How can I get my photographer to work with me on the wedding pictures package? |
I purchased an expensive photography package well in advance of my wedding, which included an engagement picture and a bridal portrait. We never had time to do either of them. How do I negotiate extra prints or an extra album in lieu of either of these or in lieu of both. The proofs from the wedding were not good and honestly, I just don't want to pose for the guy anymore!!! I'd like to just go with what we've got and get away from him. I would talk to him in person and ask him directly for what you have in mind. When you're asking for a favor (which you are), it's always best to be very polite and state exactly what you want. Not, can I get a few extra prints of something...say, instead of the portraits, I'd like to substitute 2 8x10 of this picture and 6 5x7's...please. My fiance is a photographer, and owns his own studio. He will attempt to make all kinds of reasonable accomodations for people. The truth is, he wants your repeat business or referrals, so he will most likely try to work with you. then dont m Honor your contract. After that, Why would you want extra prints if the proofs were not that good? If the proofs were not good, the pictures will not be much better. Take your best photo to a painter and have a painted portrait done. Good Luck call up the photographer and tell him you'd like to have something else beside the pciture and portrait. let him know you think what you propose hopefully may be a better deal for both you and him. fyi, i think another album will be more work for him then an hour of trying to get a portrait done. an extra prints seems more reasonable. but mentione both and see what the photographer suggests. remember you do have a contract, so they're not required to change but on the other hand they do want their customers to be happy. Be honest. Was the time issue your time or the photographers? If you didn't ever have the time, then you can't blame him, but if he was not very flexible, then you have every right to try to get more from him. The photographer does NOT want to have people complaining about his service, so he should want to work with you. Simply write down what you want (so you can more readily let him know when the time comes without getting frustrated) and then contact him to discuss the issue. If he doesn't work with you on this, report him to the Better Business Buereau. Honestly, it depends on the photographer! Some won't budge an inch, some will bend over bckwards to help you out! I would approach the topic and see what the reaction is! If he seems unmoved or bothered by your mentioning the subject, then odds are you will have a tough time. I would then suggest telling him that you would love to get the problem resolved in a manner that suits you both, and if you can come to a resolution, then you would be more inclined to give future clients a good reference. If he still seems unbothered, then I would let him know that you will be passing this information on to other brides you know and so on! Photographers get their business based on word of mouth, remind him of that, he may be more inclined to work with you. You can tell him that you would be willing to work something out with him, and this arrangement could benefit you both in the long run. First, he'd be finished with you and can spend more time with future clients, Finally, you'll give good references. Good luck! I'd hate to be in your shoes, some wedding photographers are major pains! But just remember, no matter what, he holds your proofs from your big day, so no matter what, you don't want to risk loosing access to them. |
