Is it possible to give these guys 1/2 a star? Dealing with these guys was a NIGHTMARE. I hired Vinay to capture my engagement in photos. He charged me $850 and this price included a CD of the pictures he took, an approx. 30 minute long video of the event, and an album. Once he came by to my house to view the venue of where the event will be held, he had me sign his contract. Everything is good up to this point. My engagement was super intimate, it took place in my parent's home and I think we had 60 people tops (we rented 60 chiavari chairs out although we had 50 people on our guestlist; we just wanted to plan for extra +1s showing up).
Vinay came with his assistant to the event and it appeared as though he was doing his job; which is to photograph and videograph. It turns out, once Vinay left, not only was he super unavailable and dodgy with my phone calls, but once I did get a hold of him, he blew up. He complained about the small backyard (did he expect the backyard to expand miraculously from the last time he saw it), he complained about the number of guests (he already knew how many we expected to be there), he also complained about how my mom was trying to work out a deal with him to take my engagement photos some other time. From what he was saying, he was suggesting that he was offended by negotiating prices. I'm sorry...but have you ever heard of Vinay Visions? Is he running some premiere photography studio where all prices are set in stone because he won't compromise his talent's worth? He's not even that good! We found his advertisement somewhere on the web version of yellow pages!
Not only was he rude, disrespectful to me, but he was disrespectful to my family. On numerous occasions when one of my family members tried reaching out to him to get a status on the video and photo album, he would flip out. He is a man who is going through some crazy issues right now. Every time I spoke to him, he managed to offend me. Not to mention, it took him 7+ MONTHS to send me my engagement's photo album. He was incredibly unprofessional and VERY slow. 7+ months for an album? Do you know how long 7 months is? You could very well give birth to a baby! I don't recommend Vinay Visions to any of my friends OR enemies. Stay away from this dude who is always PMSing. read more
