Re: KayKay
Thanks for asking!
It went okay. The bride was *very* self concious about her body. This became clear when DH tried to move her veil away from her face a bit and she went deer in a headlights on him. As a result, most of the pictures have her veil in her face because she wanted it covering up her arms and such. We stayed way longer than we were supposed to because they kept putting off paying us and, oddly, the bride only wanted a few pictures of her with her new husband. Most of the shots she wanted with her bridal party.
As for after the wedding, it's gone kind of horrible. She had her bra peeking out from her dress in almost every shot. We told her over and over again during photos and she didn't really care or do anything about it, but now that she sees the photos she wants her bra "taken out" of every photo. We also put together a HD video montage of the day for them and she wants us to delete large chunks of it because it "shows her from the side" and she doesn't like the way she looks from the side. She's being a bit of a bridezilla considering she's getting fairly professional level work and she only paid us $300. Plus, they had us stay 3 hours later than the contract stated and not only did they not offer to pay us anything for it, they also didn't tip us. One last thing, videography was not in the contract. I took HD video because I thought it would be a cute little addition to their memories of the day. Then we spent a full day editing it only to have her ask us to chop it up and replace bits. This was essentially a "wedding gift" - she didn't pay for it!
So, meh.....
Lol! I will post a link to pictures/the video soon!
