Wild In Bloom Photography

I didn’t want to write this review… Seriously, I didn’t. I love leaving positive reviews and I wanted to do that for Danyele and Devonte too…but I could not. After receiving our “first look” at our photos, I emailed Danyele with concerns about the coloring and asked if the true colors of our day could be represented in our photos. I wanted to express this kindly and early so that “re-work” did not need to be done. She never responded. After the full 12-week wait, we received all of our photos. While they did capture a large selection of photos from our day and we are grateful, the coloring was just sadly not what I had hoped for—looking more muted when our colors were intentionally bright. (If you saw the edited photos, you would not have even known what our wedding colors were. In our wedding album, I ended up including cell phone images from friends of my bouquet because the edits looked like totally different colors.) I kindly asked Danyele again if it would be possible to either get some re-edits or to get the originals and she replied with a pasted portion of her contract basically saying no. Fair enough…we signed the contract and she did technically fulfill it. However, as a photographer in the service business (especially one as special as wedding capture), I would have expected more care to at least try to accommodate our request. Instead, we barely got any communication at all and zero willingness to work with us. So sad… We also had paid them for video of our wedding day. After 6.5 months of waiting and a handful of emails asking when we would receive it (after months of hearing nothing about it), we finally received our video files. We were sadly again disappointed. 😢 There were portions of our ceremony and reception not captured, including our flower girls and ring bearers, which I was most excited to see as, being the bride, I missed that portion of the day following behind them. Our nephews had prepared a special dance during the reception and this too was left out. After emailing twice to see if we could get those portions of video (edited or not), we heard nothing in reply. We also expected a little more creativity from our video and hoped for something we could post on social media. What we received was straight footage and even still, pieces missing. (I will note that there was very little communication from them about what the video would be—only number of hours being paid for.) Our wedding day was beautiful and we loved the day and so did our guests, but we do both regret our choice of this particular vendor and that is sad. Especially since we really did try to work with them and they just did not respond or seem to care at all. That said, if considering booking, please make sure you LOVE Wild in Bloom’s color filtering style for your own aesthetic. There will be no changing it. Please know that in our experience, you will not receive much communication beyond the booking and contract process both before and after the event. Know you may wait a while for your product. And know that they are not ones to work especially hard (or even moderately) to ensure customer satisfaction. I wish this weren’t our experience. I hope better for the next couple. We wish them well. But we are sincerely disappointed. 😭
