Im not gonna bag anyones work ... I hope it works out for them in the end. All good
Looking at the brochure, I'm surprised it's within their budget. (Cheapest package $2500, 75% payable upfront ... Deposits are not refundable. 100% Full balance payable at least two weeks prior to the wedding day.)
To be honest, the photos appear OK to me (nothing too fancy though) - but their website does not present them well.

Yea Rob .. I was very surprised to see the package prices on there, but Ive been led to believe that theyve struck a very basic, cheap shoot & burn deal.
No matter ... Im kinda glad its been taken out of my hands now, cause I dont really like turning work down, and now I dont have to.
After looking at the link for their chosen operator, they are paying top $$ for what displays as very ordinary wedding photography. That standard is what I think is typically seen with the $1000 click & burn operators.
Bet they are amazed at the increased number of hits on their site. Makes me consider moving into the industry more seriously.

You may have a point Wayne ... however, I think thats a bit of a generalisation at the same time. A mate of mine got married on an island in the Whitsundays and paid mega bucks for very average images. On the other hand, my sister in law paid less than $1000 for her photographer and the images are fantastic. I guess it can go either way
I remember your past posts on this great couple. You had so much trouble with them then, I think now they could be much worse. Please think this trough carefully, Your name is at stake here! Good luck with your decision.

Yea I updated this thread last night guys. I wont be doing it. Twice bitten, thrice youre just an idiot, as they say
will you be surprised if they contact you again?
was the wife the main trouble or is the husband just as bad, if hubby is unaware of the circumstances I feel very sorry for him!
yeah you may get to do his wedding again in a few years time if you are lucky(?) lol
