Hey everyone!
I was hoping to get some advice here.. It has been almost 15 weeks since my wedding date. My husband and I got married in early October. I received the previews of my wedding photos late last month- about 15 pictures. I was really glad to receive the previews, but I am still waiting on the rest of the photos to come back from my photographer. Our contract said 8-12 weeks would be the turn around time. I wanted to give some grace due to the pandemic and the holidays, but it just feels like I keep getting pushed around.
When we first scheduled our initial engagement shoot, the photographer reached out the day of the shoot and told us that she needed to reschedule because she wasn't feeling well. I understood and we moved the shoot. Then the day of the shoot arrived again, and she tried to move it again and acted annoyed that I didn't want to move it again.
It took about 2-2.5 months to get our preview photos back, and now we are almost 3 weeks past the contract time frame. I don't want to harass her or irritate her, and I'm also afraid to reach out because she already told us that we would have the rest of the photos by last week and that still hasn't happened, so I'm afraid she's just going to keep giving me timelines that she can't meet instead of being honest with me about the time frame.
So it just kind of feels like I haven't been a priority throughout this entire process. I have vendors that are asking me about the photos, a MIL that wants more photos, and I really wanted to look through the rest of the photos and add a couple of them on the thank you cards.
Did any of you guys have the same issue with your photographers? Any thoughts or advice?
Thank you!
Melissa
