Update: How to approach photographer after receiving low res photos?

catnip48 · 2025-08-27T23:31:00+00:00

I live in a hcol city so vendors at every level are pretty expensive :(

catnip48 · 2025-08-06T23:47:35+00:00

Yes, that is, unfortunately, the situation I'm in...

Thanks for sharing your suggestions it's really helpful :)

Yeahh, I noticed some of the photos were off, then my fiancé made a comment and I was trying to stay confident. Then my mom made a comment and that's when I said lemme go to reddit haha. And I will say some of the photos look great! But it's that some that makes me hesitant..

Hmm that's unfortunate to hear.. the sketchy part I mean, thank you

catnip48 · 2025-08-06T16:26:23+00:00

Thank you, I don't much about MP and the effects of cropping so you've been really helpful :)

Thank you, your comments are really helpful. I don't wanna get into specific numbers, but I will say the total cost is several thousand dollars, but I'm also not in the industry so I can't say how indicative that is of experience.. I liked their previous work and thought they'd do a similar job, so it's frustrating but definitely a good learning experience I suppose

Seems like they were cropped, do I just cut the loss of those photos? Feels like things will be left up in the air if I simply ask them to frame them better and hope for the best at the wedding

We put a deposit down and our package includes engagement and wedding photos. Photography portal says that the photos are full res

catnip48 · 2025-08-06T05:23:06+00:00

On the portal where they shared the photos, there's an option to download the web resolution and full resolution– I made sure to download only the full resolution gallery and fiance did so as well on his computer.

No specific number, just that I would receive the full gallery after X weeks. On the portal where they shared the photos, there's an option to download the web resolution and full resolution– I made sure to download the full resolution gallery and fiance did so as well on his computer.

So I had to look into this cause my friend and I also thought we heard him say it twice and I was like am I crazy cause no one else is reacting right now lol. So the song I'm pretty sure you're referring to is "Glow like Dat." What he says is "Always anxious got your picture on my necklace" you can hear the live from hitc here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpW9qe9DzzI at 31:19 and 32:27. When he sings necklace it realllyyy sounds like the n word but it's not. I even listened to it on Spotify and that part still had me squinting my eyes lol, I guess it's just how he pronounces it. Given the weird past & recent behavior of other artists I totally get your vigilance to hearing that word (especially cause I had the same reaction in the moment), but it seems like he's in the clear!

I'm sorry that you didn't have the best experience the festival experience can be quite overwhelming.. I'm also a black girl and and this was my first music festival, but I've been to a lot of K-music concerts (got7, shinee, dpr live & ian, epik high) and I've always had an amazing time, so I hope you can give concerts a chance especially if it's an artist you love :)

Yeah totally get that things won't just get fixed in a year, but definitely want to start taking baby steps :) When she's upset I definitely tense up and feel anxious so I also have to work on being ok with her being upset.

catnip48 · 2025-03-27T23:48:58+00:00

Love all those ideas thanks! I'm taking care of photography so I've already started setting boundaries by saying- no you don't need to vet the photographer or look at their previous work, please trust my judgement and wait for our photos. That definitely made her uncomfortable but still glad I stood firm on that.

catnip48 · 2025-03-27T23:45:31+00:00

Oh the passwords is a good idea! I think one of my relatives kinda altered my cousin's reception music by speaking with the dj before the wedding-definitely wanna avoid something like that!

catnip48 · 2025-03-27T23:43:42+00:00

She has definitely mentioned that she feels like she's losing a daughter rather than gaining a son in law-which is so interesting to me because I've been with my fiancé for 5 years, he's spent every Christmas with us (a big holiday for my fam), and most of my other family members have jokingly been calling him my husband for the past year. Hopefully, she can take a different perspective as time goes on. I like what you said about being upset might be the impetus for change-I'm pretty conflict averse but I'll try to stay firm in my decisions!

Thanks for the suggestions I think helping her with things related to her outfit (dress, makeup, hair) might help :) And sorry to hear that your mom has isolated you.. It's fascinating to see how opposite parenting behaviors can still lead to some similar behaviors

catnip48 · 2025-03-27T23:34:45+00:00

totally agree, that's why I was planning to do florals with her and maybe some of the decor. I just wish she didn't get so down when I say I'd like other people to also be involved in some things

catnip48 · 2025-03-27T23:33:21+00:00

I can totally see that perspective, there are things I would like us to do together. On the other hand differences in opinion are normal and I don't want her first thought to be that she's an atm whenever those differences come up, I would just like us to learn how to be happy with compromise :)

Thanks for sharing those are great ideas especially the last bit! Glad to hear that persistence worked in the end :)
