    Definitely not professional of the photographer! I hope you find another one.

    If you cannot find a professional photographer with the date free on the short notice, I would suggest reaching out to the Fine Arts Departments at your local universities. Photography majors might be free and willing to take the job. This happened with the university I went to. When photographers or musicians cancelled short notice, there was a list of students willing to work weddings. It's not the same as a professional but might be a good Plan B!

    Did you put any deposit down? If so, are they refunding it? I'm so sorry this is happening to you and I hope you can find a new one.

    Sorry to hear that happened to you! Hopefully she has a good reason and can help you find someone else. You might have to start from square one and start calling other photographers in your area, check in the local ads, and or on social media.

    Yikes, that's unfortunate. It was also part of my photographers standard contract.

    I would suggest getting on your local wedding Facebook buy and sell group (almost everywhere has one). Post your problem, and you'll have available photographers offering their services - you can then pick one, and sign a new contract.

    That would have been a good thing to make sure was a part of the contract... I will pass that on to friends getting married in the future. Unfortunately that was not part of my contract, so it’s a bit of a disaster! Thanks for all of the advice ladies

    Horrrible thing to happen to you. Get your deposit and other payments back since they cancelled on you. Good luck on finding a photographer.

    Definitely look at your contract to see about a cancellation claus. My photographer has it written in ours as well that if she needs to cancel, she is responsible for finding an equal replacement and will return our deposit to us. Most legit photographers have this same thing! Definitely take a look, and i wish you all the best 😪

    I was going to ask the same thing! Look at your contract and see what it says. Our photographer also has the same cancellation policy where she has to find an equal replacement.

    Did you have a cancellation clause in your contract? My photographer has to find me an equal replacement if they cant make it.

    Wow! That’s terrible. You could call other photographers and see if they’re available. I know someone who does photography and is trying to get more gigs. She is very reasonable
