Well today was fun. Had an email from my photographer saying that he has to cancel because of a family emergency. After my heart rate slowed down I read the rest of his email and saw that he has a backup, some girl that's been his assistant on a few shoots and supposedly shoot weddings at the Bellagio, also freelances. Google search brings up zero. He gave me her yahoo email address, so I asked her to send me a few references and samples of her work. No response.
So I started from the ground up, frantically emailing and filling out forms on photographer websites. Looked at the knot and wedding wire reviews, and I'm going to sign a contract with someone new tomorrow. Of course it's double what we were going to pay originally.
Moral of the story: you get what you pay for.
Let's just say I'm not 100% sure that he's telling me the truth. If you've seen my past posts I've had some doubts about my particular photographer. Let's just pray he gives me back my deposit. I will divulge names when I write my reviews.
NOT the stress I needed today, thank god for wine.
This time next week I will be married!
