Hey all. I have some wedding planning drama already and I could use some advice.
So I'm getting married April 2022. I found a photographer I wanted to book, talked to her on the phone and she sent over a contract. The contract stated that the payment would be done in two increments. First one due the day of booking and the second one due March 2nd. However, on November 12th, I got an email that stated that the second payment came out of my account automatically. First of all, I didn't set up auto pay and it came out like 4 months early.
I messaged her to see what happened and she's blaming the system that the payments go through. I was heated about it at first because she didn't follow her own contract but friends of mine have told me ro be careful with losing a photographer 4 months before my wedding. She offered to refund the second payment but reminded me that I would still have to pay the other half in March. I didn't want to go through the trouble of a refund so I kind of just let it go. Of course letting it go is easier said than done. What should I do? If I cancel her services, I won't get any money back. I'm also afraid I won't find a photographer quick enough to replace her.
