Ohio-Cincinnati

My photographer just cancelled - Help!!

So.. our wedding is 6-9-12 in Oxford/Fairfield. When I started looking for photographers over the summer I got a ton of great suggestions on the knot and otherwise and found someone in our budget we loved. We have scheduled our e-pics for october 16th, and I got an email today that she is cancelling due to pregnancy.... I'm FREAKING out. 99% of the people I emailed previously months ago were already booked for my date because apparently the entire cincinnati area is getting married on 6-9-12.
Here's what we need:
budget $1000.
Needs: 2pm-10pm so about 8 hours give or take.

Any Suggestions would be MUCH appreciated! However I guess I can't complain too much because this is the first real snag I've hit in planning :(

    apparently they had been trying for a long time and it was unexpected.. I mean I'm glad for her but at the same time I'm really upset because I had everything planned out with her.. at any rate do you have any contact info for them? I work nights at the hospital so I can call/email late at night and try to play phone tag during the day! :)

    Sooo I thought this was the October board, that's why I was so shocked. I thought your wedding was in October and she's just now telling you she can't do it! Lol.

    With that being said, I understand now. 

    Justin and Nadine Deetor
    They are located out of Eastgate Mall
    Their number is: 937-776-1413
    GL!

    We are also using Inlight Photography Studios! When we met with Justin (his wife, Nadine, was sick so we didn't get to meet her) we absolutely loved him & knew he was the perfect match for our wedding day! Definitely give him a call, GL!

    if she's available, check out rachel spears photography. she's shooting my wedding in may and every time she posts new stuff, i get more and more excited. she's just a few hundred more than your budget but TOTALLY worth it.

    This exact thing happened to me 2 months before my 9-10-11 wedding. Needless to say it was a real challenge to find someone, and we ended up having to almost double our photography budget. I FEEL YOUR PAIN! Good luck, the good thing is you have time!

    Similar thing happened to my sister in law and Sheena pulled thru a couple months before the wedding and really delivered!  Now she has a co-photographer, prices are around $1200, but she's probably willing to work with your budget!!

    You poor thing , I hope you find someone, I'm sure it will alllll work out eventually!!  Sorry you have to deal with this though!!

    Thanks for the suggestions :) I"ve contacted them all! ha. I'm hoping someone works out, I loved Rachael Spears but I'm trying to adjust our budget to make it work. we'll see.

    Not sure if you found anyone yet , but we are using Anthony from Precious Memory Creations photography. He's done several of my friends weddings and they all turned out beautiful. He's got some packages below $1,000 , that aren't on his website and I've been told he's easy to work with. I've read all his reviews on wedding wire too. 
    Good luck! :)
