I have seen the photos

 

they were just average photos, not great but nothing to cry mother cry father about

 

The couple paid $600 for a full day shoot and was expecting those celebrity wedding images which in truth require lots of post production work

 

in summary, they chose a photographer based on their budget, but was hoping for $6,000 results

 

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for

 

I really think they are not being realistic

 

and the bride says she has been crying for weeks because of the photos, this is nuts

the wedding is still successful, a marriage is not just a set of photos.

 

Kind of agree with you.

 

In every service transaction, it is important to set expectations right. High chance there are some mismatch expectations from the start.

 

Without going into the details (can't anyway, since they didn't show any AD photos), I figure there is probably 20-30% of acceptable photos from the 4000, but the couple expect 4000 to be great!

 

So again come back why the photographer gives those RAW pictures and causes misaligned expectations when the $600 is for the good "hit" pictures and not for the 4000 pictures of mostly mis-hit ones.

if they can get 400 good one from the 4000 quite good liao, then they do their own editing........wala still get great photo in the end!

 

i think she mentioned the hubby also CS member with some knowledge lor, hence that why they ask for RAW to save cost and do their own editing [rolleyes]

Cry becos she too cheapo.

 

I think they must a very young couple.

 

Marriage is more than just photos.

 

Why stress on those photos and start the marriage off in a lousy way?

 

Anyway, I am pretty sure they can salvage at least 100-200 acceptable photos and with some processing, they may turn out good enough for the album.

i tink there were acceptable fotos.. just not the kind that they were expecting.

i.e full shot of her gown.

 

the couple had their expectations of the kind of fotos they want but they fotog produced another ..

thus.. the hoooo haaaassssssss... [:/]

Am I mean if i said you pay for what you get?

 

from a $3k deal to $600.

they could have still say no since their AD offered them $700 top up for their in-house fotog.

But some of the photos really bad. Lol. I think anyone with a DSLR can also get the same results.

Yup, u're right [laugh] Definitely this guy is subpar.

 

Selecting a good photographer is also quite headache.

Before i got my AD photographer, i spent 1-2 wks looking thru all their portfolios before selecting one (since my photoshoot photographer wasn't free). In retrospect, it was good cos she costs 3-4x more than my AD photographer [:p]

This reminds me of an experience I had a few months ago .. my wife signed up for a studio family photoshoot, the shop was advertising at super low promo price. When we got there, the shop owner got the office boy who was doing the photocopying to take our pics .. haha. Not bad lah for the promo price [laugh]
