Photos.. How many were you given to choose from?

Hi Misty

If you want any help at all with replying to her email please feel free to message me on here

How nice of you to offer help. :-)

Misty, could you please email me via my website who it was and how much you paid please?

Just so I can advise you. Someones website and pricing structure says a lot more than sales patter.

On an all dayer I typically deliver 400-700 images.

But, if her images are heavily processed it might explain that amount, heck even email me the online gallery.

Our photo company is 2 guys who spent the whole day with us from about 8am until after the first dance. There were 2 of them and they were really nice guys, very professional, and they never got in the way. It's hybridphotography.co.uk they gave us about 450 photos on disc and they're high res so we aren't tied in to printing with them, and they did an engagement shoot too as well as an album and a digital frame included in the price (£1495) I'm so happy with them! The photos are amazing and they're such nice guys! Can't speak highly enough of them! 

I supply every image from the day fully edited and ready to print.  That's typically over a thousand photographs (I know, we just happen to be able to shoot that many good ones).  The average is 250 - 500.  The storyboards I pop on my website have about 90 - 150 images, and they "just" tell the story of the day

I really do feel for you. I don't know how some people sleep at night.

I hope this works out for you. In your position, I would take it (with legal advice) as far as possible.

Best wishes,

As a guide, we usually supply between 350 - 450 when covering Bridal preps through to the speeches, every wedding is different & therefore we supply a varying number of images.

Misty, what's the site adress? I would like to look at her portfolio. I suposse a photographer cuts the number of pictures, when they are not properly taken

Misty xx:

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.

 

Unfortunately Andrew we didn't get a written contract. I could really kick myself!

When we were having photos taken outside the church, she said to us that between them they had taken 2000 shots already.

We weren't given a number Ali but based on what she said at the church we were expecting heck of a lot more than 130!

I think there is two possible reasons you have only 130 images.

1) Only 130 were decent.

2) They didn't want to spend time processing any more than 130.

Is 130 images too little?

Unless they are amazingly good.. then yes I would say so personally, and unless your buying Queensbury albums, your going to really struggle to find enough images for 4 albums.

I tell clients to expect 150-300 images due to all weddings being different. I usually actually deliver around 300 but like to under promise and over deliver.

What I would do is ask for at least another 200 processed album worthy images, and see what response you get.

Our tog was amazing..... she was with us for more than 8 hours, and we have just over 500 shots from our wedding day.....

I'm still going through them to decide which ones will make it into albums....

Wish our wedding day didn't seem such a long time ago.... Flew by in a flash x

Hmmm...

Its a tricky one- we normally shoot for 8 hours (there are 2 of us) and we normally present 300-400 images to our clients.. I think any more than 400 and you may actually have too many to choose from for an album... hope this helps
