Hi everyone,
So we recently signed a contract with a photographer and were really excited about it. I have been to several events that he has covered, and I've always loved his photography. A friend of mine who used him for her wedding also gave him a glowing review.
However, his email response time hasn't been great so far. Several times, I've had to follow up on an email to him after a few days (or even weeks). This hasn't really been an issue until now, and we like his work enough that it didn't seem like a big concern. He has very limited availability this summer, so we tentatively planned an engagement session for Sunday (today is Friday). He was emailing me back consistently about it until I asked to confirm that it was included in the amount that we paid. (To be fair, he just agreed to do the engagement shoot over an informal email, and it wasn't in the contract).
Honestly, I won't be upset if the engagement shoot isn't actually included--we can either pay separately for it if it's not that expensive or just not do engagement photos. (Frankly, I don't really care that much!) But, I'm wondering how to proceed. The initial email exchange took place on Monday, and then I sent him a follow-up email yesterday (Thursday). If we are, indeed, going to do the shoot on Sunday, I would like to get it on the calendar! (I also don't have a phone number for him--which is probably my mistake). Help?!
