blooming fed up with my photographer, still no link to my pictures from our pre wedding shoot that was done at the begining of november, after calls and txts from me after i went to see the images 2 weeks after the photo shoot. so i got my planner on to tthe case and she is fuming as she has called her 3 times to remind the photographer to do it even last night and nothing.... so the wedding planner has set a sting up .... shes refered another couple to my photographer and has been told to ring the couple toinight... now if the photgrapher ring the new couple me and the planner are going to be fuming....

my planner is finding me alternative photographers but with 4 and a bit months left till the wedding i really am fuming worried and anxious.....

we have payed a £500 deposit to the current photographer and she was £2550 in total..... i dont want to loose her as she is the best at what she does she is award winning etc and the photos are so important to me....

but its coming up to near 3mths without this link and we had them done for our wedding website to be joint with the invites that are going out the 2nd week in feb.... if shes like this now imagine after the wedding....

but iam so worried about finding another good photographer that is free on my wedding date

im on the verge of crying... photos to me are more importantthan my dress and venue as they are the key to memories :-(

Its a pretty rubbish situation hun but at least the wedding planner is on it and has set up the sting! Its good that they are looking into alternative photographers for you, Im sure they will find you a better one if its needed! xx

lets just hope that you get your link soon hun! xx

Fingers crossed it all gets sorted hun, sounds like a tough place to be but lik ekielty said, at least the wedding planner is on to it - let her sort the mess out and try not to stress too much x

Ok take a deep breath hunni - leave it to your planner to sort.

If she doesn't sort it soon she'll be in breech of her contract with you and therefore would have to pay you your deposit back as she hasn't fulfilled her part of it xxx

I can understand your frustration, and that you're worried the replacement photographer wont be as good, but do remember that your relationship with the photographer is just as important and at the moment I don't think you would be able to trust your photographer anyway. And check with a solicitor about your deposit too - since your photographer hasn't provided you with the service you were quite reasonably expecting you will probably be able to get this back if you do go elsewhere, even if it's not right away. x

ARRRRRGHHHH caps wrong way again SOOOOOOOORRRRYYY

yes jo thats the one... i wasnt happy not because of her shots just because me and h2b have very different skin tones i am yellow cool and he is warm ghost white so it is very hard to shoot, as i dont need light he needs light etc etc....i wasnt happy because i just didnt like the poses i was in wasnt happy with what i was wearing wasnt happy as i looked fake there were a few nice ones but even the photographer had said that we are a very different couple to shoot as my smile doesnt seem gueniune when thinking of the nicest thing in my life simply because my face isnt expresionate.....thats why i was willing to pay extra for an extra pre shoot.,

h2b is threatening to go make as much noise at possible at the wedding fair she is doing this sunday!! as hes peeved off

nope no wedding insurance... best get some!!!

pennie- the thing that gets me is the 1st time i met her i was in her house for 6 hrs gabbing chatting away etc etc we get on like a house on fire really thought she was wonderful...

seen loads of her work my florest recommended me to her as she has so many recomendations... is always in the wedding ideas magazine with 2 or 3 page spreads and spoke to a few that have used her and she rates really highly so i did my research....

part of me doesnt want her now

thats sooo bad!!! how frustrating for you!! i personally would start looking and emailing other photographers; i like you think photos are one of the most important things as far as memories go but just cos she is an award winner doesn't make her the best. it is also about the customer service she provides etc!!
if she does get back to you ask her what kind of compensation is she going to give you and how would she like it if you didn't pay her on time!!!

oh by the way she is bound by the "supply of goods and services act "

I hope it gets sorted for you. You can do without the stress.

WHEAY! so glad youve fixed it. your last photographer sounds like a right cow; lets do a UKB boycott. Tell us here name and if the mods allow, her webs, so we all know AVOID LIKE THE PLAUGE!!
personally, i feel like us girls are somewhat like an online family, and if shes hurts one of us . . . lets all get her back!
as far as im concrened, she can be as good as she bloody well likes, im STILL not using her if shes proven herself to be this crap to you.
So So glad youve got sombody decent :] Congrats :D <3 x

Thats excellent! Not tempted to leave a public message on her facebook by any chance? ;)

if we dont get the deposit back i can see h2b causing a bit of a stink and not bad mouthing her but more expressing his disapointment over the internet ... as h2b rang up before to start the ball rolling and the now ex photographer said "good luck finding someone else" to which h2b replied " dont worry we already have"


*evil laugh*

If you do have a problem getting your deposit back contact Trading Standards as they are really helpful and will ensure you receive it back since your original photographer went against their contract to you. I have had dealings with Trading Standards when our cake icer refused to do our cake after agreeing and accepting money but refused to give our deposit back. We did get it back once they dealt with it. xx
