FB Vent
So, I gave both sets of parents a family photo session with a prof. photog as a gift for helping us with our wedding. We took the pictures and have jstu gotten them back...on Facebook! Is that strange?? The photog posted them directly to FB without any of us seeing them and now I am at work and cannot access FB so I have no idea what they look like.
Is it me or should I have gotten the link before the entire FB world did? So frustrating! I have left messages via FB (on my phone, luckily my boss didn't catch me!) and by text. I'm hoping the photog gets them and gets them off FB. Oh, and send ME the link so that i can see them!
Anyone else ever experience this? yet another reason that tags should require permission- or do they and I am missing that setting? Grrr.
Re: FB Vent
I think that would irritate me too. A lot.
Didn't photog tell you when you booked how you would get your proofs?
FWIW - a friend of mine just proposed to his gf and had a photog take pictures. Well, the photog posted the pics ON FB and tagged both of them before they'd gotten a chance to tell friends and several important family members that they'd gotten engaged.
It might be the trend - but it's a hella-tacky one.
She clearly said we would get an event link to smugmug which she highly recommends even for personal use...NOT tagged pics on FB! All these FB friends are commenting on the posted pics and we haven't even seen them.
but to put it in perspective...at least it was not my engagement! That's horrible. What photog? if you care to share. I would be very interested to see if it's the same one.
My cousin got married over the weekend and their photographer is posting pics on facebook and his website. But he told people that up front so it's not new information for us.
It is tacky to do it without telling the couple first--especially if it were an engagement.
I can't access FB at work or I'd pull the name for you. I do recall it was a guy name though, so I doubt it's the same since you indicated yours was a female.
Yes, rule #1, clients see the pictures of them that they paid for first.
Rule #2, if posting on a social networking site, get permission.
Ok, vent over
and I feel much better knowing that you all feel the same as me about the situation. thanks!
