Review of Childers Photography

Please avoid this photographer AT ALL COSTS. 1)You...

Please avoid this photographer AT ALL COSTS. 1)You won't be able to post pictures to facebook, even though they try to make it seem like you will be able to at first and lie to you about it 2) The images are VERY low quality. My mother bought a new printer at Office Max after the wedding, we compared her photos to the photographers and hers looked like they had a higher image quality/better printer 3) The photographer they sent out was NOT all that good as described in the initial consultation. They told us they would take pictures of us with various people if we put it down on a list and they never got to the most important ones on our list. Also it was an outdoor wedding and they were too lazy to go outside to take photos of the golf course, scenery outside, etc before the ceremony so all of our outdoor pictures were rushed and not really very good. Me and my mother were both bummed because we both expressed interest in going outside before the ceremony, and the photographer didn't want to (due to wind.... even though in the photos the pictures after the ceremony were just fine, there was not THAT much wind). They insisted instead of taking pictures inside before the ceremony, the first pictures of him seeing me for the first time- The photographer set it up with EXIT SIGNS in the background. Most of those pictures sucked because he did not pay any attention to what was going on in the background, just wanted to do what would be easiest for him at the time. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand finally 3) The photographs are INCREDIBLY overpriced for the low quality images they are going to print off for you. This might seem like the cheapest option initially, which was our primary reason for going with Childers, however you might want to consider just taking the photos yourself and save yourself time and hassle. Also if you appreciate prompt service you might want to do it yourself for that reason as well. We were married in May, and it is August and I am just now getting my pictures that I ordered (we did not get the proofs until around June/July). My cousin got married last week and her high quality images are already on facebook (needless to say I did not refer her to Childers, she got someone decent to do it).
