Review of Childers Photography

Full disclosure, I'm reposting my Yelp Review here...

Full disclosure, I'm reposting my Yelp Review here:

Holy crap, I just saw my sister's wedding photos that Childers did and they are terrible.

He did not listen at all to what my sister and brother in law wanted in their pictures, was incredibly condescending and told them repeatedly that they would want the pictures the way he did them, not the way they said they wanted them.

While there are a few decent pictures, most of his posed pictures are pretty much all horrible, awkward, and unflattering. The few spontaneous pictures he did do were also terrible.

Did I mention that their wedding was at the Dayton Art Institute? Gorgeous venue, right? Too bad Childers failed to highlight this at all in his photos!

The photos that guests took on their phones and posted to Instagram were better.

Oh, and he told my sister - on her wedding day - that she was one of the most difficult brides he had ever worked with, and I assure you that she was not at all a difficult bride.

If you want to hear him talk all about how great he is and talk to you like you're silly and know nothing, then by all means hire him. Case in point: one of the reviews for this business that has been removed for violating Yelp's user agreement is from "Chuck C."...hmm, wonder who that could be? How sad to try to give your own company a 5 star rating!

I've been to 30+ weddings and been in about 10 and this guy was the worst photographer and produces photos that were not personalized or memorable.

I would give him zero stars if I could.
