Aug 7, 2012

Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Edward Hannigan in June of 2012 because he lives and works near a family reunion I was planning in San Clemente, CA. He returned my initial call promptly and I could tell from our first conversation that he was going to be the right guy for the job. He showed up on time and stayed until each of the 7 families were satisfied with their individual shots. We also did large group shots, which he helped to stage after casing out our rental home, the decks and the lighting. Edward followed through on everything we agreed to and my parents, brothers and sisters and I are thrilled to have photos that will forever remind us of our 2012 Reunion. We got to know Ed and his fiancé a little bit after the shoot since it only seemed appropriate to offer him dinner and a drink after all his hard work. Thanks Edward!

Toni and her family are one of my favorite clients - they sung us with their family song on our way out the door !

Ed was dishonest from the start, is a sub par photographer at best, and cant keep his word and adhere to deadlines he set himself. His father being sick might be a legitimate reason for his inability to keep to deadlines, but his dishonesty and lack of professionalism, resorting to physical threats and use of profanity, is unacceptable in any circumstance. I made the mistake of ignoring one bad review of Ed after seeing his response to itwhich I would strongly suggest you take with a grain of salt now that I experienced the same thing. And just for the record, I made no such promisesand ended up with months of headache, excuses, ruined holidays, and an unfinished product in the end. Dont make the same mistake as me. There are plenty of better photographers (personality, professionalism, price, and photography skill) out there who deserve your businesstheres no reason to risk it with Ed. Wedding photos? LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE. The only other time Ive dealt with such a nasty person was when I bought my first car. Ed is worse than the sales manager at that car dealership, which by the way, went out of business the next year. Summary of our shoot: 36 emails (many hours you will NOT get back), countless excuses and delays, never finished the shoot, no edited pictures, no backdrops, a whole afternoon of shooting, less than a handful of useable photos (edited by myself), and a final threatening email ending with "happy f*cking new year" from Ed. I've included a quick summary of our email exchanges below but Id be happy to forward the complete email exchanges with Ed to anyone wanting to see specifics. You can decide for yourself. Oh, and by the way, this is just the things that went wrong AFTER the shoot, there were many things wrong during the shoot AND before the shoot also, including him blatantly lying. Start from the bottom if you want to follow it chronologically. Jan. 2, my last email to Ed, no response after this: Told him I feel bad for his situation but needs to hold himself to higher standards. Said to spend time with his family, forget about sending out the edited pictures. But made sure we're clear on everything that DIDN'T get done for this job, wished him happy new year and good luck with his photography business (because he needs it). Jan. 2, last email from Ed: "...don't bark orders at me unless you want this to get very very ugly. I'm in no mood for attitude...happy f*cking new year." Dec. 31 Me: Holiday is over. Get the rest of the edits out (Admittedly, I could have been nicer than this, but after reading the rest of our exchanges you'll understand. Also, this had been another 4 days past when he said he'd get it done so I'm not sure I'd consider my response barking orders and giving attitude; he's obviously never been barked at in the military). Dec. 23 Ed: Edits sent out (only 4 edited ones from a long time ago, nothing new), cant get the rest until December 27th. Takes no responsibility and blames me for ruining HIS holiday. Dec. 20 Ed: Sent the discs out, post office must have lost package, wants me to just call it a day(not write a negative review) when he send it out the next week. Dec. 20 Me: Where are the CDs? Im going to write a negative review of you. Dec. 12 (Thurs) Ed: Just sent the CD out. Dec. 11 (Wed) Me: Did you send the CD out? Dec. 8 (Sun) Ed: Running two days back (insert excuse), will send out Wed. Dec. 8 (Sun) Me: Just wanted to confirm youll be dropping the CDs off in the mail tomorrow Dec. 3 (Tue) Ed: Plan to mail everything out BY Sunday. Will get confirmation email when he drops it off. Dec. 3 Me: your few more days has turned into another week and a halfwhen do you think youll actually get the pictures done? Nov. 23 Ed: It will be a few more days. This is not about my word(What?! Not about his word?! This explains A LOT about whats wrong with him) Nov. 23 (Sun) Me: Checking inpretty late in the week nowshould I take your word and expect the pictures to get done tonight? Nov. 14 (Thur) Ed: will try to get them done by the end of weekwill have them done ASAP and my best guess is middle to late next at the worst Nov. 14 Me: Showed Ed the lesson he thought I needed to learn I had to learn while I was in college at 22. Told him I wasnt talking about his inability to keep his word as being dishonest, had to remind him of specific examples of when he flat out lied. Nov. 14 Ed: Ill get them done as quickly as possible. Thats as much time as I am willing to give to this argument. Talks about how this isnt about being dishonest, then tries to teach me a life lesson about family member getting sick and having to continue to work. Nov. 14 Me: I did not set the deadline as Im not a photographer and dont know how long editing takes, he set the deadline himself after seeing our selections. The same selections that had been set since Oct. 26th. Nov. 13 Ed: Unapologetic, blames me for having selected too many pictures. Nov. 13 Me: What is going on?...pictures supposed to be done LATEST by Sunday, now three days past that Nov. 4 Ed: Working on pics as we read/type this will have it all wrapped up this week, then we can schedule the next shoot. Oct. 31 Ed: FIOS service outblah blah, more excuseswill update tomorrow Oct. 29 Me: Didnt hear from him so asked for advice on progress and next step. Oct. 27 Ed: Looking at pictures, will let me know tomorrow. Oct. 27 Me: Emailed him the pictures we liked. Oct. 26 Ed: Some BS about why he left completely unusable pictures in. Will offer feedback on selection (never got any feedback from him btw). Oct. 21 Ed: Pictures finally up (included a bunch of completely dark pictures, pictures with our eyes closed, pictures that arent focused, and none of the vertical pictures were rotated which made them really hard to look at and pick. So Im thinking, I thought all this waiting was for him to do all these things besides just uploading the pictures.) Oct. 20 Me: Wondering why the pictures arent uploaded yet? Said theyd be up in a few days, then said working on them Thursday night and pictures will be up over the weekend, then ended up with no pictures uploaded at the end. Oct. 17 Ed: They go up this weekend. Im working on them tonightthink we got some winners there! Oct. 17 (Thurs) Me: Just wanted to check in and see if youre almost done uploading pictures from the shootThank you! Oct. 12: Finished shoot, says will get rid of the bad pictures and upload the good ones but is a couple shoots behind so pictures will take a few days.

After putting in the bid, Edward called quickly. We had a wonderful chat regarding the job for bid and what he could do. I hired him on the spot. His price was in my range and his website showed experience of exactly what I was looking for.

Edward Hannigan Photography's reply

Lori's firm is easy to work with, clear on what they want and pay quickly - what more can a photographer want. Plus, Lori's a pleasure to deal with.

Edward's talent lies in capturing a passing moment effortlessly. His ability to harness the feeling and energy of his subjects without methodically setting up the shot is evident in his photographs. Clearly his extensive experience in sports and concert photography has brought him to this level of expertise. Edward shot my son's first birthday party stunningly and delivered our prints in a beautiful keepsake box. Hopefully he'll be available for his second birthday as well. Thanks Ed. H, D & E Atkins

Edward Hannigan Photography's reply

Heather's kind words about my work underscore how easy of a client they are to work with. They gave me complete control to shoot the birthday party and I'm happy with the result, and even happier that they are pleased. I hope for Heather and her family to be long term clients.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
It's not really too complicated - just packages with different levels of time commitments and output of what prints and such a client might recieve. You can see it at my website. And custom packages are available too !
What types of customers have you worked with?
Recently, I've had the pleasure of shooting a family reunion in Dana Point, a child's birthday in Chino Hills, a commercial as a still photographer on three different locations, and a feature film again (as a stills photography) in Orange. I've also been able to do some corporate headshots and some sports photography along the way !
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Photography is often the last thing that a bride, or a newborn mother, or a proud parent of a senior graduating, or an event planner for that 50th wedding anniversary thinks of. I wish to impress this upon you regarding photography - all that work you've done, and you want pictures based on the lowest bid?
