Photographer Not Answering, Wedding Tomorrow!

Monica, on September 11, 2020 at 8:09 AM Posted in Planning 0 8

Hey guys!

So I am hoping that some of you can either tell me that I am just being an anxious bride or that I should be worried and seriously thinking about a Plan B.

Our wedding photographer has been very difficult to get in touch with and very slow to respond ever since we started working with her (she did our engagement photos as well). Our wedding is tomorrow (Saturday), and the last we heard from her was Monday. On Monday, she had suggested our start time and asked how many guests we will be having (because of COVID). Since then, I responded to her email, as well as emailed her again (on Tuesday) asking if it would be possible to have her start a little earlier to get some more pictures done before the ceremony. She has still yet to respond and we have now texted, called, and emailed her...I know four days doesn't seem all that long, but with our wedding tomorrow I am becoming really frustrated, as we obviously need a plan and need to communicate with our other vendors as well.

Should I be trying to find a backup plan or do I just have crazy bride brain-hahaha.

    I would definitely keep trying to get in contact with her today. Also in your emails/voicemails, let her know that you need a response ASAP since other vendors need to work off this timing as well. Does she have an office that you can stop in at to try to get a response?

    I personally think she will probably come through, but it wouldn't hurt to find a backup, even just a family friend who owns a nice camera

    Hopefully she's just been busy with other weddings and hasn't had a chance to respond. If possible, I'd try to stop by her studio and speak in person. Definitely try to call again and let you know you just need to confirm her time to coordinate with the other vendors.

    I'm sure it will all work out.

    I am not sure about a logical backup because I doubt you can find and contract a photographer this late. I agree it is frustrating because I like quick responses too so I do not blame you for being worried. I would text her stern but nicely that you are concerned she is not responding and that you would like a response to her as soon as possible.

    Be prepared she may not respond or may not change the time. Do you have a contract with the photographer? If so, if the photographer does not respond then they are in breach of contract and owes you money back so I do not think they want to risk that. I hope they come through.

    I would be very anxious too! Try to call her from a number she may not recognize, sometimes if they think its a new client they will answer, as horrible as that sounds. Hopefully she is just busy and will get back to you tonight, but maybe see if you have a friend with a nice camera just in case. Good luck and best wishes ❤

    That does sound stressful. Doesn't help if they have a history of this like you said. Keep trying to contact them and go on Thumbtack.com to seek out a backup. Explain the situation and go from there.

    Hopefully she's just busy with other weddings but it's still uncool of her to ignore you soooo incredibly close to your own wedding! Good luck
