Waiting on getting engagement photos back...

Kenzie, on July 1, 2019 at 9:57 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
I took my engagement photos on June 16th and waiting to get them back has been so hard (I’m a bit impatient lol but I also understand that she’s busy, has her own life, and has tons of other sessions to edit and shoot as well). We got a sneak peak immediately after the session and I’m in love! Our photographer told us we’d have our gallery within two weeks and said for sure no later that that. Well yesterday was 2 weeks on the dot and we still don’t have it :/ I keep seeing other shoots she’s posting on social media which is both making me super excited to get mine back but also slightly impatient/annoyed.

I never want to be the annoying client who messages and asks when her photos will be back but how long should I wait to message her if I don’t end up getting my gallery back this week either? Our contract says within 2 weeks so that’s just what I was originally thinking. I’m hoping I get them tomorrow or Wednesday because I really want to avoid confrontation if it ends up being weeks rather than days 😅

    Maybe comment something on the post like how much you like the pictures and can't wait to see yours! 😂😍

    Do something to take your mind off it! It'll be in your inbox before you know it. Good things take time. If it's a week in addition I would maybe nudge. But if it's just a few days check back later.

    I just asked my photographers a few minutes ago if they had a ballpark for edited engagement photos (we took ours on June 18). They said they were a little backed up but that we will have them this week. It wouldn't hurt to ask politely: "Hey! I know you're super busy with all of your sessions. I've loved seeing all of your work on social media and am so excited to see our session. Do you have a ballpark on when we should be expecting our gallery? We can't wait to see your amazing work!"

    Give it a couple more days and shoot her an email. Wednesday maybe? Sorry it's taking so long. I was super pumped to get mine this week (even though those 8 days seemed to drag), but over the moon when they came back a week earlier than expected.

    I would wait until the 3 week mark, just to give her some leeway. Definitely message her after that!

    Give it a few more days! Smiley smile Remember, it is a holiday week too so she may be extremely busy editing and the craziness of a holiday mid-week!
