Hello everyone!
My husband and I got married this past summer and wanted to share a tip with everyone that's getting married soon.
If you hire a photographer, please make sure that your photographer, immediately after your wedding ends, has a back up of all the raw photos in a secure location SECONDARY to the primary place where they do the editing. While it is such common sense to keep backups of any files that you ever work on, photos or documents, our photographer didn't have that common sense, and kept all the photos on the hard drive which broke beyond repair. The photographer also, right after moving the photos to the hard drive, quickly formatted the camera cards multiple times so photos couldn't be recovered there either.
So please learn from our extremely painful experience of not having photos from the day that we can't ever recreate. Please make sure that a thorough back up process / requirement is stipulated in the contract as well AND talk about it with the photographer before the wedding.
Happy wedding!
