BIG Kudos to Story By Photo, Sunbride and BDW! *Pics Included*

Hello ladies,

 

As many of you know (I think that’s a slight understatement, lol) I had problems with my wedding photographer and the photos we got…

(if, for some reason, you missed that thread, there’s a link to it in my

siggy :-))

 

After I posted my review, I honestly was overwhelmed with how many offers of help I got from so many of you lovely ladies and vendors on this site!

I actually had TOO many offers of help, from re-touching, cropping, editing the photos to actually designing album pages for me!

I couldn’t have possibly taken everyone up, but I seriously appreciated every offer and want to thank EVERYONE who took the time to help me, or even offer to help… One member Jess H., whom I’m not sure if she’s on here much anymore, even offered to design all my album pages on Photoshop for me.

 

But I really owe a HUGE thank you and thumbs up to both Story by Photo is the worlds Leading Destination Wedding Photographer, husband and wife team bringing over 15yrs of experience.

and Sunbride!

 

Sunbride offered to crop many of my photos that had been taken from so far away, it was like we were in a Where’s Waldo book! VERY kind of her to do, especially since she was super busy in her personal life.

 

And Gino and Heather from Story By Photo kindly offered to edit some of the photos that CLEARLY needed editing to make them usable… Basically, they offered to “polish the turds†we we'd been given :-)

They were extremely generous with their time and expertise.

 

And while they didn’t have much to work with (i.e. the size of many of the pictures was too small to really do much with them) -- they did a great job & I wanted to share some examples...

Obviously, some of the changes are slight, but I think they make the pictures look waaay better:-)

 

I actually decided to design my own page layouts, and have actually just recently received the flush-mount album I ordered…

And I LOVE it – THANKS TO ALL THE HELP I GOT FROM YOU GUYS!

 

 

I’ll post a thread soon on the finished product:-)

I'm so happy for you that your photos could be improved and

 

YAY for BDW and the awesome people on here that really come together to help each other out!

I'm sorry you had to experience such an awful photographer, what was he thinking taking the pictures from so far away? how could he think you'd be happy with those photographs. At least you had the chance to fix everything though with the help from othersand now your pictures look beautiful!

So awesome that you had so many people come forward to help you out! It's amazing how proper editing can help even the most facked up pics!

It's great that you managed to salvage your photos...What a nightmare to have to go through! I think photos are one of the most important elements of a wedding.
