The photographer was kind and pleasant to work with. Prior to the event, she did inform me that she is an ambulatory wheelchair user and reassured me that it would not be an issue, explaining that she only needed to sit after standing for a period of time. However, during the event, she was seated for roughly 90% of the time. I only noticed her assistant taking photos briefly when I first arrived, and the majority of the photos appear to have been taken by the photographer herself. Unfortunately, the overall photo quality did not meet my expectations. More than half of the photos were blurry, with only about four images turning out clear. I also noticed that many photos appeared to be heavily cropped rather than properly zoomed in using the camera, which likely contributed to the blurriness. While the restaurant lighting was not ideal, I expected that an experienced wedding photographer would be able to adjust camera settings or techniques to compensate for low-light conditions. I do appreciate that she provided a memory book and USB, which was a nice touch. However, overall, I was disappointed with the quality of the photos given the expectations for professional wedding photography.

Thank you for your feedback. I have never had anyone disappointed before, however, because of your response to me earlier, I have upgraded my equipment and have made some changes to correct the issues that happened with your pictures. I wish you both well. -Teresa
