After reading the thread about the couple duped by the wedding photographer - I thought it might be interesting to see how long the rest of you take to deliver wedding proofs to clients. What is 'normal'....how long do you make customers wait?
Personally, I have clients albums ready with 2 weeks. I make it my number one priority to edit pics within a couple of days of the ceremony and get them off to my printers, which are a local pro shop with all the amentities. I have my finished prints within 4-5 days, then i sort into an album ready for the clients viewing. Same goes for enlargements/reprint orders...these are ready within 2 weeks, most of the time. I have been dong it this way for 14 years. I have built a good reputation for reliablity, service and quality of work.
Locally there is also a world class photographer whose work is absolutely beautiful, but takes approx 6 mos to deliver proofs. I just dont understand that....and why he retains such a great reputation when the business side of things is so slow.
anyway...interested to see what the rest of you do.
