On another note, I want to share my sheer frustration about our wedding photographer. Sam and I were married on May 23, of 2004. Our wedding photographer was the same as my best friend, Amanda's photographer. Even though she warned me that he didn't take any pictures during their reception, I figured I would keep a good watch on him and make sure that didn't happen. About a month after we got married, our crappy photographer brought me the proofs in a lovely album. According to the contract we were to also get a custom 16x20 print and an 18-page professional album. Unfortunately, we got so bogged down in moving to NYC and packing and Sam starting a new job that we didn't pick our pictures for the wedding album. About six months after we moved, I e-mailed him wanting to know what I needed to do to get the album made. I didn't hear back from him. I made some inquiries as to where he was and how to get ahold of him. When he finally got back to me he let me know that he had gone out of business and offered us $500 and our negatives or an album that would take a long time. I wanted the album.
Months later and still no word from him. I e-mailed a month ago and asked what the next step was. A few days ago I sent a threatening e-mail requesting either the album and the custom print or a full refund. This morning I got an e-mail from him and the bastard filed for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy! Know what that means for me? No album, no $500, no refund - not a God Damn thing! I can't do anything. At least he offered to send me the negatives. So now I am a stupid bride with no wedding album. Guess I'm gonna have to foot the bill to get a nice album.
Note to future brides - Enforce your contract before the jackass files bankruptcy. Choose your pictures as soon as you have the chance and don't move to NYC before getting your wedding album. Terry Allen Smith - May you rot in hell!
