If you are fortunate, you get one wedding day in your life. Don’t take a risk with this team. They completely missed the ball on our wedding and we will never get those moments or ...memories back. Here is a list of some of the many things that went wrong:
1. The biggest thing for me was that I wanted a photo with my immediate family (mother, father, brother and husband). We spent over an hour making a shot list in their disorganized online portal and I met with their coordinator, Chelsea, twice (both times indicating the shots that mattered to me most). On the day of, one of the photographers was supposed to take these shots during cocktail hour of the immediate family, but instead of saying who was next and calling out or directing anything, he looked at me, the bride, cluelessly and kept asking me “who’s next? Who’s next?” What is the point of spending hours meeting your coordinator and writing a shot list if on the day of my wedding I have to panic to figure out every combination of people we need shots with? He ended up not getting a single shot of my family with my husband or even with me alone. In these shots, my hair was flying all over the place and my grandmother had sunglasses on, and my husband seemed to be out of most of them!! I’ve had school pictures where the photographer directed us more to take glasses off or move a hair. He was just completely clueless about what to do. We paid extra for a second photographer, but where was she? Taking detailed shots of food. If I had the photos I wanted I wouldn’t have even minded this, but there wasn’t a single nice photo of my family with my husband.
2. We had a stunning backdrop for photos at the Omni. Mountains everywhere. So riddle me this, why is the only good photo of me as the bride in a bathroom??? They did not take a single photo of me with mountains in the back and even on our private balcony, made the decision to shoot against a white wall instead. Again, on my wedding day the last thing I want to do is direct a photographer on where to shoot. The best photos of us as a couple, the photographer was going to take in one direction and I had to direct him to get the mountains in the back instead of a unidimensional wall of trees.
3. The only photos of me and my mother are in a bathroom during setup, even though I wrote and said I wanted these photos.
4. The group photos they did take were sub par. My guests took better shots of their families on their iPhones. Next time I’ll get a cousin to take iPhone shots instead of spending close to $7000.
5. The best picture of me is an iPhone picture a friend took.
6. My mom was posing with her brother and sister and the female photographer told them to stop and she took a photo. This photo was nowhere to be found in the shots we received.
7. It was nearly impossible to reach the coordinator, Chelsea, to schedule a meeting before the wedding. I kept getting emails to upsell us on things and yet she was MIA. When we finally did meet she wasn’t really helpful.
So here it is everyone. I really hope that some of you look through the one star reviews here, and just save yourself the time money and also stress in your wedding day. I’m heartbroken that the best day of my life happened, it was beautiful and it was just so poorly captured.
