How long before you received your engagement pictures?

Ashley, on May 21, 2017 at 12:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 24

Hi everyone. Happy Sunday! FH and I took engagement pictures back in mid March. About 3 weeks later our photographers sent us the unedited ones and we were asked to select 25 of our favorites and they would edit them. Two days later we selected and sent in our favorites and were told we would receive an email when they were complete. Flash forward to today and we still haven't received our edited pictures back. I'm trying to be patient but am getting a little anxious. What kind of turn around time did you have on your engagement pictures?

    Wow.....I received about 75 edited photos back 2 weeks after we took our photos. I would definitely follow up with them.

    We took ours beginning of April and got a sneak peek 2 weeks later. I will be getting all of our edited photos within the next week.

    Thanks guys! I'm trying to be as patient as possible but it's about time for me to send out STD's and I would love to be able to have our engagement pictures back for them.

    Ours took 7 weeks to come back, but we took our pictures right in the middle of her busy wedding season, so we understood the delay.

    That is a long time. We received a sneak peek the day after and all the pictures a week after. I would contact them and ask. Maybe even their email got lost or they forgot to message you.

    That's too long...

    Our photographer said she will get ours back to us within 2 weeks (most reviews left for her said they got them back in less than a week!!), with all* of them edited

    *All the good ones she picks, which says can be anywhere from 30-100, but minimum guaranteed is 30! Which is plenty for me.

    It took under 2 weeks to receive our edited photos. Is this the same photographer doing your wedding? I'd be concerned. Pay close attention to your contract.

    We got our engagement pictures back in a week. Using the same photographer, I got my boudoir pictures back in 10 days (prom/grad time frame so she was busy). Our wedding photographer (wish we could use her, but it is in a different state) guarantees pictures within a month.

    It should say in your contract how long they have to edit

    I guarantee 2 weeks on engagement photos (around 25 retouches and no dirty files) and 30 days for wedding photos. During wedding season I may ask for an extra week.

    Our contract says one week, but the photographer has sent us samples within a day and is hoping to have them all back within 4 days. He also doesn't do much post-processing, though.
