It's been more than a year since my wedding but I still can't forget the bitter experience I had with this photographer. A very money minded fellow, who was more interested in uploading my pictures on his site (includng a few inappropriate pictures) than providing me a copy of them. I even asked him to pull off my pictures from the net but he denied saying those pictures are his property now, He didn't even provide me pictures which he has uploaded on his website and WedMeGood. Moreover, he's not even capable enough for wedding photography as he was unable to be present at the memorable moments of my Goan wedding. There were hardly any pictures of my family (He was busy taking picutres of the beach apparently). He captured moments which were of more importance from his photography aspect. Very low on professionalism, may seem friendly before taking up the project but once he has grabbed his deal, he is on his own. I would never recommend him to anyone.

It?s has been more than a year since your wedding but I still cannot forget the one and only time I did a mistake towards the beginning of my wedding photography career. It will always be a lesson hard learnt and I have always been thankful to your Dad since then, to teach me this lesson. In fact, learning from this instance, now I distinguish myself from other wedding photographers by committing for 100% privacy protection, as in, unless I get the client?s consent/ approval in writing, I do not upload any of their photographs. Even after we have obtained consent, if a client requests us to take down any of the photos, which they find inappropriate, we remove them within 24 hours of such notification. The credit for such a stringent policy goes to your Dad, who being a fatherly figure for me, taught me this lesson early enough in my wedding photography career. Please convey my sincere thanks to him. As regards money aspect, let me be honest. I agreed to take up this destination wedding at an unbelievably low price of INR 5K per day (which explains money was never the consideration for me and it still is not), thinking that I would be able to use some of the good work to showcase them on my web site. I completely agree with you that I was keen on using some of these photographs, like all aspiring photographers do, to showcase sample work. However, honestly speaking, my intention was never to upload any inappropriate photos. In fact, once notified, I removed those photos. As regards the deliverables, I have submitted all the photographs in a pen drive to your Dad and it covers all of your family members and important events. I still have most of them saved as backup. If you want, you can collect them again anytime. Nonetheless, I take the complete responsibility of my act in the beginning of my photography career and it has always been my biggest lesson since then. Let me take this opportunity to thank you again for your honest feedback on my work. It has really helped me avoid any kind of such blunders later in my career and grow as a professional photographer than an amateur that I was around that time.
