| - I would give negative 5 stars if I could.
First, let me tell you a little back story:
For my bacholorette party, I wanted to do a fun girl's boudoir photo shoot, after some searching, I landed on "Slick Click"" and I want to take every single moment back since that decision.
The photographer shows up to the hotel room with a gentleman who asks for final payment. After payment is received, he leaves. The photographer has is a digital SLR (I HAVE A DIGITAL SLR!) - where is the lighting? where is ANYTHING else that makes you a professional photographer?
We take the pictures, for 2 hours, I paid $250.00.
One week later, I get the disc of photos, and before I even review the photos, I notice a full one page long letter from Robert Parker, the Owner of Slick Click that says [paraphrasing] "the pictures did not turn out because we advised you to get the better photography package, and you didn't, because of this, poor lighting and a small hotel room, a majority of your images are blurry."
Yes, I chose the lesser package - which meant:
- no styling
- no photo editing (I am a designer, I can edit my own photos)
- no assistance posing
I did not know that the lesser package meant I don't get high quality photos, at all.
Essentially, the photography company is making excuses for why they could not take good pictures, 100% faulting myself and my group.
Citing every reason; from the small room, to poor lighting, to my friends and I taking our time to get ready, and that a light in the room broke.
Slick Click: please do not offer photography in hotel rooms if you are not equipped to take photos in a hotel room.
Now, I am out $250.00, I have no pictures to remember my special weekend, and I have a letter on Slick Click photography letterhead that tells me it was my fault that my pictures did not turn out.
My advise to you is to seek out ANY other company for your photos.
In fact, if you take photos with your iPhone flash - you're already leaps and bounds ahead of where Slick Click would have you.
Do not miss out on your special moment for a company that is not prepared to capture it.
