Photographer

Ah if you signed the contract does it say anything about cancellation and the fees you'd incur? I know the contracts I signed say I'd lose x amount of money if I cancel by x time

I would re-read your contract. If there is a way to get out of it without taking too big of a financial hit I would. This just doesn't seem professional and I'd be upset too.

Definitely read your contract and if there's a stipulation about canceling and losing your deposit or whatnot, decide whether or not it's worth it. I'd be freaking out too!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds pretty frustrating to have to deal with unprofessional people on top of all the other typical wedding stressors. As others have said, definitely read into your contract and see how big of a financial hit it would be to just break the contract. If it’s something you can deal with, it might be worth looking into a different photographer. It’s one of the most important days of your life, you deserve a photographer who will follow through on their promises and put your mind at ease.

Well if it's been over the 2-4 week period it's considered a breach of contract since it was stated in the contract so what does the contract say about terminating?

If you didn’t pay in full & photographer didn’t deliver the photos in time frame stated in the contract, you can drop him & you wouldn’t owe him any remaining unpaid portion, because he breached the contract. However, it can be very difficult to get him to refund you any money you already paid & you might never see your engagement photos either, if he decides to do that. In this case you might have to take him to small claims court, if you really want to pursue it.

I’d advise you to give him a call to discuss instead, or stop by his office if he has one. You might be able to sort it out this way. Start nicely & if that doesn’t work, tell him that unprofessional behavior will earn him a bad review & no tip. That might help 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would call him ASAP and talk to him about these things. Share your concerns but read the contract first.

Does he have a studio or anything like that? I would just show up if he does. I can understand the frustration. Maybe start trying to find a back up just in case.

I had a similar situation but thank god I was a year out still so I had enough time to cancel. We lost our deposit which was $400.00 but we got our engagement photos out of I took it as an even trade off. I have a new photographer now *peep my profile photo* and shes absolutely amazing and I am soooo happy I switche!

I'd try contacting him via a different form of communication before anything else.
