    Hi guys

    Id thought id found a great deal, two togs and a video person for £1k, after him emailing me for weeks upon weeks (like he was desperate for the work)

    Now weeks later when i was about to finalise it all he tells me he only video's until 8pm!

    that doesnt even cover the night time or after the food is out and the party is in full swing.

    It is normal for him to seem do desperate (like if i dont email reply immediately ten mins later he thinks im in a huff and tells me so in the msg)

    and B is it normal for videos to end around 8 ish....im wanting one until about 1030/11 ish?


    im confused but hes annoying me that hes so pushy...

    Tell him you are not interested. You are clearly not happy with the service he is providing or with him as a supplier. You need to feel confident with your suppliers and you don't sound confident with him.

    Just tell him straight out that you have decided not to book him. If he continues to message you them ask him to stop.

    You are right it is not normal for a supplier to behave that way

    I know most photographers leave before the party is in full swing, but honestly why hire him. £1k is a lot f money for somebody who is like this. He doesn't sound very professional at all.

    Ours is staying til about 9/9.30 once all the bit bits are done like cake cutting etc. but enough so they catch some of the dancing. I'd dump him, sounds like a spoilt teenager tbh and not worth your time!

    Ours is amazing!! Coming from 8am until 10:30pm to catch all prep, they're also doing the video and our album traditional but in comic book style, ( we're geeks and proud lol). They travel and are very reasonably priced for what they are providing, ( not sure he realizes but I'm surely not gonna tell him lol). His 2nd is also going to do the guys prep, there's a digital package also, Amazeballs right?! I'd be happy to send you his link if you like?xx

    Mine is arriving early morning to take photos etc while I'm getting ready and will be there until 11pm, although he is doing a photo booth for me too.

    If h is not willing to negotiate on time at all I'd get rid x

    Ours did finish after the first dance, so around about 8:30. I think that is fairly standard, although they should be more flexible if they want a decent amount of work. The grovelling is offputting though.

    If he cannot provide you with what you want, tell him you are not interested even at the price he is offering.

    I had a tog messaging me like that and the same thing happened, was about to finalise it all and he then refused to e-mail me back, took him 3 months to reply to an email and i didnt even get an apology! safe to say i didnt go with him and booked with someone else and now i'm super happy! lol

    if hes like this with you now and you dont like it, imagine what he'll be like after the wedding or after hes taken the money etc. If you've got any kind of doubts go elsewhere. Remeber they need you more then you need him. xx

    Ha!! Twat!! The jokes on him because not only can you get it cheaper, you can most definitely get more bang for your buck AND a better person to deal with!!xx
