That's rubbish!

You considering any sort of compensation claim against them?

It's just a woman, she does it part time.

tbh I could do better and I have never done wedding photography before

if she is using this http://www.tracyellisphotography.co.uk/gallery_237768.html as part of her portfolio she shouldn't be getting business - the shot 3rd from the right is appaling!

however... I can see the feeling that she is trying to get from her photos... but she is overcooking it with all the colour popping  :sick:  the image on that example page furthest on the right makes the happy couple look like they are holding two glasses of piss

The DVD of her work she showed us beforehand was great, obvious all staged to get our business.  She kept trying to pick out colour on our photos as well, so we purposely didn't pick any of those ones.

We paid £460 for the package, then when I said I wanted the original pictures she charged us another £250!!

She does everything with just the stock lens as well.  Some of the pictures were taken by her "mate that was helping out".

She only took about 150 pictures too!

her ye olde photoshoppe skillz don't seem that good... she isn't placing people at the right angles or on the right 'thirds' - thats why some of them don't work... in others shadows etc are too prominent and her contrasts don't seem to hot either

hope you manage to sort it out

I paid £250 for the photos so that I could Photoshop them myself  :grin:
