Tales of woe

At PTP we pride ourselves on not only the high quality of our customer service, but of course also the hard work we put in to producing photographs that you will cherish for a lifetime.

That’s why it’s always a shock when we hear stories of people who decided to ask their friends, relatives or ametuer photographers (shudder) to shoot their big day, instead of a investing in a quality photographer or team of photographers to capture everything in glorious detail.

We were recently looking at the work of Vancouver based photographer Dina Goldstein, and had a good chuckle at her brilliant adverts for the PPABC (Professional Photographers Association of British Columbia) which you can see here, and that lead us to do even more research on this delicate subject.

Below is a list of links to some truly horrifying stories – make yourself a cup of tea, sit back, read and be thankful that you chose to go with the best photographers money can buy (that’d be us). Never forget, the flowers last a day, but the photos last a lifetime…
