I don’t blog much personal stuff up here but there are times and places for it.
As I mentioned before, I’m getting married in August and we’ve booked a local videographer (Mark Gillespie) to produce some wedding video content (mostly so that my mate Stuart would then be able to just get sozzled rather than having to babysit a camera).
We’ve been trying to contact Mark Gillespie since May 2008 about the booking. We’re paid up in full but we’ve had no receipt, his web site is unchanged and he’s not answering his voicemails.

As you can imagine this is causing concern in the normally tranquil Johnston household especially with there being less than two weeks until August!
Anyone heard of this guy? Dealt with him? I’d understand if there was an issue but right now it looks like he’s taken the money and disappeared.
[ UPDATE: Mark emailed us to confirm the booking time this morning. 09:01, 18/07/08]
Glad you got that sorted, we get married in three weeks and had a similar scare earlier in the year with someone different. Thankfully they got in touch before Lila went postal.
PS All the best for your big day.
I booked Mark for our wedding a few weeks ago (July 5th) and he was great. I’m from Ballymena and know him locally. I see your issue was sorted but just wanted to add this for anyone else that sees that. We got the DVD around the 22nd of July after he had bounced a few ideas our way and it’s a good job. Well inpressed.
Hope this helps, Sam
Mark Gillespie has been a complete disaster in providing our wedding video. Followup post – http://cimota.com/blog/2009/01/06/worst-videographer-in-the-world/
