it took threatening to sue her but we finally got them back. And I’ve never been so disappointed.

First, we are missing crucial moments. She did not take a picture of our first kiss as husband and wife. Not one.

She also didn’t take pictures of us exchanging rings, and we only have one picture walking back down the aisle after being pronounced husband and wife. Which was taken from the side with peoples heads in the way, not from the front. (Even though I have pictures from guests phones that clearly show her walking backwards in front of us taking pictures.)

We only have one picture of the whole wedding party that’s not taken from off to the side, even though we took pictures for 2 hours after the ceremony. (“She lost track of time!” Our guests probably hated us.)

All of the pictures with our families (parents, grandparents, nephew/daughter, siblings, etc.) are taken from off to the side instead of straight on. (I know we were looking at her and posing, so idk why we only have pics from way off to the side. These pics likely came from the second photographer, but idk why she would give us those and not the forward facing ones from her camera.)

A ton of pictures my eyes are shut or half shut from blinking and we have tons of pictures just of the backs of people’s heads. And most of the pictures from our ceremony have people’s heads blocking us.

Im just so upset and pissed about this whole situation. We have contacted her about all of this and we have yet to hear back. I really just needed to vent.

I attached some pictures below as examples. Tell me I’m not crazy.

    Our contract stated 90 BUSINESS days, which put us right at about February 15-20 (20th being the latest) for a due date, depending on what some people consider to be “actual” holidays. She never specified—her business hours on her Facebook business page (website has been down for months) state she is open 24 hours so I mean technically it should’ve been 3 months. But...

    I was thinking exactly this.

    I wouldn't threaten legal action because she seems like the type who'd delete all pictures on purpose after something like that. I'd just go ahead and do it and let her answer to the court.

    Ok....If its 90 business days and she’s only 3 weeks overdue....life happens, I wouldn’t expect a refund for that. But being shady and saying she delivered everything when she clearly did not isn’t cool. Do you have a USB coming or any other product? I would send her something like this:

    ”Hi Photographer -
    I was glad to see more of her images in the gallery this morning, however I still feel that we are missing some. Please just level with me here… do you need more time to edit, or did something happen to the card? Thinking that these were all the images we had when we clearly know we took others ( as most of the family images you sent us were taken from the side when we were obviously looking at the main camera), was devestating to my husband night over the weekend. While I understand that it is standard policy to not deliver every single image taken from the day, I politely ask that in light of the circumstances, we are given each and everyone. If you need more time to edit, please just be upfront with us about that. I would rather wait and have everything than a rush job with subpar images. I would also appreciate A gesture by you to compensate us for the misunderstanding, missing images, and late delivery. We were thinking a canvas or medium size album would be sufficient. Please understand how the missing images over the weekend put us into a panic.
    sincerely,
    bride & groom”
