Non-refundable deposit for wedding photography

I paid non-refundable deposit for wedding photography and wanted to change the photo package as we felt we don't need most of services included in the package and also wanted to use other vendors for other few services. They said they won't let us use that deposit toward other services and made us sign new package saying that they will give us 20% credit back if we sign the new contract for new package that day. Can they take non-refundable deposit if we make changes? we will be still paying more than the deposit we made.

If you signed a contract with them and the terms stated that you give them a non-refundable deposit, not much be done here I'm afraid (however, I'm not an expert in legal things, so don't take it as a legal advice).
But you didn't sign a cotract with them that included such terms, you may sue them for a refund because you didn't know about these terms.
It makes sense to purchase a wedding insurance like Markel Event Insurance, Wedsure or WedSafe to avoid getting in such troubles.
If anyone interested, you may read about types of wedding scams you should beware of.

I would double check your contract see what leeway you have there. That's terrible that they are not being reasonable.

That’s awful, but I’d say read your contract. It’s a shame that they’re being difficult about you changing wedding packages.

There may be a possible chance to transfer the deposit and get that 20% back.

If they charge you more, risk what you have signed for. Its best to ask the photographer to reassure. Also read the contract to double check.
