How long did it take to get your wedding photos from your photographers?

Madelin, on January 5, 2021 at 4:11 PM Posted in Married Life 0 28
Hi all! I'm just wondering how long typical photographers wait until delivering the wedding photos. I got married seven weeks ago and I haven't received mine. I did, however, get sneak peeks a couple days after the wedding. How long did you have to wait to receive yours?

    Not sure. Tbh I never really read it. On our wedding day they said we should receive it in 5 weeks so I went off of that. I'm not mad or anything, just very eager and a teeny bit impatient.

    Honestly, I think 6-8 weeks is average. We got our’s in probably 5-6 but I can’t remember to be exact.

    Every photographer is different and that’s why they put it on their contract. Check your contract, if you were supposed to get them within fewer than 7 weeks then reach out and ask.
    Mine was 30 days

    I got married October 10th, 2020 and didn't receive my photos until early December. I think it just depends on your photographer and how busy they are. Mine was super busy and had so many weddings and photo sessions during the fall season. I ended up emailing our photographer to see when I will receive our photos and she kindly responded. So doesn't hurt to ask!

    I'm a little scared to ask. I follow them on Instagram and I can see how busy they are. I've just been waiting it out, but I am curious how long others have had to wait.

    It didn't say much. It only mentioned the end of the contract which would be a month after the date which is when the pictures and video would be delivered.

    We got ours after 8 weeks. Our contract said 10 weeks max so it was within contract.

    Hello. I see that you made another post about this and I do understand that you said that you don't want the general timeline but I would look at your contract. Mine said up to eight weeks but I got mine within a month. However that was also during a time when I don't think they had a ton of weddings so what could be a factor is how busy your photographer currently is working on other weddings and photos.

    That could be a factor. I think they had weddings and photoshoots just about every weekend around the time and after my wedding. I'm not upset, I was just curious how long other brides had to wait. Also, I don't recall making another post about this subject, but I appreciate the info and insight 😊

    Then I mistaken you for somebody else but hey it is evening and I'm tired and it's been a busy day hahaha. Well I think it's maybe just the holidays because my photographer that I had an IV followed him on Instagram and I saw that they were traveling quite a bit too but I hope you get your picture soon.

    It should say in your contract when you will receive your photos by. 6-8 weeks is standard. We got ours in 7.
