So I definitely did a boudoir shoot in january. It was amazing. So much fun, huge confidence booster, and literally my fiance LOVED them. (He just got them for Valentine's Day) PLEASE in addition to Jennifer Woodbery, Check out Whitney at Caught You On Camera. I decided not to use family which in the end would have been okay but I was just too nervous. Whit did an excellent job and I could not be more please. I'm pretty sure she is doing a blog post about them tomorrow if anyone is interested in checking out her work.</p> <p><a href="http://caughtyouoncamera.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://caughtyouoncamera.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>some sneek peaks are also up on her facebook page. literally the woman did a great job and made me look and feel like a Victoria's Secret model. :)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/problem-with-photographer-e-pics#post-3224447 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:51:19 +0000 continuumphotography 3224447@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if your fiance's friend is a professional, or just someone starting out... but it's very important from the photographer's perspective to establish expectations and more specifically delivery timelines before any shoot happens. &nbsp;We always give our clients a projected time frame that the engagement photos will be available by, and typically ask if there is a deadline that we need to know about. &nbsp;An engagement edit takes a lot less time to do than a wedding, so 1-2 weeks is about average.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/problem-with-photographer-e-pics#post-3223421 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:37:22 +0000 kwill2012 3223421@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>P.S.

But if you've paid and they're past due, you can definitely contact the friend who took them. It sounds like it's a bit more of a casual relationship vs business relationship (am I right there?), but that doesn't mean you're not entitled to what you paid for.</p> <p>And if it helps, you have PLENTY of time to get your save-the-dates out, so try not to panic yet. :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/problem-with-photographer-e-pics#post-3223376 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:31:27 +0000 abbie017 3223376@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Friend or no friend, you need to approach her about the pictures.&nbsp; Do it professionally, of course, and try not to sound pushy!&nbsp; Maybe something like "Hey, Sue!&nbsp; I imagine things have been busy for you lately!&nbsp; FI and I are very excited to see our engagement photos you took on (date).&nbsp; I had it marked on my calendar that you said we'd get them back last Wednesday, and I was just wondering if there is any progress or if you could let me know when we'll be receiving them.&nbsp; We're really anxious to get our save the dates going and want to include some of your photography on them!&nbsp; Thanks again!"</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/problem-with-photographer-e-pics#post-3223372 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:31:13 +0000 Baker2Be 3223372@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think you should ask her now... If she wasn't a friend, you would have bugged her about it already, I'm betting! As a vendor, she should have gotten your pictures to you whsaid he said she was going to. I would have FI talk to her, but if he won't I would talk to her yourself!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/problem-with-photographer-e-pics#post-3223362 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:28:53 +0000 cant.wait.to.be.mrs.d 3223362@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><a href="#post-3223330">@kwill2012:</a>&nbsp; Welcome date twin! &nbsp;I'm not doing an engagement session so I can't help you out in that department, but I am also way behind on save the dates! &nbsp;Are you expecting a lot of OOT guests? &nbsp;I am expecting around 20ish OOT guests so I just made sure that they knew the wedding date so they aren't blindsided with the STD. &nbsp;Don't panic yet! &nbsp;But I think that you should ask the photographer about the pictures again, but wait a couple weeks.</p>
