I had a bride and a groom come in last month. She was crying. I asked what happened. She told me that she had a friend photographed her wedding. A graduate from film school. “ A Newbe or budget photographer”. She had spent over $35,000 for her day and her only memories were fuzzy, distorted and not to mention dark, and no life to any of her 500 pictures. She was losing hope. After approaching 4 other photographers for help and all said no, she needed a Yes. The bride told me she wished she had done more research before hiring. In desperation she asked if I could fix the devastation.
I need a second for this one. Here was the dilemma, garbage in and make something beautiful out.
After 2 hours, I told her I can do an album for her and fix the pictures the best I can. She agreed and we came to a fair price for all.
We retook brand new pictures of her and her husband last week. She had to get her dress cleaned and new flowers made, plus makeup and hair. The groom rented a tux. Now here is something extra I did, at No charge for the photo shoot. Now as you figured out I could not turn back time, but I could give a new perspective to the day.
To conclude, my new client now has 2 albums. One of the actual day and the other of what she really wanted. I bet I get referrals form this… or at least a new friend.
