Photo selection day..

We met up with my sister & brother in law @ one of the bridal studio located @ Tanjong Pagar yesterday @ about 7pm for photos selection. (I will not tell which bridal shop it is as i do not want them to see these & gave me hell on my actual day)

It was a unpleasant & terrible night we had yesterday.. Ok what do i meant by this? Look below to find out more!

Our expectations were high but we knew that it would not be wat we wants. We started to view our photos using the their computer (no hard copies at all), going thru 1 by 1, my brother in-law found that most of the photos taken either some parts of our hair, feet or fingers were not showned in the photos (it dont look artistic to us).

With much disappointment, we then saw some photos (our of 233 photos we only saw 100 or so photos that we really really like). So i started to ask this lady boss about getting back the soft copies of my photos taken. To our horror, she says all soft copies is not returnable! I then asked in wat way can i get back all the soft copies. She then says these with her arm folded; "Oh it depends... Pay me another $1,800 or develop 80 photos & above then i will consider that!" Damn... so ridiculous! I was so pissed off! So i asked her to clarify this. "Will consider or will return us all our soft copies back?" She replied she can return us our soft copies provided we pay $ but those soft copies cannot be develop (this means that she will return LOW RESOLUTION soft copies to me). "What's the use of purchasing all my photos when i cant develop them?" I asked her. She saw my "black face" then replied "I will return the original soft copies to you if you pay loh" Will you be pissed off too if someone tells you this?

Well this is not the end... I walked off awhile & told my hubby that we will stick to our package without making purchases. Forget about my soft copies then... I was really angry with her. My sis had Whitelink as her bridal studio. They returned ALL soft copies to my sis without charging them extras! Can you see the difference between my sis's bridal studio & mine? My bridal studio simply charge & charge... i still remember they charged us $80 for laundry fees on our ROM day & our photo shooting day.. one more coming which is on my actual day. They did not tell us that we need to pay for this so called "laundry fees" when we sign the package. There are no other bridal studio that i ever heard of collecting laundry fees (all these should be in the package itself & are not chargable to us).

The lady boss overheard our conversation of not purchasing the soft copies & was really angry. Haha... my brother in-law purposely take his own sweet time to select our 42 photos... lol... He slowly browse & explain why he select this but not that... blar blar blar blar blar... the lady boss was so so so pissed. Guess wat she did? She switched off the air-con & lights while we are still making our selections! Isn't it rude? Well, thats not all... She even take a chair & sit at a corner with her arms folded again & stared at us (trying to tell us that we should leave cos it is 9.30pm) So i decided that we leave since we have not had our dinner yet...

We told her tat we will come to a decision & will come back again to finalise. She did not reply us... haha.. guess she is too angry to do so... Have you ever seen such BOSS before? Something to add before i end this story... Brides to be, be sure that you make your bridal studio ppl write down "no hidden charge" on your invoice as an evidence before they start changing this & that. Request them to indicate on your invoice of what you need to pay. If you would like to get back all your soft copies, make them write this down "all soft copies returnable". This is a good way of avoiding all these crazy things from happening.

I'm returning to my bridal studio this Sunday... hopefully things can get better... (Pray that i wont quarrel or argue with her again) hahaha...
