Hello. I'm not a photographer, but I hope that someone could answer a question anyhow. I'm getting married this October and I hired a photographer who happens to be a distant relative. She has been the photographer at two of my cousins' weddings. I recently took a look at the pictures of my cousins wedding and they are terrible! Most are off center and the background is dark so that you cannot see the church. I've already given her a downpayment and signed the contract (my fault - I should have waited to see the other pictures). They look like snapshots that could have been taken by my six year old niece.
This photographer has some of the cheapest rates around (I guess you get what you pay for!) I expressed my concerns to her and she said that since they were taken at a dark church, the pics came out darker. My wedding will be at a dark church as well. Are there any measures I can take to assure that my pics will come out half way decent? My cousin commented that she didn't bring a light, only a flash. What should I do? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
