Hi
I've been married 2 months tomorrow. How long did it take for you to receive your wedding photos. We haven't even seen a proof.
Re: Wedding photos
We get the same response we are really busy and have a bunch of weddings ahead of you. She still hasn't been able to give us a date; that's what we get for going with a friend of the family. The only good thing out of this is that my brother in law took amazing pictures and we have those.
It can take a photographer from a month to 6months (occasionally more) to get the fully edited photos to you. They should have said up front, in the contract or both how long. The more weddings they have the longer it takes.
Dont bug them and let them know now (I'm sure they already know) you are excited to see the photos and would apreciate a sneak peek of one or two. Give them a few more weeks before checking in again if you have not heard from them.
I got mine after 6 weeks of being married. There was a hand written apologizing for the messed up photo album and saying that there was another one on the way, but I would get to keep that one as well (yay!!). It will probably be a month longer before I get the other album.
I was generally happy with the photos though. I just messaged my videographer because I haven't received anything or even got any feed back from him since the night of the wedding.
I heard that it took 3 months for someone to get back their footage for the people I used. (It will be 7 weeks on Saturday since our wedding).
I know my situation is not normal, but my album didn't come for more than a year! We had proofs by 2 months though.
Sometimes you have to crack the whip with photographers. I became my photographers worst nightmare until he delivered on the album and I demanded a partial refund.
H and I used my sister's SIL. It took her 9 months to get us our pictures. And she left at the beginning of the reception with no explanation so it's a good thing my dad is a photographer or we'd have no pictures from that. Lesson learned: always use a professional and/or make a contract.
we got ours last week...so thats about 2.5 months...
You should have signed a contract that should have outlined how long it would take. Look it up, if its past that date, start bugging the photographer...if not, leave her alone until it is.
