I just got an email from my photographer that she is pregnant, due in September. She's a really sweet girl so I'm really happy for her and her husband, of course and she said this shouldn't affect my wedding at all, but FI and I are a little concerned. Seven months prenant in July in Baltimore (very hot and humid summers)... seems like it could be tough on a guest, let alone a photographer who will need to be working and on her feet for 8 hours straight. Should I be worried or assume since she said she can do it, that it'll be fine?
ETA: I checked my contract and we already have a line in it that if my photographer is unable to cover my wedding for any reason "a substitute photographer of high qualifications, subject to acceptance by Client prior to Event, will be sent to fulfill the contracted obligations." I spoke to my mom, and she thinks I should just ask who that back-up person is and if I can see their portfolio. She also suggested we inquire about adding a second photographer to our package. We're a little worried that even if our photographer can come, she may get tired earlier in the day or just have trouble with some of the shots (the way our church is, she would need to hide in some weird positions to get coverage without being seen). My mom knows I'm stressed about it now, so she offered to pay for the 2nd photographer, if that's even an option. I'm going to email my photographer today and see what she says.
It's stressful b/c I really like her and loved my e-pics, so it would be heartbreaking to have to look for someone else right now. ARRRGGG.
