Well, thanks for all the replies. I didn't start this to debate how quick I should get them or I'm not really complaining as of yet, just wondering what the norm is.
Again we did not pay a lot and she is a friend of a family member - who kind of did us a favor, last minute, because it was such a small wedding we originally weren't even looking for a photographer, so I am grateful that she was able to shoot for us.
Only thing I think is odd, is the Facebook thing. The contract says she can use our images to advertise and that is fine. But I do think it would have been nice to at least have told us she would post them prior to us getting them or just not posted at all.
I asked about the color photos mostly because I just want pictures of the wedding. I guess what I am saying is, I hope, if she does some creative stuff (sepia, there is one with a verse written over it) she also includes the original picture on the disc as well.
By posting an image or two onto Facebook she is most likely trying to "build anticipation" for the main showcasing of your wedding. It's incredibly common, though whenever I do it I always alert the client and attempt to tag them in the photograph. My intent is to get the client, and other people following me, excited about the wedding photos. I don't want you to go too long without thinking about your photos, so I'll post a sneak peak and hope that you'll share it with other people. It's pretty basic social media, and as I said incredibly common.
Things such as Facebook use and turn around time should have all been addressed at the contract signing, so it sounds like she wasn't clear.
