Wedding experience: The AD PG part 2

Well there is a little good news.

We have informed him that we are not too pleased with the services and felt he could have done better. He has responded positively and agreed that he would be passing to us ALL the photos taken.

Now there is slight hope that from this giant 1000+ collection we are able to dig out more decent photos to compliment the event.

For me at least, I am happy that he has responded positively. It seem to show that he would work something out decent for us.

But on a separate note I had a conversation with a fellow colleague whom gotten married 2 weeks before mine. She has hired a big name to take the pic and has not seen them yet. Partly she is also concerned about it. After all, the famous PG tends to post selective good pic up on FB and this time round, there was none.

I told her that we have to lower our expectation for AD. Unless our pre-wedding shots which has settings, backgrounds, lighting, etc of our choice, the AD is pretty much WYSIWYG.

We are likely to see cramp photos with plenty of relatives. And interestingly they tend to blink when the shutter is opened. We also have kids running around in the background that simply cant be stopped. Not to forget we have a paparazzi of other "PG" whom crowd out everyone view.

Without any control on how the shots would come out, and also no retake (I only have 1 church march in), everything is pretty much left up to chance.

I hope her photos turned out well. But would like to say this to all, we have to lower our expectation down 2 levels. So long as the Photos captured the memories and presence of my friends and family, I wont complain much more.
