Home Help me, my blood is boiling!

So I previously posted that I still hadn''t received my wedding photos. Per everyone''s advice I waited for the week and called my photographer and left him a total of 3 voicemails and one email in addition to the 2 voicemails and 2 emails I had previously sent. I still have not heard anything from him and was shocked to discover that there are two weddings (AFTER the date of our wedding) that have their guest pictures available online which probably means they already have their photos. I am thinking this guy probably has a complex and doesn''t want to talk to me because I am a woman. That doesn''t make any sense at all though because I was the one who handled the coordination of the vendors and not my DH. I am just beyond frustrated and really want my photos. If for some reason this loser deleted the photos somehow (which would be terrible) I just want to know and get my money back. Any advice?

Do you know where he lives? Can you just show up rather than the phone calls?

Also, maybe have someone else call from a different phone number - if he''s ducking your calls he might answer this way.

Worst case, I''d email from another address to set up a consultation and potential booking and meet up at a nearby coffee place (with your DH of course) and confront him.

I would file a complaint with the better business bureau. That kind of crap really gets to me! Is it soooo hard to do you job properly these days? *sigh*

Dig out your contract (I certainly hope you signed one, and got a copy of it). I second the suggestion of someone else calling from a different number - there is no reason for you not to have your shots up yet if two other weddings after yours have come through. If he continues to ignore you, let him know you can sue him for breach of contract. A lot of times this lights a fire under their butt.

You never know, he may have had a bad day and not gotten as many photos as normal, and he feels bad for possibly missing some of the "big" shots of the night. This is his way of avoiding the problem, but he still has to pony up.

I would stay as nice as you possibly can while he is in possession of your pictures.

Have your husband call next week!

Sorry

I would try to keep it civil as long as possible since he could be spiteful and give you bad pics if he''s a small person (there''s nothing in most contracts about guaranteeing the photos be good).

It''s also possible he''s embarrassed at his tardiness or ran into an unexpected problem with your photos and is just afraid to tell you (hope not though!).

Anyways, best of luck in getting them!

I''m hoping your pictures are up... maybe the other couple had paid extra to speed up the receipt of their photos... I dont know. Check your contract and see when photos were promised to you... and bring that up. If still nothing, maybe unleash the hubs.
