Well on Saturday I was at my Brother-in-Laws wedding, owing to a technical problem I had no camera, a little gutted but thought well they hired a professional he will get the shots and I can spend the time drinking !!!

OH DEAR - OH DEAR - OH DEAR !!!!

Now I'm not going to name names .. but this PERSON is not cheap and claims to be a member of various bodies but the images they have just posted on thier website are just shocking, numerous basic errors, throughout of which some could have been fixed by PS, but clearly no or little PS work on the images.

I have seen the quality of work, by wedding togs on this forum and heck that is the quailty I would expect form this person.

I feel gutted for my Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law as I can't see that they won't realise that the images are just so far below the standard I would expect.

I can't even pick which ones are the worst as there are so many.

Looking at his website he can clearly take a good picture, but failed to perform on Saturday ... ok so we all have one of those days, but I guess rule number 1 of being a Wedding Tog is make sure it isn't a day your doing a wedding !!!

:( :( :( :( :(
 
Your brother in law got married to your sister in law :eek: :thinking: :nono: :gag:
 
your thoughts are irrelavent, not your wedding. bit of a pointless thread this TBH

Well, i would be annoyed too.

My family took my wedding shots, 16 years ago. Very happy with them. We got married abroad.

His wife's brother or sister got married to someone outside of the immediate family. Which is how you can attend your brother-in-law and sister-in-law's wedding (I think).

Wouldn't one of them be your cousin? Wouldn't they end up on Jeremy Kyle? :thinking: This stuff always confuses me! :lol:

Do the photos of their wedding differ substantially from the photographer's portfolio?
 
See what THEY think. If they are happy then all you are going to do by bringing this up is to upset them so I would just leave it. Seriously only harm can come from this.

But an expensive supposedly well qualified Tog who turns out dross is something we should all be made aware of,pity that he cant name him presumably for legal reasons but it does help to make all who are planning a wedding aware of some of the pitfalls

The OP didn't say expensive. Not cheap could be a relative term ;)

Ah, NOW being the operative word! Eight of us at work have just had a huge debate/argument/near-fight about this! haha


Back on topic, as I said earlier are the photos of the wedding far inferior to his portfolio? If so, then there may be some room for manoeuvre. The cost isn't relevant here, it would appear to be more a case of misrepresentation of the quality of workmanship, but it would have to be a very obvious difference to a general member of the public's eye.
 
I think as toggers we tend to notice things others wouldnt blink twice at so if they are happy with the images provided then its no point upsetting them by telling them they arent up to scratch...

What you might want to do instead is point them in the direction of the toggers gallery and let them see for them self if they are happy with the images they got in comparison to the ones on the site... If they then think the images arent up to scratch im sure they will contact them and work something out.

Not what the OP said.

He said that he attended his Brother in Law's wedding on Saturday.

Having seen the pictures he says that he feels gutted for his Brother in Law and Sister in Law.

Absolutely correct.

A link to the pictures would help, as would naming the photographer, although that may be difficult given some of the comments made.

He also said that his brother in law and his sister in law will be gutted, read the OP.

She is technically not your sister in law, only a sibling of your spouse is an in law, their spouses are just that, spouses.

I know I quoted that in my post, I read the OP

But he did not say that the Brother in Law and the Sister in Law are the married couple.
He just said that they would be gutted - read the OP.

:plusone: If they are happy with the results themselves I would not even mention that they are not good quality in your opinion. If you do say anything they could end up hating them or finding faults in them that they themselves would never have spotted. If they so mention they are unhappy then help them out as much as you can ie as per above do the pictures significantly vary from the quality on their website/portfolio? If they do then they might be able to pursue this.

Sort this one out then - my wife's brother's wife is my sister...
 
Close - I married my sister's husband's sister.

Or to be completely accurate, my sister married my girlfriend's brother and I later married that girlfriend.
 
Appologies for the confusion ..

Ok so I attended my Brother-in-Law's (to clarify my Wife's Brother) wedding and I refered to his NOW wife as my Sister-in-Law (if that isn't the case woops, but I think it sums up thier relationship to me) [Actually I'm more confused now]

I am certinaly not going to mention this to them and hope they will like the photo's, but the group shot is just very poor (can't specify reasons) and a specific photograph they asked for just didn't happen, not even close !!

I admit that I might see things other won't but in the case of the group photograph the TOG may as well not have bothered.

To clarify I said not cheap as I don't know precisely what they paid, but the TOG starts at £1000 going all the way to multiples of that figure.

And in the photographers defence he will have it written in his contract that certain shots may just not happen and will not be guaranteed.

OK, some Wedding togs post straight out of camera before ANY post processing so those images that you say can be fixed, probably will be if said images go forward for album or print sales ?
Click to expand...

Agree with this.
Some togs will take a lot of pics, delete the crap and still end up with a lot of pics. If the bride and groom gets to choose. e.g. 80 pics for an album, these are the ones he will PP.

Absolutely.

I took a few quicky shots of my friends kids at the weekend as I happened to have the camera with me. Looked alright on LCD, but when I got them home thought "oh crap". Several issues that required a fair bit of PP to rescue. Still wasn't happy but emailed them over.

She's over the moon.

Personally, I thought 3 of them were garbage that should have been destined for the bin..

Mind you, we're not talking about payment for my ones so there is a distinction!
