Photographer not emailing back

Catherine, on October 19, 2019 at 5:59 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
Hi everyone! I need some advice. Me and my fiancé were at a bridal show a few months back and won a free engagement session with a photographer we liked. We emailed back and forth and he said the next step would be to choose which season we would like our session and we told him We would like fall photos. He told us it was a very busy time of year for him but we’d look into a date when we got closer to fall. This was back in May/June. So fast forward to last month and I emailed him back to touch base and see when he was available and he has yet to respond. I want to email him a second time but I don’t know what to say that won’t come off as rude or pushy! But I would like to know if this is something he still has time for or not so I know if I need to look for someone else! Help!

    I would call him ASAP. If he didn't give you his number, I would look on his website. October is a popular wedding month so finding a new photographer to do photos now might be a challenge.

    Agree about following up, but, if you haven't yet looked into it, be cautious because many of those bridal show "free engagement sessions" potentially are not what you might expect. There are tons of old posts on this forum from brides who won "free sessions" only to find out that, yes, the session was free, but if they wanted even a single picture from the session it was outrageously expensive. If this person doesn't respond to messages, do you really want to work with him (even if it will truly be free)? Maybe give him one more chance, but unless he is easy to communicate/work with in the future and the photos will actually be a reasonable cost, I'd move on because this may have been kind of a scam. Good luck!

    I would email him again. Vendors get so busy in the fall that they may not realize they forgot to reply to an email.
