This is my first post on here but I don’t know what else to do so I’m putting this here for advice. I found a photographer; paid the deposit and everything. January 19th I paid the deposit and she said she’d give me the contract tomorrow.. January 20th, she ended up not messaging me so I messaged her on January 24th and she said I would have it by Sunday; February 2nd but it arrived the next day.
She didn’t message me back on February 2nd when she said she would mail the contract to my house (never did) and I had to start another round of conversation on February 22nd. 20 days after the initial contact. Once again she didn’t message me on February 24th saying she’d get back to me on dates until I messaged her today.
Each time she says great to hear from you when she never gets back to me. I hired her in January and didn’t get the contract until February. That’s when I asked about engagement dates for April and she said she would get back to me. Today she said that “ I offer free engagement sessions if we can make the dates work. I’m sure we won’t have a problem but I do have events booked pretty much through April . I also start my other weddings etc . I normally have people book out a few months.” She’s acting as if I didn’t give her plenty of notice when we said April in February.
It’s understandable that she’ll be busy, I know how wedding season is. I say a date works for us and her and it’s booked.
But to top it all off.. My fiancé and I want to take our engagement pictures in Springfield, Missouri because we met there and fell in love. I told her this and she said of course and that it would work; I mentioned the city/ state three times and even locations that would work. But she gets back to me and says she thought I meant Springfield, Illinois and that she won’t go there for an engagement session. Which normally I would be fine with but she said it was fine three times. It just seems as if she’ll say one thing and then do another. What do I do?
This is one of the times I mentioned Springfield, Missouri.
