and sadly it's not the photographers/videographers fault, they all got screwed too, some of them are owed upwards of 20K - they never got paid that's why they are holding all the files "hostage" until they get paid, totally understandable too these people are out of work now, sucks for them
bad management
20 grand. WoooWwwwwwweee
I was able to speak to my photographer, and he was one that got screwed over too. He said he'll give me the photos, I offered to give him some extra money.
yeah a lot of them are doing that from what i hear - that's good - you can still get an album made as long as you get the negatives
