Photographer woes

I contacted a photographer that had shot a friend of mines wedding earlier this year and came highly recommended. Even better she’s from my home town! I went to her website and filled out her info/contact form. On the form it asked what specific times/places/ types of photos I was looking for or thinking of, being newly engaged I really don’t have much of an idea of what time I want to take photos and where I’d like to have photos done ( I thought we’d just do them at the venue) I wrote fairly vague locations and ideas for photos hoping I’d get some guidance on what would work best . Not only has this this photographer not written back to me about how I could of been more specific with what I was looking for, she screenshot my email ( blacks out all my info) and posted it to her social media as an example of “ how not to fill out one of her forms”. I’m feeling a bit hurt as this photographer came highly recommend as someone who gets back to you promptly and is incredibly loving and kind. I love her work but I feel as if I already have a bad taste in my mouth, mainly about still not hearing back from her but then seeing she has seen my email and form and instead of addressing me directly I see her make an example out of my inquiry on social media. I’m not sure if I should just continue my search else where or give her the benefit of the doubt.

    I would def not hire her. That's so rude and unprofessional. Honestly I would be hurt/angry and probably blast her ass on social media lol not the most mature response but she needs to be put in place. Frankly she should not be in the industry with her lack of people skills.

    This is exactly what I was thinking too. My photographer told us to give him all of that info a couple months before the wedding not when we inquired. OP you for sure dodged a bullet on that one.

    Very unprofessional and honestly I would call her out very tastefully but so she knows it was unprofessional and she shouldn't have :

    "Hello, I wanted to let you know I am withdrawing my inquiry. You came to me highly recommend and I was really looking forward to hearing back from you. Not only did you not get back to me but you made an example out of me. I am newly engaged and honestly just needed some guidance. I hope in the future you learn from this as you definitely just lost a customer and all the people I could have referred you to as well."

    THIS. What a great way to be firm yet kind! Do not give that girl a dime of your money, she is unprofessional. I agree with the others who say to leave a review. Screenshot that post as well if you can (in case she deletes it).
