Dogwood Lane Photography

Disappointed

I really adored this photographer’s portfolio photos on Zola, so I booked my wedding with her. I was so excited about the photos because her style seemed like just what I wanted. When it came to the wedding, she did get a couple gorgeous photos like the ones in her portfolio- but then rest I was surprised on. The spot she picked for family photos had spotty lighting on all of us- where the only photo I got with my immediate family essentially cut my face in half where one half was insanely bright…it was so disappointing. I also had to get my planner to ask her to do solo portraits of just me before the day started- I wouldn’t think I’d have to track the photographer down to get those. Finally, I felt communication was lacking. The photos were delivered 10 weeks after the wedding and I felt that we could have discussed more about her plan for the day and the types of shots she typically looks to get, etc. There were several photos I thought the photographer could have spent more time on editing- such as the blemish on the groom’s face or the shadow of someone’s head directly in the middle of my dress as I walked down the aisle. In the end she did take some nice golden hour photos and some good dancing photos which I’m happy about. I just wish I had asked her beforehand to see full galleries of wedding she’s done and not just accepted the “highlights” photos she has on Zola.
