Do I tell my BIL?
DH's brother and his wife are wedding photographers in my home state. They do nice work and have become rather popular in the last year. I sometimes go on the board for my home state and I noticed a post about their photography today. It's not a bad post, but basically mentions that they are taking way too long to get their photos back to their clients (something I noticed as well since I follow their blog).
The thing is, DH and I have been trying to convince them for awhile now that they should hire someone to help them, espeically with editing. I was pretty much told that they were fine and didn't need any help, but it's clear that they do.
Would you mention to BIL that you have heard his clients aren't happy or would you stay out of it? This is their cource of income and I would like to see their business grow but I also don't want to overstep my boundaries.
Thoughts? TIA

This. But, I'd definitely have H send it since it's his brother.
You're a smart one Mamie
I knew you would recognize this since you posted on it
Yep, I did. What's funny is they were on my short list of photogs before I booked mine. My friend on that board is now at the 5 week mark with no teasers or anything, but yet sees sessions that occured after her wedding being blogged, so it's frustrating as you can imagine. It's great they have so much business, but my friend booked them 1.5 years ago and it's a shame she's being pushed off to the side. She did get an email from him last night that they hope to be able to show her something soon. She's not displeased with the work so far, but just wants to see *something* from her wedding. Personally, I think 8-10 weeks is BS, and I personally couldn't have a photog that had me wait that long.
I posted what I did in that thread in the event it would be seen by him (and other photogs). But I hope I didn't upset *you* as a family member.

I definitely would, but would likely have H do it...but would depend how close you are to BIL.
I know my photog took 2.5 months to get photos back to a girl I referred to him (on top of ignoring her calls/emails). She was pissed...threatened to sue...and now he is amazingly fast at responding to calls/emails and turned my photos around quickly also.
I think they sometimes don't realize it, because they are so busy...at the very least it will help him know he needs to set appropriate expectations with clients and in the contract going forward...

keb, do you have two photographer BILs?? Because the one in question is not Jim in OH. Confused.

ETA: Ha, guess it's possible - sister's husband and husband's brother both. Jealous! I need more photogs in my family.

You're right, Mamie. I do have two BIL photographers. Jim in Ohio did my engagement photos, but only does a few weddings a year. I wasn't even thinking about that when I posted this.
The one in question is who you think it is
Again, jealous.
BTW, did you or your H ever pass it on?
