My bad luck. Photography.

I called my top three photographers on my list and I feel like crying so far. 
My first choice was Justin and Mary Photograhy, Mary told me she doesn't work during off wedding season.  She didn't mention why but I am guessing she goes on vacations. 
I also called Claudia, Fabuluxe Photos.  She is booked.  
I am still waiting for my third choice.  I left him a message 2 days ago and still haven't hear anything.  Should I call again?

    I wouldn't, but I am of the opinion that brides shouldn't have to beat down someone's door to try to hire them.

    Agree!  If they had something come up they will call you and apologize, but I would just leave it be if you don't hear back.  I highly recommend Jerome Braga (Studio 1923)

    I say you should go with him! (I'm just kidding....you should make your own choices)  I have nothing but wonderful things to say, I love his work and Jen always responds quickly.  Three and 1/2 years after her wedding, my cousin still uses him for pictures of her children.  Love him!

    NOOOOO make him your FIRST CHOICE!!!!!!   I'm kidding (kind of) but I seriously think Studio1923 is the best. It totally depends on who you click with but I would say definitely set up a meeting if they're available.  Good luck!!!

    You should definitely look into Eric Brushett. He has 2012 dates still available and his packages range from $1,900 $3,300 but his work is worth at least $5,000. Check out his site: ericbrushett.com

    I think you should call again if you really admire their work. You never know what might be preventing him or her from returning your call... When I first inquired about the band I eventually hired, apparently I mistyped my phone number! I was so bummed that I didn't get a call back, until I got an email asking why I wasn't answering!

    Travis Flynn is my photographer and he's amazing!!! I've been to 2 weddings that he's done and the pictures he takes are so personalized to the couple! They're just fantastic photos!
