Our videographer has gone AWOL is seems. Originally he said he would get me the raw footage (nothing edited yet) right before Christmas - that came and I didn't hear from here, so then it became for New Years - again nothing.
I emailed him end of January and he said he was very behind yadda yadda but he already started working on it, etc. He said since he took another FT job he was offering us to get the raw footage from him to take elsewhere for editing and we pay him nothing more then the deposit we already paid ($200). I asked if he would be able to recommend anyone to edit. I never heard back. So last month we emailed him again saying to send the raw footage and gave our new address to send it. We never heard back. We emailed again to ask if he could at least confirm he got the email to send the footage... still nothing.
Now that last email we sent was over a month ago. H's brother is a lawyer and is drafting a letter to send the videographer via certified mail and see where to go from there.
I mean seriously, he made it clear in his email he would rather just send us the raw footage then work on our video so he can get on with his other job (he no longer does weddings any more at all - we were in last on 11/6). And I have been nothing but polite and understanding in any communication we have had - even on the wedding day when his second shooter and assistant didn't show up. This is so annoying, I just want my video! :-/
Re: wedding vendor drama... after the wedding
Oh man - thats super frustrating. At this point, I would ask for the footage and a refund of the deposit - his behavior is unacceptable. I really hope you're able to at least get the footage - I'm sorry you're having to go through this!
BTW - How's your little avocado baby?
EDIT: I just saw in the Rant/Rave post that you find out the sex on Monday - So exciting! Please come back and share with us

I really hope we get the raw footage at least. We asked for it officially about a month and a half ago to relieve him of any further obligation. And it really is great having a lawyer in the family!
You bet I will share the sex of this little baby once I know! Things are going really well and I am pretty sure I felt it kick this morning for the first time!!!!! It was AMAZING!!! Little 'flicks' on the inside while I was still laying in bed thing morning, can't wait to feel it more often
