Promani Weddings

ely reflect the full history of my communication with you or several of the statements attributed to us. There is also important context missing from this review. Following delivery of your gallery, you initially communicated that you loved your experience and the work produced by my team. Your concerns arose later in connection with a request for the complete raw photographs at no additional cost, despite those files not being included in the services you contracted for. When I explained that I could not provide an additional deliverable outside the agreement for free, you threatened to leave a negative review in connection with that request. I have retained the written correspondence documenting that exchange. Malicious reviews are extremely disheartening to read. For the sake of transparency, as we are being accused of delivering a gallery full of issues, we are posting the link to your gallery for all to review, here: https://gallery.promaniweddings.com/client/kamille-and-justin If we could post screenshots of your specific request for a brightly edited gallery, I would. I absolutely respect that you are entitled to your own opinion of your wedding photographs and film. Creative work is subjective, and I would never suggest that you are obligated to feel positively about every image or creative decision. However, there is an important distinction between expressing an opinion and presenting disputed or untrue statements as fact. Most notably, several statements attributed to me in this review are simply not things I said. The review states that I told you red eye corrections were excluded because they constituted “detailed retouching.” That characterization is not accurate, and our written correspondence documents what I actually communicated. That context matters because it makes the characterization of this review as false. I am certainly willing to accept legitimate criticism of our work, but I do not believe it is appropriate to make or imply factual allegations about conversations that did not occur, particularly when the actual written communications establish otherwise. Such as citing waiting "weeks" for revisions. Productions take time and you were always informed of the next steps and we were able to send you complete revisions within 2 weeks, during the busiest time of the year. The moments that were not originally included in your film were also moments that you never specifically mentioned wanting in the film, so we had no way of knowing that these specific moments were the utmost priority to you, since every couple has different priorities and typically let us know if there is anything specific that stands out for them. I also want to clarify that some of the technical conclusions in the review were based on the assessment of another photographer who you brought in to evaluate your images. You compared our photos that have a natural editing style, to an outside photographer who had a very filtered and heavy editing style. I respect that you sought another professional’s opinion, but that person's assessment is not an objective finding about the quality of my work, or my teams work. I invested significant time into your wedding, including the photography, videography, editing, revisions, and follow-up after delivery. When you brought concerns to my attention, I worked to address them, including making revisions to the film and gallery. For several weeks I made multiple revisions for free, trying to make you happy even though you initially stated you were happy. I stand behind the work that was ultimately delivered and the effort I made to resolve the concerns you raised, only after not getting the raw photos for free. I am genuinely sorry that your final experience did not leave you feeling the way I want my couples to feel when they look back at their wedding. At the same time, I believe future couples deserve an accurate picture of what occurred, including the portions of this review that are contradicted by our written correspondence. I wish you both the very best and hope that, with time, you are able to look back on your wedding day with more of the happiness it deserves. — Benjamin Promani Weddings
