Avstatmedia Photography, Video & Photobooth St. @ $795

hing like what I had imagined. On the wedding day itself, the failures were worse. I received no photos with my mother. There are only two portraits of me in my wedding gown, and my husband and I have just 10 portraits together. Ceremony photos are poorly angled, with shots from the floor, far away, or from the side where all you see are people’s backs. The video looks like it was filmed in the 1980s, with shaky footage, repeated glitches, and angles that miss important moments. I explicitly communicated my preferred editing style via email and was promised it would be followed. The final product ignored all of this. After one re-edit, which again ignored our instructions, we were told that any “proper” fixes would cost more. I was willing to pay for a solution, but even the editor confirmed that the footage could not be stabilized or corrected. Months later, I have found an editor who is managing to salvage some of the material—but there is nothing that can replace the photos that were never taken. Weddings happen only once, and the fact that Avstat Media did not take this seriously is infuriating. Their lack of professionalism has left us with permanent gaps in our wedding memories.
