How long did it take to get your wedding photos back?

We are now 2 months past our wedding and I do not have them in my hands yet and I am going a little crazy! lol I have had our wedding website for a couple of weeks now, but am still waiting for the actual digital files to be sent to me so we can post & print.

Just curious how long people usually have to wait. I'm hoping we will have ours within the next week.

    We have our online Album now so we can order prints ( 3.5 weeks since the wedding) but we won't get the digital ones that I can actually share for a few more weeks I think. Its driving me crazy as well as I just want to post my wedding pictures already!

    So glad you asked this! We were married last week and we haven't even received the link with the raw, unedited photos yet. I know the edited ones with take a month to deliver (per our contract), but I am so excited to get a sneak peak!

    I have been waiting a total of 22 weeks. Our photographer has only responded to us in the last month. Her response being we would have them "next week for sure". That was over two weeks ago. Only after contacting her again she replied they would be done over the weekend. Still nothing.

    What is my next step!?
    I have seen her work and it is done very well, she took charge at the wedding and I believe got a lot of great photos. She has been a professional photographer for 10+ years.

    As a photographer myself, I can just say that editing takes foreeeverr. Also, many wedding photographers take thousands of pictures throughout the day! They’re better not rushed!

    That makes total sense. I totally respect the process. That being said , my contract says approx 10-12 weeks and it has been 23 at this point, she has responded a couple times to multiple text, but still no photos. Is this normal? As a photographer yourself do you have any advice as how I should move forward at this point?
    Thanks.

    We are just shy of our 5 month wedding anniversary. We got a "sneak peak" of 3 photos about a month after the wedding. Then we got a link to a folder that only has candid reception shots. We have 0 from the actual ceremony, and 0 from the family/extended family/bridal party photos after the ceremony. Our photographer has stopped returning calls or emails as well. The contract didn't have a time frame at all. Any advice on how to handle this?


    Thanks!!

    Me and my husband got married on the 9th june this year and i still haven't received our photos yet. Im furious. I keep emailing photographer and she gives me so many excuses. Im thinking of taking legal action now . She said on the 12th oct they were going to print but still nothing. Fed up is not in it.

    We were married November 3 and still have not gotten ours. Our sneak peek was 5 photos. At this point I'm worried I wont be able to use the groupon I got for the gifts I planned on making for Christmas (hoping to do for mother's and Father's day now)

    Be glad yours showed at all.
    Ours blew us off for a " bigger better job." We were never told until I contacted to confirm everything. Ours now requires suing.
