Malik Sharp of Malik Sharp Photography and Film Don't be Mislead by Contract Wording Cordova Tennessee

CONTRACT REGRETS-

In February, I entered into a contract with Mr. Malik Sharp of Malik Sharp Photography and Film for videography services for my September, 2016 wedding. The contract stated I would receive the following 5 items/ services: 

Full 8 hr wedding day coverage (Video only),

2 videographers

Short film highlights video (4-7 minutes)

 Online viewing

 Flash drive with all edited footage.

The cost for the package was $1450.00 plus tax.

Shortly after my wedding, snippets were posted on Mr. Sharp’s facebook page; perhaps his advertising.

 In late November, I received the short highlight video via email.  During our texting, Mr. Sharp stated I would be able to see my ceremony in its entirety upon receipt of the flash drive.  When asked if this would be documentary style, Mr. Sharp stated yes. Pleased with the highlight video, I anxiously awaited the flash drive.

Finally, in December, I received the flash drive. It was the SAME as the short film video (4 minutes 32 seconds) that I received previously.  Mr. Sharp and I had numerous text communications and phone conversations after this as I thought he mistakenly sent the wrong thing. I am expecting a flash drive documenting the special day every girl dreams of and relish.  His position was this is the contract I signed, stated I needed to read a contract before signing one and if I wanted more, I had to pay additional monies.  Amid trying to resolve this situation so I could have a documentary style flash drive of my wedding as I was told, to my dismay, what happens next is unimaginable.

Mr. Sharp CONTINOUSLY raised his price for me to get UNEDITED RAW FOOTAGE.  Initially he quoted a price of $125.00, then $450.00, then $850.00 plus tax , the price continued to vary.  He refused to consent to writing a second contract, ensuring I would get the footage I wanted and footage from his native camera. He refused to allow a person of my choice review the footage before I paid the exorbitant extra cost.

Thus, the day I spent 14 months planning, spent thousands of dollars on, the special day in my life, my wedding---all I have to look back on other than my pictures is a  4 min. -32 sec.  flashdrive .

$ 1450.00 plus taxes for 4 min- 32 seconds!

To you, I am sharing my experience so that you can make an informed decision before you enter into a contract with this business.  Also, get everything said IN WRITING WITH SIGNATURES.  I want to spare you the disappointment I carry.
