How long did you wait for your engagment pictures? - The DIS Discussion Forums

MainStMandy · 10-17-2009, 11:35 AM

Tuesday will be 3 weeks since our engagment pictures. I haven't heard from Randy and he hasn't emailed me back yet. I also noticed that brides who had their wedding after our e-pics have already gotten their pics yet (more important, I understand). How long should we expect to wait? I figured the whole shoot was only 40 minutes so there can't be that many pics.

Lindsay22 · 10-17-2009, 12:43 PM

We got preview pics 3-4 weeks after our shoot and then all of our pics 5-6 weeks later. It was almost 8 weeks before we got our wedding pics back.

I spoke with Karen Chandler at Disney Photography on Thursday as we have not received our wedding pictures online and our wedding was 4 weeks ago!

She told me that they are VERY far behing due to the number of weddings in September (ours was 9/16) and we should receive ours next week.

I am starting to worry a little.

I want to say mine took about 3-4 weeks, but Nathan told me it would a few weeks at the end of the session. We got a few sneak peek pics at about 2 weeks.

Did Randy mention when you could expect them? I think now is a really busy time in the area for weddings, I know our florist said it would be a while before he could get a proposal to me since it was so busy with weddings in FL.

I would maybe give it another week, unless you need the pics for a specific purpose, and try calling when you do, he may just be behind in his emails.

I don't need them...I am just getting very nervous about them and anxious to see them. I viewed his other e-pis and they don't look anything like what we did. I guess I will just keep waiting.

torsie24 · 10-17-2009, 04:56 PM

We had our photos taken 12 days ago and just got them today.

I was over the moon as I wasn't expecting them for a couple of weeks yet as I know it is a very busy time of year, our session was about 90 minutes with over 600 photos - and of course weddings will be taking photographers editing priorities as people are paying thousands for them.

If I hadn't of had them after a month I have probably sent an e-mail and asked. So maybe wait a week more. I know that just sorting out my vacation photos takes me an age, let alone if you were having to do it for customers.

pezaddict231 · 10-17-2009, 04:57 PM

Oh believe me, I know what you mean. I wanted to see mine the next day...but the photographers have other ideas

. I just meant if you were planning on sending something out and you really couldn't wait better to just call him now.

I don't think there's any reason to get nervous, and I'm sure he'll get them to you soon. He should have returned your email though to let you know it would be a little longer. If it is really bothering you, there's nothing wrong with calling him. It'll let him know you're anxious to see them and make you feel better.

I generally hate calling people, so I would put it off until I really had to.

MainStMandy · 10-17-2009, 04:59 PM

Thanks girls. I guess I am just being impatient. I just feel like everyone else is getting their picutres but me!! Lol. Victoria your pictures were beautiful!!

torsie24 · 10-17-2009, 05:02 PM

Thanks Mandy. I understand being impatient to see them. I was very excited to get ours too, but was expecting a few weeks wait, so certainly don't feel worried at all. It's quite an involved process I think.

I'd worry more if you got them after a day or two, as it'd show that there hadn't been much care put into choosing the good ones.

Dr.Cinderella · 10-17-2009, 08:18 PM

I have been trying to contact Randy myself for about a week to pay for our engagement shoot, and he hasn't responded to my emails. I thought maybe he might be on vacation or something?

I haven't called him yet...did you try that? I just shot him an email to see if our pics were ready.

acwinsett · 10-17-2009, 09:41 PM

Our engagement photos from Misty took about three weeks and it seemed like AGES! By the time we selected the photos for "advanced edits", the advanced edits were completed and we received our DVD with the photos on them, it was more like 5 or 6 weeks from the time we took them. No worries . . . I'm sure they'll be worth the wait!

MainStMandy · 10-18-2009, 10:46 AM

Thanks Andreah! I guess I am just being impatient. I am still nervous and anxious to get them but I guess I just have to wait!

MainStMandy · 10-19-2009, 06:39 PM

Just an updated...no pictures and no contact from Randy. I am sure I am overreacting but it's been 4 days since I emailed him.

Dr.Cinderella · 10-19-2009, 07:34 PM
