Nervous bride, maybe overthinking

Kayla, on July 19, 2021 at 9:18 PM Posted in Planning 0 4
Hey guys, has anyone heard of Tolman media of New England? I booked it for my wedding in September but I’ve only seen one review. I’m assuming that wedding wire wouldn’t allow anything “fake” on here? I have talked to our photographer and our videographer but only over the phone once. They said they would reach out again in a could weeks before the wedding. But I don’t know maybe I’m overthinking?

    Its pretty typical for a photographer/videographer to hold a final meeting with you about a month before your wedding. However, I'd say its a little unusual to have so little communication otherwise. Was this conversation before or after you booked them? Are you confident that they have your date reserved (ie did you pay a retainer or sign a contract)? Looking at their website, it appears that Tolman is more of a photography management company who matches you with a photographer in your area, and not so much a traditional local photographer, which would explain the lack of communication.

    If your wedding is really 2 months away its kind of late to do typical engagement photos, but maybe see if they can offer you a practice shoot or small engagement session so that you can meet them and get a feel for their style and personalities before your wedding day. At the least, I would push them on having an additional phone call or in-person meeting soon.

    Yes we did pay a deposit and sign a contract. Maybe I’m just overthinking I just thought the lack of communication was a little weird.

    Hi Kayla! Are they a nationwide company? I've found a ton of reviews for their DC, NC, and Utah locations but not for their New England branch:

    Tolman Media Photo + Video (DC)

    Tolman Media (UT)

    Tolman Media North Carolina

    That’s what I was told, they find people near you to be your photographer and videographer
