Wedding Photography – Your Photographer Canceling the Last Minute
I am trying to find ways to blog more so that I can be helpful to you, when you search for a Bay Area / San Jose wedding photographer. So, in the next couple of months, I will be using actual reviews of bride about their wedding photographers. All business name of theses Bay Area wedding photographers will be deleted.
Again, this is NOT a bride’s review of my business.
From MARGARET C. review of a San Jose Wedding Photographer:
“This was a brides worst nightmare- A message left on the cell phone less than one hour before the ceremony saying that my wedding photographer would not be there and did not have a replacement. Did not even have the courtesy to give a reason for this. DO NOT TRUST THIS PERSON!!!!!“
Yikes! This is really a sad case. A professional wedding photographer canceling the last minute is not something that happens all the time. At least, I don’t hear it often enough. Usually, when a wedding photographer cancels his or her wedding coverage, the wedding photographer will find a replacement for him/herself. Furthermore, a wedding photographer canceling the last minute should be a good damn reason. I do not know about Margaret C’s wedding photographer excuse for missing the wedding but I just hope it was a good one. The only good reason for missing a wedding are – the wedding photographer is bedridden sick or died on the way to the wedding, family death or emergency, car crash the day before or during the wedding, and car breakdown (there is always a taxi).
As far as for my business, I have a network of San Jose wedding photographers that I can rely on just in case that an emergency occurs. It has not happen to me yet but a good wedding photographer needs every bit of back up. Make sure that your wedding photographer has a network of people that he/she can rely on just in case an emergency happens. Furthermore, call them the day or two before to remind them about your wedding. I was told by one wedding photographer that he forgot to attend the wedding since he over slept!!!
