Affordable Pro Photo & Video

When I first met Mike, I thought he was very friendly. We got along well with him and we enjoyed taking our engagement pictures with him. A few months afterward, my wife met someone who had met with him and he told her he wasn’t going to be doing weddings anymore. I got a little worried and had considered hiring a back up photographer just in case, but didn’t listen to my gut because I thought I was overreacting. On the day of, he rushed through the post ceremony pictures. We got a good amount, but we didn’t get some shots that I wanted. The contract was for 7 hours, so he was supposed to leave at 9:30 which was 30 minutes before the end of the reception. A week before the wedding, I told him I didn’t mind paying overtime to have him there the whole time, but he brushed it off as unnecessary. That put me off. In the end, we got him to stay until the end and paid the overtime fee. We were able to get some beautiful pictures and we like our album, but we were not very happy with his attitude. There was at least one instance where he more or less pushed a guest out of the way so he could take a picture. I understand he was trying to get his shot, but all of my guests were family or close family friends. They all wanted to take their own pictures or talk to me or my wife. Some of the guests noticed this, which was embarrassing to me. In the end, it was apparent he doesn’t want to be a photographer anymore. This was disappointing to me; however I’m happy we have a lot of great pictures.
