Wedding Pictures are Late...

Rachel, on September 23, 2019 at 7:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

An acquaintance on Facebook recommended a photographer and I liked his work so I hired him.


In his contract, he states "Due to the artistic nature of photography, completion dates

are only tentative, however, every effort will be made to remain within a 6-8 week

delivery schedule."


I messaged him on the 10th week to see what was going on and to see when he would have them ready. He said that he would have them by the week. This was back on September 14th and I STILL don't have the pictures.


I'm upset and frustrated. I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone experienced this?

    I understand your frustration, but technically they aren’t late since he left himself wiggle room in the contract so no way to use the contract to force him to produce the pics...But I would personally call and/or email him every few days until I got my photos back! Hopefully you pestering him will motivate him to get you the pics so you stop bothering him lol Good luck!

    Hi Rachel! I’m sorry that you are still waiting for your wedding photos. You must be so excited to relive your beautiful day through them. As the pp mentioned, if your contact doesn’t give you an exact timeframe for returning your photos, then he technically isn’t late. Would it be possible to contact him to ask exactly what is causing the delay?

    Although not as exciting as your actual wedding photos I'm sure, I'm still waiting on my engagement photos. We actually won a free session by attending an open house at our venue. We got them done on August 31st and the photographer told us 2 weeks, which would have been September 14th. This past Saturday, the 21st, she made a Facebook post saying she's been really busy and if people are waiting on stuff from her to be patient and she would email everyone back on Sunday. I didn't get anything and I'm trying to give her a few more days before I email her. I don't want to come off as rude or pushy but we're so excited to see them, as is all our friends and family, so I guess I feel your pain in a sense. It's super frustrating for sure! I hope you get your photos back soon!

    Yeah this is hard. I know it said 6-8 weeks but he did say his best effort. So while you are on week 10 and I think thats a tad unacceptable I don't think theres anything you can do to enforce it :/ That really sucks!
