Joe is a true scam artist. First he came to my house with a pretty impressive album and laptop showing us a wedding that he just recorded. He talked a good game and we signed a contract which seemed legit and descriptive. He told us we needed to pay half then which was $1,750 When it came time to take the engagement photos, our schedules never meshed well sow we did without on the promise that he would give us 2 16 by 20s along with our other enlargements and we were satisfied with that.
The day of the wedding Joe arrived at our hotel 45 mnutes late with no phone call with some teenager who was supposed to be our 'professional' photographer assistant. He was teaching him while taking my pictures. We had to instruct him on pictures to be taken. For example, pictures of me getting dressed and makeup. We have over 25 pics of my shoes and flowers ridiculous! We were so suprised as tot the attire he showed up in. His tux was so tight and looked as if it had been from the 80s and slept in. His assistant was in a shirt and tie.
There are no pictures of me with my daughter which is heartbreaking, no pics of the groomsmen waiting and he had plenty of time bc we were so early. My 2 foot train is cut off in every pic and the shots of me coming in with my dad are awful. He had no idea what he was doing.
Once the ceremony was over he wasted almost an hour taking individual shots of us with each bridal party member. We wanted a broad street shot and billy penn was cut of in every shot.
We then got to our reception where he disappeared! He was in the cocktail room putting our pics on disks. We have the most random shots of our reception empty tables, waitstaff r u serious? I bought flip flops for all my girls and wanted a pic nope none. At the end of the night he handed my husband a disk with all our pics and said here they are. Everytime we would call for our pics and video he said the lab messed up our video wasnt ready or our album hadnt come in yet. He is such a scammr. I feel horribble especially because my dad dies 2 months after my wedding. We need 2 bring this man to justice. ANy other scammed brides out there I would love to cha about this!!! It has been 1yr and 4 months and we still have nothing!!!
