    Sorry to hear of your troubles. I really hope this gets resolved soon.
    You have a couple of photos that are great... you must be very good at photoshop!

    Thanks Melinda, we were actually looking at pixels of love so I'm glad I came across this thread.

    If said photographer keeps changing the company name, why doesn't someone write a negative review of the photographer (including pictures) so the slate cannot be wiped clean with a quick company name change?

    Taken from the site:

    Do I receive a DVD with my package?

    No. We provide our clients with something significantly better. The major problem with DVDs is that they are typically rated for a period of 5 years of reliability. Our prefer’d method of delivering photographs to the client is on a customized USB flash drive that will work on just about any device you can think of and will last your life time.

    USB Flash drives are a must due to the number of files and file sizes in we provide to the client. Not only is it more reliable but a lot easier for the client to display with family and friends.
    Basic Package – $2500.00

    Coverage of Bride getting dressed, Ceremony, Formals and Bridal Party Photos (Approx 6 hours)
    1 DVD with up to 1000 edited photographs in JPEG format
    1 complimentary engagement session

    Spice Package – $3500.00

    Coverage of Bride getting dressed, Ceremony, Formals and Bridal Party Photos (Approx 6 hours)
    1 DVD with up to 1000 edited photographs in JPEG format
    1 complimentary engagement session
    Matching 10″x10″ Wedding Album & Engagement/Guest Signing Album
    One 16″x24″ full aluminum acrylic art print. No framing required!

    Full Day Spice Package – $4200.00

    Coverage of Bride getting dressed, Ceremony, Formals, Bridal Party Photos and Reception (Approx 12 hours)
    1 DVD with up to 2000 edited photographs in JPEG format
    1 complimentary engagement session
    Matching 10″x10″ Wedding Album & Engagement/Guest Signing Album
    One 16″x24″ full aluminum acrylic art print. No framing required!

    Sounds like it was someone else's pricing that was copy pasted then not edited properly.

    It sucks to say, but the whole 'you get what you pay for' thing tends to stand true. Wedding photographers are expensive as fuck, so going with a 'deal' or 'cheap' one, even though they may still seem very expensive, will probably end up costing you a lot more than money in the end.

    It's funny that they say 'edited' too, for that many photo's and what they're charging, the editing probably isn't much more than white balance and Maybe some colour correction.

    If you take anything I have to say seriously, you're gunna have a bad time.

    When I first heard photog and banned a lot, I immediately thought of someone whose name started with Dave and ended with a later letter of the alphabet. But I guess there's a larger market for banned photogs on beyond than I thought

    Kevin I know you are probably reading this, I'm giving you one week to give us our pictures, ALL our pictures as you told us at the time of contract signing, this includes the ones that you haven't edited as you promised us

    I don't care about the album anymore or the family session, give us the damn pictures
    Was there any resolution in your ordeal with him?

    Just curious because I saw this on CP and noticed the images very similar to some of the stuff he's sold on beyond in the past.

    The resolution is as follows
    Received a burned DVD with mostly unedited pictures not the customized USB as per his website
    Never received the photo album like he said he was going to provide for free but I don't care about that anymore since you can make your own at places like superstore

    If it's Kevin (Quazi/peasoup), this is very surprising as he has actually gone FAR out of this way to help R-Audi out of this exact situation before with another photographer. Doesn't seem like his usual self - not that the timing is acceptable, but maybe there is legitimately something going on outside his control. Reading this thread though, it seems there is more to the story.

    Whatever his story was its been dealt with, the mods have already dealt with it as well and have a copy of the emails that went back and forth in case this ever comes up again

    I'll be diplomatic and just say I think he's an emotionally unstable dick who's not particularly talented. That might be part of the problem.
