Sorry for the lengthy post! Looking for advice. Having a hard time booking a photographer for our wedding 10/1/2022. We lost our original photographer, whom shot our engagement photos. She moved across the country in 2021 and had a baby so she backed out (we had not signed a contract yet due to being far out from wedding date- but still disappointing since we loved her work and had already discussed wanting her as our wedding photog with her) She backed out 11/1/2021 which sent me into a panic looking for a new photog with less than a year to go!
So i searched the web and was able to find a photographer we liked- so we reached out and by a miracle she said she was available for our date! I felt so relieved! Initially all of her responses were very quick, and she gave very detailed information! We set up to do a phone consultation mid-december to discuss details and move forward with booking if we liked. We chose a date for the call, she emailed me saying she put me in her calendar. Then that day came and went and she never called. I didn’t have her phone number, so i couldn’t call her. Now i was understanding of the fact that it was 10 days before Christmas and i was also busy with life- So I waited until after the holidays passed, and sent a followup email asking to reschedule our phone call and saying we were eager to book.
That was 1/5 and have not heard back since.Its been a week since the follow up email, so i sent another email last night 1/11, checking in to see if she received my email, and asking if she is still available for our wedding date. Nothing.So now its been over a month since we have heard from her, and now i am panicking that I am losing yet another photog with 9 months to go! Its going to be nearly impossible to find a photographer now. And i started reaching out for other photogs and so far everyone is booked Do i DM her on social media? She did post happy new year on NYE.I know we had not signed a contract but we were about to! Do i keep trying to get a hold of her via different platforms? Or start to look for any person who owns a camera? 😩 Sincerely, a very stressed out bride.
