what is the average time to wait...

Jennifer, on June 27, 2011 at 3:51 PM Posted in Married Life 0 23

For your professional wedding photos?

Its been three weeks and I havent heard a peep from the photographer. should I be worried?

for those of you who are already married, how long did you have to wait to get your pics?

mind you, I havent even received a "teaser" pic, either. ugh.

    Mine told me it could be 4-6 weeks. However, he provided a couple of teaser photo's about a week and a half later. They have now almost got all of my pictures uploaded to their website for me to view as of last night.

    I got a link to a website with all my pictures in about 2 weeks and a disk with all the pictures a few days later. But our photographer was a family friend so I'm not sure what the norm really is. I say send a quick email just asking what the time frame is. But like Brian said... it is wedding season so they're probably just a little busy.

    Thats awesome Brandi! So happy for you!

    I soooo wanna send her an email, but I also dont want to bother her, too.

    I have complete faith that she will come through (she did a great job on the e-pics and the b-pics). Im no worried about that part.....

    but just a little tease doesnt hurt, right? *sigh*

    I think my photographer said it could be 6-8 weeks for ours but am not sure 100%. I know for our e-pics, it took 1.5 weeks to get the proofs and that was for almost 300 pictures.

    I am sure it varies.

    Had two teaser pics after a week.

    Sneak peek in about 2 weeks.

    Online gallery at 3 weeks.

    Complete two disks just before a month.

    My photog promises 3 pics (teasers) within 3 days. He says he gets pics back in 2-3 weeks. But most of the other ones I talked to said 6-8 weeks.

    My friend just got married (June 3), and her photog told her it could be August. So about 8 weeks. She told her this before the contract was signed though so it was expected.

    I was married June 4th and think we got our online gallery by early August. So 2 months. I definitely expected a longer wait due to prime wedding season and he already warned me he was shooting 2 weddings in Europe right after ours.

    A certified copy of the license is just as good as the original. Smiley smile We didn't have to sign ours, so it isn't sentimental in anyway. We just got cert. copies for the legal name change etc. (which i haven't done yet...don't know if I will).
