Fairytale Photos

Where to begin with this vendor... She showed up late because she was photographing something else that morning (even though in our contract it stated the wedding would be her only commitment that day since we purchased the most expensive unlimited package). The "second photographer" she brought was not trained at all and added no value whatsoever (she just stood next to April the whole time taking the exact same photos). She missed several crucial shots, including my father walking me down the aisle. At the reception she spent quite a bit of time just standing around, not photographing anything. All the pictures turned out too dark to see and full of shadows or blurry because of her crappy equipment and lack of external flash. There were guests at my wedding that brought nicer cameras than she did. It took several weeks to get my photos, which would have been fine if she was actually touching them up or doing anything with them, but as it turned out she refused to edit any of them and that's just the time it took for her to burn them onto the CDs. The photos were horrid, the experience was awful, and she charges WAY too much money (which she makes you pay up front, probably because she knows she isn't delivering a product worth what she's charging and doesn't want to risk not getting paid). It has been six months and we haven't even gotten any of our wedding photos printed because they were so bad. There is another very well trained photographer in town, Dre Photography (http://www.drephotography.net/about_dre.htm), and if I could go back in time and hire her instead, I absolutely would.
