Looking at the brochure, I'm surprised it's within their budget. (Cheapest package $2500, 75% payable upfront ... Deposits are not refundable. 100% Full balance payable at least two weeks prior to the wedding day.)
To be honest, the photos appear OK to me (nothing too fancy though) - but their website does not present them well.

Yea Rob .. I was very surprised to see the package prices on there, but Ive been led to believe that theyve struck a very basic, cheap shoot & burn deal.
No matter ... Im kinda glad its been taken out of my hands now, cause I dont really like turning work down, and now I dont have to.
After looking at the link for their chosen operator, they are paying top $$ for what displays as very ordinary wedding photography. That standard is what I think is typically seen with the $1000 click & burn operators.
Bet they are amazed at the increased number of hits on their site. Makes me consider moving into the industry more seriously.

You may have a point Wayne ... however, I think thats a bit of a generalisation at the same time. A mate of mine got married on an island in the Whitsundays and paid mega bucks for very average images. On the other hand, my sister in law paid less than $1000 for her photographer and the images are fantastic. I guess it can go either way![]()
I remember your past posts on this great couple. You had so much trouble with them then, I think now they could be much worse. Please think this trough carefully, Your name is at stake here! Good luck with your decision.

Yea I updated this thread last night guys. I wont be doing it. Twice bitten, thrice youre just an idiot, as they say![]()
will you be surprised if they contact you again?
was the wife the main trouble or is the husband just as bad, if hubby is unaware of the circumstances I feel very sorry for him!
yeah you may get to do his wedding again in a few years time if you are lucky(?) lol
