How long did it take to get your wedding photos back?

CoastalBride, on July 26, 2017 at 9:23 AM Posted in Married Life 0 38

We are now 2 months past our wedding and I do not have them in my hands yet and I am going a little crazy! lol I have had our wedding website for a couple of weeks now, but am still waiting for the actual digital files to be sent to me so we can post & print.

Just curious how long people usually have to wait. I'm hoping we will have ours within the next week.

    Depends on the photographer. Our contract said 6-8 weeks but she had them to us in 4 weeks.

    The contract didn't really specify. I should have them soon hopefully. I'm just trying to distract myself from being impatient right now. lol

    My wedding was the day after yours; May 21, 2017.

    Our contract said 2 months. We got our pictures exactly 2 months on the day: July 21, 2017.

    I was hoping to get a sneak peak but haven't received anything yet. Wedding was July 8. I emailed my photographer and he said he was working on them but leaving for vacation and would be in touch on the 30th. Try reaching out to your photographer and getting an eta.

    Our contract says 10-12 weeks. If your contract doesn't specify, then you should contact your photographer and just ask for an estimate of when they'll be ready.

    My wedding was July 8th as well, and we haven't seen a sneak peak either -- I am itching to see one! Our contract didn't specify a time and I want to be patient because our photographer has a ton of work she's doing.

    I guarantee 30 days, what does your contract say?

    I see, well...that needs to be in the contract, but as a consumer going in, you can't be expected to know everything, but that's not cool for them to operate without that.

    I'd encourage you to send a friendly email, asking for an ETA and that you are excited to see the story they captured.

    That's awful! I hope the contract says it will take that long. My wedding was Saturday and I had 7 sneak peaks on Sunday, and 6 more on Monday. My contract says 4-6 weeks, but she told me I would probably have them in around 2 weeks.

    My photographer gave us prints of a four photos on the day of, a sneak peek within a week, the larger preview about 3 weeks later and he said the full album should be ready around August 1. So about 5 weeks after the wedding.

    I was given a sneak peek within a couple of weeks but I won't get my pics back until the first week in August. Sigh...

    I'm surprised some people did not get a sneak peek. I would be dying without that. lol They sent me 12 beautiful photos really late the night of the wedding. And I really appreciated that!!

    My last contact with them was last Friday. If I don't hear anything today or tomorrow, I plan to contact them again.
