Picture Story Weddings

Review
If you, like me, are still waiting for your pictures or an album from Jonathan Hill, please contact me at calcagni at stanfordalumni dot org. Perhaps we can do something as a group to resolve this situation and prevent the same thing from happening to future couples.

We contracted Jonathan Hill of Picture Story Weddings to photograph our July wedding in New Hampshire. As of NOV, he has not provided us with the proofs or the photo album for which he has already been paid. He has not responded to innumerable calls or emails. I wish I had seen this blog or reviewed his record with the Better Business Bureau - he currently has an F rating based on 6 formal complaints. I would strongly recommend not using this unprofessional photographer.

I wish I had seen these reviews before I booked Jonathan. He seemed so professional and great the day of the wedding, but it's been six weeks, and we've had no communication since the day of the wedding. We've called and emailed, and I am now horrified that we have paid in full, since I am expecting to receive nothing now - our pictures have not even been posted online yet. I do have many friends that are attorneys, but the last thing I want as a memory of my wedding is a protracted legal battle. My advice - pay a little more and hire someone recommended on the knot. At least you'll get your pictures!

My wife and I were married in July of 2008 and we have been attempting for several months to get in touch with Jonathan about our photographs and getting an album. He has not responded to any of our voicemails or emails and has even changed his cell phone number from the one listed here. I'm on the verge of contacting the Better Business Bureau and my father-in-law (who paid for the service) is meeting next week with his lawyer to discuss a possible lawsuit. Jonathan and his partner did a great job on the day of the wedding and we loved the photos (while we were still able to look at them online) but this lack of response has been beyond maddening.

After writing my review on April 1st and writing one last terse email I was surprised and happy to receive an immediate reply within minutes from Jonathan Hill. He sent the dvd of all the wedding photos via priority mail the next day and my daughter received them on April 3rd. I don't know what finally prompted a response after all this time but we are very happy to now have them. After reviewing all 800+ photos again I can honestly say that the photography was fabulous.

Jonathan Hill and his partner took fabulous photos for my daughter's wedding in July 2007. The cost was very high but we thought worth it because of the quality. The pictures were removed from his website after a period of time and we have never received the DVDs of proofs that we are entitled to. We have left numerous emails and voicemails and have even now threatened legal action. It is very distressing to have absolutely no response and worry that we will never see these photos again. The bottom line is this: DO NOT USE THIS MAN OR YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR PICTURES!! If anyone has any luck reaching him please post how you did it - we have been trying for about 1 1/2 years!

Since writing my previous review, I have receive an email and the wedding pictures have been posted on the Picture Story Weddings website. Mr. Hill does a good job capturing moments and was very nice and patient the day of the wedding, but we can still only view the pictures on line (which does not help)as the image disk that was promised in the contract has still not been received.

Jonathan Hill takes gorgeous pictures. He's a photojournalist and is very good at capturing moments unobtrusively. At my wedding, he was easy to work with and the resulting pictures are great. HOWEVER, it's been over a year since I got married and I have yet to receive 3 albums we paid for as part of our original contract. He has canceled his cell phone and does not respond to emails or voicemails. If you choose to use him, beware you may end up in the same tough situation we're in now with no money and no albums.
