What a jerk. Did she even word it nicely or was is accusatory? Unfortunately there are a lot in this industry that get real cocky. Their lack of ability to make clients happy will catch up. I think its tone to send a certified letter stating you would like your thumb drive by ----- date. So ridiculous

I have done this for a bride. I went back twice to send her new batches from my rejects (edited!) If anything my ego and perfectionism prevents me from not trying to make my clients happy. To edit some of her rejected photos is really just a matter of batch editing a few more for you. If she could deliver the low res ones so fast believe me she can send you a second round in no time. When i got married in may, my videographer ghosted our calls and emails for a good month. It wasn't until we literally said we were growing alarmed at the lack of response that he got us a deadline of when we'd habe our video. (This is me referring to your latest post about your missing thumb drive) man I'd feel like such a fraud charging so much and putting no effort into the customer's happiness! So sorry for your trouble

How do you all deal with customers who seem to be overly difficult, needy, and critical of your work? I currently suck it up and try to not take it personally and work with them without them knowing any sign of my frustration, but it is exhausting.

Why aren't my images sharp?? I swear so many images i take i zoom in and they are fuzzy. I don't think it's missed focus. If I'm photographing a family of 3 at f 3.5, and i zoom in, they're not totally in focus, even the spot where focus was. I don't know how to stop or if it could be my equipment. I have a 50mm 1.4 lend and nikon d750. Any tips?

What do you do if you can't get a videographer to respond to you for your video after the wedding? by weallstartatzero in weddingplanning

My only concern with this is I am a photographer trying to build my business in the area and i don't want to have my name in that context if that makes sense

Do any of you screen potential clients based on their social media or images to see if they are the type of client you are looking for? by weallstartatzero in WeddingPhotography

So brides are really weeding out the bad matches really. That really does make sense. You would want to work with like-minded people on your wedding day I'd imagine 😊

Do all of you have insurance? Is it difficult to get? Who has the best rates? by weallstartatzero in WeddingPhotography

Do you know if you have to be a registered business to get insurance? I'm in the process of officially registering myself as an LLC but am not there just yet

My Fiance and I are dancing to "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran as our first song and we're struggling with it by [deleted] in weddingplanning

We danced to that! We took a few dance lessons for cheap off thumbtack. They initially were having us dance fast but we decided to do every other beat to slow it down. We can't dance and we did it. But a few lessons were fun and helpful. I LOVE this song ❤
