Dimock Photography

This review is filled with half truths and outright lies. Point one, that I only took 4 out of 30 must have photos. A half-truth.I had the pinterest shot list with me the entire time and would refer back to it to make sure we were taking all of the shots that she requested. Most of the shots that were not taken was because she decided not to go to the outdoor location that we had planned (or because she simple did not want to do them). The reason? She didn't budget enough time and her dress was ill-fitted and she was very uncomfortable. We literally drove around the block, after which she decided she need to go back to the hotel to rest before the reception. The real reason this bride is unhappy is becasue she neglected to provide a posed shot list. I reminded her three different times prior to the wedding to do so. As a result there was ONE photo that she wanted but which was not taken--a picture of her, her sister and her mother. There were multiple photos of her, multiple photos of her mother, and multiple photos of her sister. I explained to her that, had she provided the shot list as I requested, I would have happily taken the photo. She had over 150 posed photos of family and friends to choose from. Does that sound like I had a difficult time giving direction? Following the wedding she got angry when I refused to offer her free product for compensation due to my "mistake". She wanted over $300 worth of free prints. Given that I charged her only $650 for the entire day (a 60% discount off my regular rate), I found her request to be unreasonable. The "white blurs" she refers to are called catch lights. They are a desired feature of any photograph, as I tried to explain to her. In my 25 years of photographing weddings, I have never had a bride complain about catch lights. In summary, this is a case of a bride searching for something to be wrong so that she could get free product, a curious stance from someone who thinks my work is so awful.
