So I made a review shortly after I received my teaser images only a week after my wedding. All great reviews including the speed of the teasers and the professionalism at the weddi...ng. However, I have to make an update because I have to admit, I'm really not impressed with the finished product. I absolutely hate to leave a bad review but our wedding was the very end of February. A time we have been told over and over again from many people in Lake Tahoe that it is a very slow wedding time. So for receiving the completed images after 3 months.. that was unexpected. My sister is a professional photographer in San Francisco. I asked her what the normal turn around time is in general and she said it could take 3 months so if I don't hear anything back, I should reach out. (I know I could have asked her but I really wanted her to enjoy herself and not work)
Well after the teasers, I never heard anything back so just before it turned to 3 months, I reached out asking for an update.
I was told they were finishing up. Ok, fine. I don't want to rush, I know editing could take time. It just would have been nice if there was communication. After 3 months, I was told it should be another week. After 2 weeks I reached out again asking for an update confused since the wedding was supposed to be in slow wedding season. Now if they got busy with random shoots that's fine but again, there was no communication. If anything, I just kept thinking they forgot about my pictures and were last minute trying to complete them.
Well shortly after, I got an email saying they are starting to load the images.
There were some beautiful images and then there were really awkward images with terrible angles or it seemed like there was no editing minus turning some images into a sepia or black and white.
My husband asked if there were more and I thought there should be since there weren't any of the cake and very minimal of just us. So I reached out again and asked if there were more.
I was told yes and that they would let me know when they were all uploaded.
June 22, I received an email that all images were now uploaded. Our wedding was on February 28th.
I looked at the finished images and just.. although there are a few good images in there, I don't really like most of them. Such terrible angles, editing seems subpar and not enough of just me and my husband.
I honestly feel like they forgot about them and rushed it in the end.
One other thing my husband pointed out to me and I got pretty sad after was that there is not a single photo of just me in my dress. Not one. I'm always with someone whether blurred or not.
I know I am camera shy and they helped with the poses, but nothing of just me. My husband has so many whether he is purposely posing or they're candid. I just wish I had at least one full body single image of me.
Again, I hate leaving negative reviews. Greg was so nice but I'm pretty unhappy with the wait and finished product.
