How long to get wedding photos back?

Brooke, on November 26, 2019 at 11:16 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5
Hi Everyone!
We were happily married on 9/14/2019 and our photographer posted about 5 or so "sneak peak" photos the night of the wedding. Since then, we haven't received anything from her. I have texted and emailed her with no response. I commented on one of her Facebook photos and she replied saying she's "almost done". It has been over a week now since that comment.

Our contract said 6-8 weeks and it has now been almost 11 weeks. I have been super patient but at this point I just want my photos!
*Side note I noticed that a wedding she did the week after mine got their photos back almost 2 weeks ago now.....
How long did your contract say it would take to get your photos back vs how long did it actually take? What would you guys do? Thanks in advance!

    Our contract said 6-8 weeks and we got them back in 7 weeks. If I were you I would e-mail her and say that per your contract they should have been delivered by x date and if you don’t have them by y (date you choose that’s very soon) you’ll need to take legal action.

    Our contract said 6-8 weeks and we got our full gallery back in 7 weeks. We received 5 sneak peeks the next day and a 70 photo sneak peek gallery 4 weeks after our wedding.

    I agree with Sarah! I would email her stating that it has been 11 weeks and you were told you would have them in 8 weeks. If you don't have them by X date you will take legal action. I would also call her and state the exact same thing. This way there is no way of her not getting the message. The email just leaves a paper trail! Good luck!

    I agree with PPs! Also, make sure you include this in any online reviews!

    Wow. Was it a ton of photos? It sounds like she’s neglecting her “duty”. Keep calling her and if she continues to ignore you, do something about it. We got out photos 2 weeks after our wedding. Our photographer was very on top of everything, we got married in the rain, she didn’t care she did everything she could. I hope your photographer gets on it.
