Poor Review

When we were preparing for our wedding last year, we had to select a photographer. We came across a couple that I wanted to interview and set the appointments. Well, the first lady we talked to was with Beck and Call Photography. She had us drive to her house in Fredericksburg so that we could see her work. After the interview, we both felt that maybe we should just go with her; after all, she had the best package. When it came time to make the appointment to take the engagement photo shoots, she wasn't so cooperative. After making several appointments, she finally kept one. We went to the most beautiful place here in Richmond to take these pictures, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. She had us posing in very strange poses. After seeing the pictures she took, we decided that there wasn't a single picture that we could use as an engagement photo. We were highly disappointed. She had some pictures where we were fish-eyed; some where we were too far in the background so you focused on the flowers instead of the happy couple.

The worst was her shadows actually cast upon us in a few photos. So, being the nice person that I am, I emailed her trying to make her believe that we were not satisfied with me in the pictures instead of the real reason being that we thought she was a very amateur photographer. She responded by insulting my husband saying that she had to throw out more pictures due to them being bad of him. Excuse me?!? She honestly didn't think that her photography had anything to do with that? Regardless, we fired her and ended up hiring Dan Iott Photography. We met with him and he was totally awesome. He was such a big help at our rehearsal and the pictures that he took of our wedding were totally awesome! We absolutely LOVED them. Instead of struggling to find one we really liked taken by Jennifer at Beck and Call, we were overwhelmed by trying to narrow our selection down to 40 from the pictures taken by Dan Iott.
I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, good photographer.

Long story short (well, maybe not so short), Jennifer at Beck and Call emailed me asking me to review her work on different websites. LOL I couldn't believe this. She actually wanted ME to review her work? After I fired her? Was she kidding? I took the opportunity to give her the poor review that she deserved. OMG, I can't believe how much she complained to the websites to have them take down the poor review. No wonder her ratings were higher. She disputes anything that is negative. Now how deceptive is that? I feel sorry for any bride that hires Beck and Call Photography as they are going to be highly disappointed. Jennifer told me she relies on PhotoShop to correct errors in my opinion that any good photographer would have avoided in the first place. I am sure you will see by the samples the difference between the two photographers. I don't know about you, but I will use Dan Iott Photography any day! Thank you Dan!!!
