Piper Studios

We went with Piper studios for our wedding… the person we met with made us feel like we would be able to have an amazing engagement video etc. we booked Piper studios in January and were told someone would contact us for our engagement video. July came around and no one called us so I started contacting them, to pick a date to do our video, to only have the videographer tell us he was’t free until September. My husband and i waited until that week. no one called us. or showed up. then after complaining about paying for that extra service Richard (the owner) tried to get us to do the video 2 weeks before the wedding. we had no time left to go do that. so fine we didn’t do our video…
Here comes our wedding week. still no one contact me about the itinerary for the day. I had to call Piper studios to find out who was shooting our video… then i had to contact him myself and give him the itinerary. wtf?
wedding day came and the videographer showed up late at the grooms house and showed up at my house only shooting outside. i never got the bride inside the house getting ready because he was late also. fast forward to picking up our video… this place was a disaster to deal with… my emails not replied to in a timely manner, always different people replying to me… making promises that weren’t met. we did end up getting a refund for our engagement video… but after they tried talking us into doing the video again, after we said no… ummm… engagement video after we are married. whats the point?
I was not and still am not happy with our video. everything was rushed to get us out of there. our final and raw footage on the same dvd… Richard promised to remake our wedding video with just our final edit on the CD instead of final and raw footage on the same CD… its been over a month and we haven’t heard from them… I could go on about this company… but i wont… we werent going to have video at our wedding but we decided to in the end… but after dealing with Piper studios maybe it was better off not getting a video done. Staff was unprofessional, and richard DOESN’T listen to his clients at all.

I decided to go with Piper for all my photography and videography for the ENTIRE wedding experience. The collection of memories I ended up with is irreplaceable. I’ve had to re-​order the photo album about 7 times because family members keep stealing mine they love it so much. Now my mom, my dad, my husbands parents, both my sisters, and both my husbands sisters have their own copy. I can’t say I mind at all though because it’s so beautiful.

Booked a basic wedding package. Roughly 1200~
The pictures were. well meh. I got about 1000 on a disc, with no post production, or even ‘highlight’ photos that have been run through photoshop\lightroom\aperture etc.
Looked like not much effort was put into them. None of the pictures really resembled anything I seen on the website or portfolio shots of the photogrpher.
I was pretty disappointed overall. I would of booked with a different company if I knew in advance how things would of turned out.
