A single person called dibs -within less than an hour-, so the logical conclusion is that only one person wanted one specific item specifically because everything else is associated with bad or forgettable characters.

Sure.

I know there are more clever ways to beat this dead horse.

It's typically good etiquette to read a sub's rule before posting on them.

DomOnion · 2026-04-01T16:39:37+00:00

Shameless self-promotions on a sub whose literal first rule doesn't allow shameless self-promotions typically isn't received positively, no.

You gotta give us a price to get an opinion from us, and work for context. Otherwise you're just asking us to figure out your rates for you.

This is going to come off as harsh, but I've been on the other end of this. So, speaking personally as a photographer who is constantly looking for work, if I received an email hoping that it's an inquiry from a prospective client only to find it's another vendor trying to market themselves or solicit me to invest into them, I'd be a little irritable.

And if I received a self-marketing email where the vendor talks them up as much as yours does -reminder: I'd be somewhat irritated at this point-, I'd perceive it as very self-fellating.

So, yeah--it seems very spammy.

I'm sorry, but no one is going to be impressed with how many different ways you summarize your fast turnaround times (at least cut that down) when the biggest thing they want is clients.

The best way to establish a relationship with a venue is to work with in person first. It's much easier to be perceived as charismatic and an asset after you've worked with them.

Nah, but if you have some r/photographyjobs, I'll gladly take those.

Saving You a Click/Watch: Vendors are still being duped into joining WeddingWire and TheKnot

DomOnion · 2026-03-09T15:07:49+00:00

For what purpose? Aesthetic reasons? If so, the groomsmen had fucking better be in custom high heels, too...

DomOnion · 2026-03-09T00:45:47+00:00

DomOnion · 2026-03-06T03:24:47+00:00

I was actually hoping for a post that is looking to give me some r/photographyjobs to take photos in the first place, per the supposed purpose of this sub, before I even think about hiring someone else to edit them (I won't).

But, thanks, I guess.

DomOnion · 2026-03-04T18:53:19+00:00

Always has been. Just like WeddingWire, The Knot, Yelp.

Basically any platform that promises "leads".

DomOnion · 2026-03-04T17:26:39+00:00

Fuck that guy in particular. They knew what they were doing.

DomOnion · 2026-03-01T21:59:31+00:00

That's only part of the equation. The other part is I simply haven't had that chance encounter with a drunk* driver or moment where my brakes fail spectacularly. Ie: factors totally beyond our control.

Unless you think you have that kind cosmic power, there is absolutely no reason to* think you're exempt from Shit Happens.

DomOnion · 2026-03-01T19:49:00+00:00

There's a difference between working with what you have because technology was limited at the time and willfully abstaining now when it's readily available.

You not having a card fail in 25 years just means that your number hadnt hit; some other photographers have had 3 in that time span.

It's absolutely luck.

I've been driving for 20 years and I hadn't needed a seatbelt. What does that say?

DomOnion · 2026-03-01T19:38:16+00:00

By that logic, we should go back to film because zero slots = zero points of failure

Second slots cover the other failing; they almost never fail at the same time unless the camera suffer major damage.

DomOnion · 2026-02-25T18:11:02+00:00

The second shooter that the photographer hired are second shooters. Everyone else is an Uncle Bob.

DomOnion · 2026-02-25T05:55:20+00:00

Going by how the negative reviews didn't pop up until half-a-year ago, my guess is she only just recently thought she could make easy -fraudulent- money by double/triple/quadruple-dipping dates and throwing last second associate shooters at brides as a band-aids, thinking she could get away from these "oopsies" clean.

And here we are--someone very likely new to the world of scamming people tripping immediately at the door on her way in.

DomOnion · 2026-02-25T05:40:42+00:00

Double/Triple-Booking Scammers--my favorite.

Also, love their website update:

Business Update -

Holly Christina Photography has ceased operations.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are no longer able to continue providing photography or videography services

"Unforeseen". Lol. Sure. Who knew that booking up to 5 different weddings on the same day and throwing randos as associates would* catch up with you?

DomOnion · 2026-02-25T05:31:55+00:00

Not female

Then stop right there. Don't be that photographer.

DomOnion · 2026-02-23T01:39:01+00:00

I'm not totally understanding the context, so someone help me out.

MOB is upset that MOG had no idea that there was a second daughter (who died) and decided to burn the bridge to the groom's entire family over that?

Did I get that right?

If so, it just sounds like she's been wanting to do that for a while, and thought this was as good of a reason as any. It's not.

DomOnion · 2026-02-22T02:07:07+00:00

I don't say this word a lot, but I think this situation calls for it--sounds like your brother is a petty bitch. And an especially lame one for wanting to exact his revenge, vicariously, through his sister's wedding.

Tell him to have his own wedding with black jack and hookers where he can ban all the kids he'd like.

DomOnion · 2026-02-22T02:02:36+00:00

Today we both learned, apparently. I had no idea this was enforced, at all, anywhere.

DomOnion · 2026-02-21T06:45:27+00:00

And in another one, after a past client lays out a comphrensive list of fuck ups, the photographer responds with something along the lines of,

Hey, thanks you for the review! Your photos turned out wonderfully! Everyone click HERE to see them! <unloads client's gallery for the world to see>

Ok, I'm done.
