I am seriously disappointed with my wedding photos. The quality of pictures I receive do not align with what is advertised on his website, nor what was advertised at the Austin Bridal Extravaganza, which is where I discovered his work. Prior to... my wedding day and the day of, I was told by this photographer that the lighting in the chapel (where my ceremony and family pictures were going to take place) was amazing and the pictures would be amazing. All my family portraits are washed out and over exposed. There are shadows on faces and are just overall, disappointing in quality. It is also worth noting that my husband and I and our families felt rushed throughout this entire process. I wish more care and attentiveness was taken for staging and posing, and wish we had the opportunity to move outside to take more pictures.
I do not have any decent pictures of me walking down the aisle with my father and the 2 pictures I was provided of me and my husband after we were pronounced husband and wife are awful quality as well. You’d think an iPhone took these pictures with how grainy and blurry they are.
Additionally, I do not have any decent pictures with my dad or mom. I did a first look with my dad and some staged pictures after and did not receive a single decent picture. Every picture sent was a candid, but clearly mid-sentence with double chins and lazy eyes. I practically begged Mitchell to search through all of his pictures to find a good one, but he admitted that there were none and offered to redo them. As if I would be able to fit into my wedding dress now and not mention, pay for hair, make up, tuxes, etc all over again just because he failed to capture these important life moments.
Overall, I felt like my wedding was not important or cared for by Mitchell and his team. I specifically asked for wedding detail shots and Mitchell was dismissive of these when I asked. If it wasn’t for me asking my wedding coordinator to track him down and take them, I would not have these pictures. And I don’t even like them. They are half-assed, low quality pictures taken on the floor of my wedding venue. I also asked for venue pictures with my decorations, yet received pictures during setup with boxes, checklists, dolleys, and trash in the background.
I have a million pictures of me and my husband doing the exact same pose in different venue locations, but never received the pictures I specifically asked for and carved out time in our day to get. Mitchell did not care about my or family requests and because of this, I have very limited family and friend pictures. I am very disappointed and sad that I do not have photos that accurately reflect my perfect wedding day. Please be wary of hiring this photographer and his team if you are wanting detailed shots and would like family represented.
