How long Did it take you to get Pro Pics?


Recommended Posts

Hi Girls:

 

I am curious to see how long it takes most DW photogs to get all of the pictures to you. I used a photog that had never done a DW before and photograhy is not his full time job. He has now been home for 3 weeks but his latest said he was beat but was still working on it. I'm not sure if this is a normal length of time so I thought I'd start a poll!

We were told that it usually takes our photographer 4-6 weeks, but she told us that she was likely working more on the 6 week end of things. She emailed us a few times to update how things were coming along which I really appreciated but the anticipation was killing me! It ended up being 6 weeks, but they were definitely worth the wait!

Processing digital pictures takes a lot of time. This is also the busy season for wedding photographers.

 

photographers also do varying amount of work on the pictures. Some just do the most basic color correcting and others fine tune each picture individually.

OK, I'll have more patience. I am just so excited to get them and even though I love the pictures our guests took I"m DYING to see our pro pics! He knows that we have our AHR on the 30th so I think he's going to try to get them to us before then. That would be 5 weeks after the wedding. He also knows that we're moving to South Africa in the middle of June so if he wants us to buy an album we need to have enough time to get it!

Now i'm really disappointed because I emailed my photog yesterday and he said it normally takes 6 weeks an album to come in. So now I either lose $500 which was our deposit that was supposed to be applied towards an album or pay an arm and a leg for shipping to South Africa. I thought maybe we could just buy a parent's album for my parents since they put the deposit down but he said we have to order at least a bridal album before we can order a parent's album.

 

Also he had said in a previous email (about 2 months before our wedding) that we would have our pictures before the May 30th reception and now that's a no go. He even admitted that he hasn't done any more since May 2 at all!! But he's still taking weekends off to go and shoot his nude models. I am pretty disappointed because he doesn't seem to care at all about getting our pictures done.

I would ask him to pay shipping to SA! Well, do you have this in a contract or just voiced?

 

If he were to send it through USPS in an international flat rate box it would only cost $40 to SF. We shipped alot to Botswana, and much much more when we came home!

nude models?

 

you don't sound like you were too happy with your photographer sad.gif

 

I'm glad to see a USPS international box is only $40. Will that help your problem?

 

he said it takes 6 weeks to get the album from the time it is ordered? he needs a new album company. I got mine in about a week.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
