First of all, I AM a legitimate customer and after my experience I am fairly certain the other negative reviews were written by legitimate customers too. \r
-Creative shots? None. All our photos are staged and cheesy. There are hardly any candid photos, and only 1 or 2 photos of guests.. and that's because they were standing next to me (the bride). My mother asked the photographer (Brenda) if she would take a family photo of my grandparents and their 8 children, as they were all in attendance and it would be nice to have a family photo. Well, Brenda said NO. (You wouldn't think she was being paid, huh?) She then said if she took that photo, then everyone else would be asking her to take pictures of them. (I think she forgot she was hired to be the PHOTOGRAPHER). Oh and one of the biggest disappointments was how she posed us at the church. She put the grandparents in the center, and bride and groom at the end of the line-saying the grandparents are the center of the family. That may be so, but it was OUR wedding day!! Everyone who sees those photos always ask why we are standing at the end. I kick myself for not speaking up, but I'm pretty sure she would have ignored me anyway.\r
-Quality? So, so. In my opinion I think the photos are blurry and dark. When I spoke with Brenda about this she looked at me as if I had eye problems, and shook her head saying ""I don't see it..."" (funny.. everyone else does) Brenda then told me the darkness would be fixed once we purchased the bigger pictures. Well it wasn't, they're still fairly dark-and blurry. \r
-Professionalism? Nope! Rudeness all around. Hurried the wedding party through shots at the church, took none of the wedding party at the reception. Was rude to the videographer and told him to get out of her way. (FYI-she was the one jumping in the videographer's way). Was rude to guests and the bride and groom's families (See refusing to take a family photo). She left before the event was over, even though we specifically asked her to remain for the entire event at one of the prior meetings. \r
-Overall we were NOT happy with White Studio. Mother of the bride still gets disgusted almost 4 years later when the subject of our wedding photos is brought up. -Also I wish they had a website where the bride/groom/family/friends could look at the wedding photos rather than lugging around the dumb little proofs boxes and fearing they might get out of order (if you return the proofs with even one photo out of order, you have to pay a fee). \r
FYI White Studio-you'd probably make more money with a website for people to view the photos and order from. \r
-Obviously they act professional and accomodating during the meetings, and you look at books of gorgeous pictures while you are there and just ""know"" yours will be just as good. HA. Look around before you commit to them.
Cons: Rude.
