Photographer Due Date

CourtneyBrittain, on October 1, 2019 at 4:13 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 15
Hello All! My wonderful husband and I will have been married for two months (WOW) on Thursday, Oct. 3.

When we hired our amazing photographer, she told us to expect our photos within 6-8 weeks of the wedding date, it states that in the contract as well. If we don't have our photos by October 10, which would be 9 weeks from the wedding date, would it be inappropriate of me to just ask when we could expect them by? She gave us a "sneak peek" of 200+ photos about a month or so ago, so I don't want to seem rude.

I even double checked the contract to make sure it said 6-8 weeks, I am just excited to see all the photos!


Thanks, miss you all! Smiley heart

    I don't think it would be inappropriate at all. If she hasn't met the deadline outlined in your contract, it's only reasonable that you'd contact her to ask when you could expect the rest. It could be something as simple as she thought she hit send on an email and didn't, you never know. Hope you get them all back soon! Smiley smile

    Yes, I think it's totally fine. I'd just say something like "Hey! I noticed it's been 9 weeks since our wedding, so can we expect our pictures today? We loved the sneak peek & that was great, so I'm hoping we can get the rest today or tomorrow so we can start ordering albums for Christmas. Thanks!"

    I think that'd be fine to be like hey haven't heard from you in a while just wanted to check in regarding the remainder of the pics

    It's not rude of you to ask for something that is yours.

    Our photographer quoted us 8-12 weeks. We’ve bern married a whole month and haven’t even seen a sneak peak yet. I’m wondering if I should be worried about that.

    Congratulations! Before you worry, I would double check what your photographer promised. Ours said she would *try* to give us a sneak peek within a month but that it wasn't guaranteed. If you have a sneak peek promised in your contract, then maybe you could benefit from this advice too! LOL

    Its not rude to ask for updates on something that you paid for.
    I was be cool and breezy about it
    "Hey! Hope all is well, just wanted to check in and see when we can expect to receive the finished photos?"

    As a photographer, if I was to miss a deadline I would personally let my clients know, and give them a reason why. I’m sorry you’ve not got your photos yet. It is not inappropriate at all to ask for them.

    I was a little annoyed that she didn't let us know they were going to be later than promised, but it is what it is! As long as we get our photos by 10/12, I will be happy.
