My expectations for Adrienne were very high since I looked at her work and her photos were beautiful and looked as if she took time to be creative to set up a captivating shot. Our engagement shoot was great, she posed us and we were very happy... with the outcome. But our wedding was another story. I felt as if she didnt take the lead at all during my wedding day. Lazy photos of my wedding dress hanging on a closet door,...where you could see the sink next to it. She didnt take initiative when it came to making a creative atmosphere and you could see it in the photos. Friends and family were surprised that the same person who took our engagement photos also did the wedding photos, they couldn't believe it. Adrienne also lost some of the most important photos of the day, I do not have a picture of my whole wedding party, or with the groom's parents, or his siblings. I brought this to her attention AFTER she sent the pictures to me, she didnt notice at all that these significant photos were missing, nor did she ever tell me how this could have happened. Adrienne compensated us with some things, but they will never replace these important photos. It hurts that I have a wall with all our wedding photos and had to pull random photos together to look like there was a wedding party, and random shots of the grooms parents and other important family members. Adrienne also was not effective in creating our album, it was sent to us with doubles of prints that I had never chosen. Again it was after the fact that I brought it to her attention that the album was atrocious. It looked like a 4 year old put it together, come to find out that Adrienne does NOT put the album together like she claimed when we had our first meeting with her. She sends it out and some stranger does it. My experience was a nightmare...it was the worst aspect of our wedding. It saddens me, and my pictures are a constant reminder of this unfortunate incident , and the lack of creativity shows through and through. It seems to be that Element Photography only does outside weddings well, if you have and inside wedding, I would be very hesitant in choosing them. I dont want anyone to have to go through the disappointment we went through. You spend alot of money on the photography for your wedding, cause you want to catch your most unforgettable day in the most beautiful way. I look at my wedding wall and at times cringe because it could have been done right....if she would have invested her time and creative skills to our wedding. Losing photo's and having no reason to tell your customer, is shady. You do this day in and day out..its your profession. Im pretty sure they have some idea as to how and why this happened. Instead we were compensated with "things"..I dont want things I want the moments captured on camera that I can look at forever. I researched and researched for my wedding and thought I would avoid a situation like this, believed that I was thorough. Boy was I wrong.
