Not so - NICE PRINTS

I just remembered. I need to write a complaint for this damn photography service that my best friend got for her wedding.

Mishee finally tied the knot on August last year. All of us were so damn happy about it. Everybody helped in the preparation (most especially I) to make this wonderful day a spectacular one.

Before anything else, we call ourselves CAM-WHORES because we love to take shots of every moment there is. Most of us brought cameras, smiling through the flashes for the glimpse of their wonderful day.

Not only that, she hired her cousin's colleague, Rudy Liwanag, who works for a daily broadsheet and TWO photographers from NICE PRINTS which she paid with her eyes closed. (Oh yes, it was expensive!)

Despite our willingness to take shots on her wedding day, of course, we're no professionals... Trust those TWO CLOWNS to do their job.

And months after, the newlyweds got the raw pictures from NICE PRINTS and she was DEVASTATED.

Scratch that.

SHE'S REALLY PISSED OFF!

So if I were to write a complaint letter and post it in a wedding forum, it should be like this. Only if bebeh would approve of it. (But hey, a lot of people will still read this anyhow!)


To the Management:

I am writing this letter to thank you for ruining my best friend's wedding. Weddings are supposedly a special day for two people in love. Not a game, nor an experimental thing.

After the sweet sales talk your marketing clowns did (which you under delivered), you have finally convinced my friend to get your reputable services on May 5, 2008.

It feels gratifying for Mishee to receive phone calls by your impersonal entity saying that the terms are to be paid on the dot or it will terminate the contract.

Well, I never knew that hiring such service = harassment.
Let me put in your hard shell that the business that you carry is supposed to be client-oriented.

On the wedding day itself, I felt crying, not for joy because my friend got hitched. Crying, because the photographers were supposed to be snappy from the church up to the last part of the reception. However, it was not being delivered. If I should have known, to make the details short, our friends and I should have volunteered for the job. That would make us few thousands richer, you know.

Another thing, a douchebag from your staff started to play the AVP, turned the lights off and all the guests felt so giddy to watch the love story unfold. Only to find out that this jerk left his station while your state-of-the-art equipments timely malfunctioned.

Let's see if you can imagine this: It was like, you are so thrilled to watch a horror film and is enjoying the gory details and at the height of its scene, all lights went out.

Well, that's how we all feel. Wonderful, isn't it?

Before I forget, you have told my friend of the very competitive package that you have in store for her. An AVP presentation (which sucks), prenup photos (slightly sucks but hey it was fun if not because of our rowdiness), wedding photos, of course (which DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY SUCK and you all know it!).

And who would forget the photos to be featured in your oh-so remarkable website?? To quote an oaf in your company, "the management has full discretion as to which photos we will post in the site."

Hmmm... Pretty rational. But that was not the idiot in Megamall told us.

To cover all the imbecility, you finally posted the wedding pictures two months ago.
YOU DARED! Good for you guys! I was astound!
And much to our excitement, we are changing our minds.

Kudos to your photographers, they are so competitive in using photoshops to eliminate the dust in your lens. Yes, you did eliminate the dusts but you certainly made the bride look like a model clay....

... Oh heavens, spare me of the pun! You made the bride look like a shining angel... The bridal gown is glowing. You forgot there's someone wearing it.

And you call it the ART OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY. *applause*

If not for Manila Bulletin's Rudy Liwanag, I could never imagine what the rest of the photographs would look like.

There are still more wicked feedback but I dare not to take it one by one or I'll make this longer.
These are just few of what happened on August 8, 2008...

Jeez... that's 8 months and 4 days to be exact. And still, you imbeciles still has not shown them the RAW copy of the video! What's that? Are you trying to give the hard copy on their 1st wedding anniversary?? Wow, so sweet! You'll be giving them a nice present that they would remember for a long time!

After your consistent ineffectiveness, I am very proud to say that of all photography services that I have encountered, you are the worst among them. I should give you a huge plaque to make you known.

And right now, I keep on thinking if I should give a benefit to your reasons but it just couldn't get the logic in my head as far as in my ASS.

Just so you know, I could say a lot of nice things about your company, since your business is carrying the name NICE PRINTS... but I'd be lying if I judge it from my friend's wedding.

Despite of all these, I apologize. I know I am talking like an idiot but I have to. Otherwise, you wouldn't understand me at all.

With your impotence, and without giving any reasonable explanations, much more, a plausible action to alleviate this issue, expect that we will find ways to put your NICE company down.


Sincerely Yours,
Erica Hernandez
