So while the photographer, Bruce Benson, at our wedding took some nice pictures, he gets the grade of F. Let me tell you why.
He lied. He ignored. He was just not easy to deal with.
Our wedding was in January - he told us since our wedding was in the off season we would have the cd's with our pictures on them in 2 weeks (this normally takes 8 weeks he told us). Well, 8 weeks after the wedding I hadn't heard from him. So I called - he set up an appointment for us to come pick up the cd's. He didn't bring the cd's. UGH. Brought us the cd's over three consecutive days the next week (why he couldn't bring them all at once escaped us).
Going through the pictures I took notice of a lot of pictures missing...
-pictures from before the ceremony of Trevor, of our friends, of the string quartet...all pictures that friends told us after the wedding had been taken
-our first kiss. Can you believe a wedding photographer missed this one?
-a huge family shot that I know the photographer was there for
-the bouquet toss
Sadly I could go on. Fortunately friends and family have pictures of most of these moments.
We asked for explanation over why the pictures were missing. Never got one. He just kept ignoring my emails and calls. Finally Trevor emailed him. Guess what? The guy wrote back to him right away apologizing for the terrible service. UGH. Finally last week (6 months after the wedding) we received the developed proofs. I will not use him to produce our wedding albums, I will not recommend him to friends.
Please don't use this photographer: http://www.brucebensonphoto.com/
Regardless, we had a great day. This is one of my favorite photos - are you surprised that it is yet ANOTHER photo that the "professional" photographer missed?? This photo was taken by Trev's aunt - I'm making a kissy face at her six-year-old.
