OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Very true. I do not want to be up right now for this dentist appointment. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Sorry for the dumb question but when you have your bouquets made up with the flowers and stuff, how do you keep them "fresh" until the wedding? I'm assuming that your BM and MOH bouquet flowers are real so how do they keep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 They are actually fake flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Oh crap, haha. I didn't know, they look real! You sure fooled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 lol, they really photograph well (and look like real ones). Like the ones from my bouquet are also fake: image removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks Huntress. L is typing the letter we are sending to the photographer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 So this is the email L typed up for our photographer. We aren't banking on getting any of the deposit back but you never know I guess: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I really hope you guys get at least part of your deposit back. That guy is a jerk. He essentially stole your money and didn't provide the services. If you can, I would find photography review sites and write really bad reviews about him so others can know to STAY away.

OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 We def plan on reviewing him Fudgie. He's been in the business for over 25 years, which astounds me that I'm having this much aggrevation and feeling like I'm being the run around here. Every photographer I have talked to about the time frame for these prints are all amazed that I still don't have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Wow, B, i'm sorry to hear all of that, but damn, kudos to CS for writing that letter! Hopefully the guy will respond soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Does the guy have a Facebook page? Is he ever active on it? what did yalls contract with him say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Does the guy have a Facebook page? Is he ever active on it? what did yalls contract with him say? He does, and when he would take up to a week to respond to a call I would use my facebook stalking skills and sure enough, he was active on there. So it wasn't like he was lost on technologly. Basically all we had paid him up to this point was the deposit. Like I said, neither of us are expecting to see that but with all the hassle of it being 4 months after the shoot and still no print, L nor I feel comfortable with him shooting our wedding. What if he takes this long with wedding shots? I mean, I know they take long to get back too you but we just completely lost faith in this guy - and if I don't trust you, I'm not giving you close to $1,000 of our money to capture the most important day of our lives.\ So we are kind of going on that to see if we can at least get 1/2 the deposit back.

sherryberrypie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 i read the letter but I can't get past the photo. Aahhhhhhh! You're a bride! So pretty! Stunning! I'm so excited for you hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 hahaha,. thanks Sherry. I'm also waiting to hear back from my co worker about her price. We only need her for 4 hours (not the 8 she quoted us) so even if she takes off $150 or something, it would help. I can still pick up a bunch of shifts inbetween now and then and I have some jewelry from my ex that I still have - never got around to posting it on Ebay or something - that I could always pawn or sell. Not much but a few of the pieces are pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryberrypie Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 gold is a really good moneymaker right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Well the pieces are all sterling silver, I'm not a gold fan (I think the only gold piece I own is my gold baby ring I got when I was a year old). But I know the necklace he bought me for one Christmas brand new is still $200 and I only wore it a hand ful of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 She came down to $600 - since we are only doing 4 hours instead of 8) - and that still includes the 2nd photographer coming with her. *does happy dance* YAY!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Me teeth fell so weird since I went to the dentist this morning. I suppose that's a good thing - I had a deep clean done - and need another cleaning but that won't happen til after the wedding ($50). After that cleaning I start the process of getting my root canal done - yay. Sarcastically said of course. I about punched the dentist in the mouth though if she had scraped my gum one more time with that hook thing. I hate weird noises and the sound that thing makes as they scrap your teeth almost sent me over the edge. I literally had to start tapping my foot to ta beat in my head not to go crazy, and then she kept scraping my gums as well.... -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I love this stage my nephew is at. He's taking more and more sure steps - up to five at a time before lunging at whoever he's walking to - and he does this thing were he'll get SO excited, raise his hands in the air, and go up and down with them while doing the pig snort thing he does. So adorable. Mom was having trouble putting him to bed - and he was screaming every time we tried putting him in his bed but then he would rub his eyes like crazy when he was in the living room - so I took him and his bottle to mom's room, lied on her bed with him, and he was out in like five minutes. Then of course came the age old dance of picking the sleeping baby up (without waking him up) and putting him in his bed (again, without waking him up). I mangaged it though, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
