Wedding Album Question - How Long?

How long did it take you to get your wedding album from your photographer?  I definitely think something fishy is going on with mine - it's been a year and a half and I still dont have it - havent seen the work in progress - etc. 

Which is a shame, because I really liked my photographer and his work is incredible.  I feel bad leaving him messages every week like "Hey, just checking on my album.  You said it was almost ready in Oct. Call me." sorta things.  But I did pay for it.  And I dont have it yet.

Is this a normal timeline?  Or should I continue to be pesty?

Re: Wedding Album Question - How Long?

  • wow- I would definitely keep pestering.  Have you seen anything at all- such as a proof book or CD?  I think it depends on if you are waiting for the whole organized pretty album, or if you have seen nothing at ALL. 

    I got my proofs last week, which is about 6 weeks after my wedding.  Most of my married friends got their proofs anywhere from 1-2 months out, and those who ordered albums got them anywhere from 2-4 months out.  

    Do you have another way of contacting him? Maybe try the better business bearau if you think he has disappeared, especially since you have already paid!

    Good luck!

  • I received all my actual photos (on cd) and about 600 prints a couple months after my wedding.  I also received my little "pocketbook" album that holds 20 or so photos. 

    It's just the big album I'm waiting on.  

    I know where he lives, have all his contact info - like I said I really liked him so I didnt want to get the BBB involved ... you know?

     

  • can the name be abbreviated DIBS? my photog and i'm having issues, too.

    Yes.

  • It definitely shouldn't take that long to have your album printed...I would have been more than pestering after 6 months.
  • I definitely understand why you wouldnt want to get BB involved, and I totally understand that, especially if you really like him!

    But it IS taking way too long to print an album, so don't feel bad pestering.  No need to be rude or anything, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with checking in to see on the progress.

  • oh this scares me. my last contact was the end of may when we got our dvd and printed proofs. he hasn't returned any calls in the past 6-7 weeks. our proofs still are not online and i'm ready to give him our album order form...

    you have a DM.    

  • You have been far more patient than I would of been.  I got mine by 2 or 3 months after the wedding and it took that long because it took me forever to pick what I wanted in it!

    I hope you get some resolution soon.  I would want the album back and I would want money back for it not being done in a timely manner.

  • There are some women on the MM board that had the same issue. I believe they sent a certified letter saying that they expect to receive it by x date or else they will be contacting the bbb or the ag or something like that and most of them got good results with that. I definitely would not have been able to wait this long.
  • great advice, lindyanne.

    flamoogle - i replied.

  • Wow I think that is waaaay long. I thought mine was bad, it took a year.  I would definately call him everyday and bug the sh!t out of him until he calls you and tells you what the heck is going on.  Even if he is working on it, he should still have called you by now, that is just bad customer service!

    I second this. If you have an legal friend who could put it on their letter head all the better. It's amazing how much faster people can be when they get something from an attorney...

  • I had the same photog and have contacted the BBB since I can't get in touch with him.  I'm still waiting for my 11x14 picture, my pocket album (yet to be ordered), and my wedding album (which was ordered last Sept.).
