Me and my fiance went to Glamour shots yesterday. The location was outside of Atlanta Georgia. When my fiance called and booked the appointment she was told that the service would cost a few hundred dollars for the photos. My Fiance was excited because the place was going to do her hair, makeup, etc... Let me say this first, me and my fiance had a great time while taking the pictures. The makeup artist and the photographer were great people to work with and very professional. After we were done with the pictures the staff said give us 20 minutes to upload your pictures and then come back. Me and my fiance did just that. We came back, went through all the pictures, chose the ones we liked - about 30 in all. After we were done picking the ones we liked the manager (?) gave us the price - over $6,000.00. It blew us away. The manager said that most people don't chose that many pictures and if we reduce the number of pictures the price should come down considerably. Me and my fiance went through the pictures again and got it down to 9 or 10 pictures we really liked. When the manager gave us the new price it was still going to cost us over a $1,000 and if we wanted to get a CD of all the pictures it was going to be more like $2,000 to $3,000 dollars. I informed the man that for $6,000 I could hire two photographers and a videographer for my wedding for 5 hours. Needless to say me and my fiance left the store angry, shocked, and irritated by the experience. We spent 3 hours in the store having a great time, waiting for these fun pictures to take home to our friends and family and we walked out with nothing. To say the least I was very displeased and disappointed with Glamour shots. I believe if people really knew the pricing system that Glamour Shots uses before walking into the store than this business would have been closed a long time ago.
p.s. I went back on the web site and it looks like their specials are so sensible, but when we got in the door it was touch ups will cost you this and our special package will cost you that. Not good guys, not good!
