Photographer...

I suppose it will come across as hot headed, but I'd be fuming. Do you have a contract with this person? She has to honor the contract or refund whatever deposit you've provided. I would personally be distrusting of her now and would probably want to find someone else. In an effort to be fair, maybe you could give her a couple weeks and, if she can't confirm she will be available as planned, look elsewhere. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that!

Your wedding is coming up soon, I would find a more reliable (and frankly, more professional) photographer. She does not sound like a good fit for such an important role.

There are literally thousands of photographers that would do anything for work right now. Ditch her and find someone that would respect and appreciate your business. This is the most unprofessional thing I have ever heard of and if it were me I would not want to take the chance that the day of she just wouldn't show up. A contract only means that you could sue her for it, but if you don't have a photographer to capture your special day it may ruin your mood (I would probably have a meltdown). Good Luck and Im sorry you have to deal with this

That is literally terrible for her to ask something like that... i mean if you booked her, shouldn't she have known the date she is booked for?? wow. that is kind of unprofessional.

I would try to get someone else and try to get a refund from her. That's incredibly unprofessional and I wouldn't trust her.

Um, I would be questioning all of her abilities, if she booked without knowing what *day* she contracted for!

Absolutely demand back any money, and get a new photographer ASAP.

I'm so sorry this happened!

Because your wedding is coming up quick I would look into a backup photographer in case your original bails on you... That is very unprofessional of her to not request this time off after you booked. Worst case your backup photographer will keep your deposit if your original is able to come through for you.

I would book soon with a backup though, you don't want to miss out on capturing your big day!

How would she not know what day of the week it was when you booked her? That is ridiculous! I would look for someone else, quickly! Your current photographer sounds unprofessional and I would not trust her with your wedding photos.

I would absolutely be looking for a different photographer! I can understand if she was booked or busy that day as it seems you aren't having a long engagement.. But to initially agree, when you gave the date, then make it sound like it's an inconvenience for her is just rude and very unprofessional. Like obviously you know what day of the week you're getting married... you choose the date! She should have looked at her calendar and checked before agreeing. That response from her would rub me the wrong way. I would personally look to go with someone else.
