i’m very happy with a portion of the photos I got back, but am also very dissatisfied with how a lot of things went. We took our engagement photos early August 2021. I asked for the photos or even a preview a month later and he said he sent them, but I never received anything so he sent them again. I only got about 8 photos, and only 2-3 were usable because of doubles and mid pose awkward shots. I assumed with so few that was just a preview so I asked for more a few weeks later before the wedding day on 10/9/21 so I could display some. Jono said he would send some more but never did so I used some other photos a friend took to display at the reception.
The wedding day came and went. I never heard anything from Jono for weeks so after 8 weeks I reached out to him for even a preview. He sent a portion of the photos after that including the family photos which I wish a little more attention to detail was paid. there are things on the floor/in the foreground that could have been out of frame if everyone was positioned better in the photos.
Another at least month, so now 12+ weeks since the wedding, well beyond the contract date of when we should have received our photos, and i still had heard NOTHING from Jono. My MOH reached out to him for the photos which he sent a few days later. It honestly just felt like our photos and us got ignored for months and then most of the photos were just batch edited again with not too much attention to detail.
On top of all this he called my husband the wrong name during the engagement photos so I corrected him in a DM the next day. He still was calling my husband “Nick” instead of “Ricky” ON our wedding day. which just made the photos after the ceremony so awkward and seemed very unprofessional on his part.
There was NO communication from him after the wedding, even with all the delays. only when I would email first. We were also never offered any type of refund, even partial, for either set of photos. Like many people have said you get what you pay for so if someone is the cheapest in the area you’ve seen, there is probably a reason. The services I received reflected that.
Jono took our engagement and wedding photos and I am SO glad he did! He got to know us so well as a couple and the photos proved that. He is personable and easy going which made us feel at ease. He had us in our element, instead of just posing. I loved every picture he took of us and how professional yet approachable he was with our guests. He felt like just another guest to enjoy the day with, yet he took AMAZING pictures at the same time.
I hope in the future he can take maternity pictures and family pictures! I would hire again and recommend to all!
