    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    My wedding was on 10/19/2023. We paid George Street Photo & Video $6,009.33 for a ******************************************* package. We had two photographers and two videographers. There were issues booking our photographer from the beginning. When we made the deposit, we assumed the photographer we chose was booked but he was not. It wasn't until months later we found out he wasn't booked, and we had to choose another one. We didn't receive our video until 2/18/2024 via email on our client portal. We reviewed it and I was unhappy with aspects of it, so I submitted changes to be made on 3/12/2024. We received the revised video on 5/14/2024. I am still unhappy with the video. They completely missed half of our wedding party walking down the aisle before the ceremony and the half they did get is from the back of the aisle. You can't see anyone's faces walking down the aisle which is extremely infuriating. Also, the two cameras used had major differences in quality and the shots were not cohesive. It's completely unacceptable seeing as we had two videographers, and two cameras were already set up at the front that were used for my husband and myself during the ceremony. I expressed my disappointment and dissatisfaction in an email to our coordinator on 5/29/2024. I spoke with a manager over the phone on 6/7/2024 regarding this matter and she told me she would discuss it with the managerial team. We spoke again on the phone on 6/13/2024. She told me they are giving us a refund of $150 to which I expressed my disapproval. She added in the raw video footage valuing $550 but I am still unhappy and extremely frustrated. I cannot relive my wedding day and part of my video was ruined. We paid a lot of money for these so-called professionals, and they did mediocre work. I emailed them again that same day to see if they can put our photos and video on a hard drive since they are sending the raw footage on one to which I got no response. This whole process has been nothing but frustrating.

    Do Not use this company. Would rate negative stars if possible My daughter used this company for her wedding in October of 2023 , The photos were mediocre at best and the photographer showed up late. She complained and was issued a $500 refund for the time missed and was offered a reshoot for the bad pictures. when the time came for the reshoot the photographer never showed up and she was never notified. She complained again and requested a partial refund of the $3500 she had originally paid. She was told they were unable to offer a refund and only reschedule the shoot again. why would she want to use them after all the trouble she has already had, this is unacceptable service and the product received was horrible.

    Hi ***, it is always our goal to provide exceptional service, and we're sorry to hear that we missed the **** for your daughter and her husband's big day. Our manager is working directly with ****** and ****** to make things right. We are confident we'll be able to turn their experience around.
