Speicher Photography

Oh Brooke, this breaks my heart to have to do this. After 5 MONTHS and 2 days, I got my photos back, but the quality is lacking. Very grainy and I'll be lucky if I can print anything above a social media or 4x6 without it being pixilated. I'm supposed to have 14 days to ask for edits, but can't even contact you because you've gone ghost. And I suspect at this point, the raw photos aren't even available. I'm sad that my photos aren't the quality I know you're capable of and I can't recreate that day 😔 I'm sad for the folks that only have a few photos from their sneak peek and nothing more. 😔 I'm also sad that I don't know how or what to do to help you. If you're in trouble and need help, please reach out to someone. I didn't just consider you my photographer. I considered you my friend. At this point, I cannot recommend. I hope you can get things straightened out and try to rebuild as I've seen the work you do and this is not it! Ugh! 💔

Brooke took our wedding photos in September and we have only received 15 photos. Her phone is now off and she still has not sent us anything more of our wedding day. As we paid her almost $3k and haven’t received anything. Wish I would have known that she wasn’t going to follow through before having her shoot one of the most important days of our lives. Reading other reviews it looks like other people that had weddings after us have received more photos than we have. With our wedding being in September 28th, it has now almost been 4 months and all we have is 15 photos, none of which are with our family and friends and she hasn’t even sent the group photo I asked for multiple times that has people in that have now passed on. Very frustrated and would never recommend her or want anyone to go through what we have. Not having photos to remember our day makes it seem like the whole wedding day was a waste of money.

My frustration with Brooke Speicher Photography comes down to communication. Brooke was ill on my wedding and did not attend. She sent a lovely colleague to take photos of my wedding and we had an amazing day. After the wedding, I anticipated getting my photos within 6 weeks, as per the contract. I received my first photos after about 6.5 weeks, because Brooke was experiencing technical difficulties uploading them to an online gallery. After I started receiving photos, there were many I was missing. I would let her know some were missing, and she would tell me that she had them, and that I would receive them "this evening". When the photos did not come "that evening" I would get concerned. I would reach out again, and again, sometimes not getting a response for 3 days. I would call, asking for her to call me back, she never did. I would text, and wouldn't get a response for days. Each time I asked for missing photos she told me she had them. I was getting frustrated having to ask, so I asked if there was a reason I couldn't see all the pictures taken that day, to look for the missing ones myself. I thought then I could stop bugging her for them. She offered to send me the folder of raw photos. When I didn't receive them, I reached out again, and was told she was not contractually obligated to provide them, despite being the one who offered them up in the first place. Each time I had asked for photos, she had had them, so naturally I assumed it was acceptable to keep asking. I've been told Brooke's colleague took more photos of my day than a Bride would typically receive, and it's true that I have A LOT of photos. They are beautiful, and I genuinely love the ones that I have. But to this day, nearly 10 weeks after my wedding, I still don't have all my photos. I'm missing pictures of people in my wedding party walking down the aisle, and some posed pictures with family and friends. I know for a fact these photos were taken, but I guess I'm just not going to see them. Due to the inconvenience, I requested a 10% credit be returned to my card. She told me she processed it, but it never went through. My wedding day was the best day of my life, but this post-wedding experience has been incredibly disappointing due to inconsistent and (in my opinion) unprofessional communication.

Brooke was SO amazing to work with! She has such unique ideas and her prices were amazing for the high quality of her work! We cannot recommend her enough :)
