My Photographer just backed out...

[Amzizzle]

So apparently my photographer is going to be 8 months pregnant for the wedding date,I''m very happy for her because she is so sweet and nice,and felt terrible about backing out.

So now I need a new one! Any recommendations for Orlando,Fl? I need it to be affordable as well.Thanks!

Amzizzle, your photographer really ought to make recommendations for substitutes, since she is the one breaking your contract. That doesn''t mean you have to take any of her suggestions, but tell her you need a list of people she would trust to take over the job and don''t take no for an answer.

Ditto this 100%. She should know of others in her field that have a similar style that should give you a good jumping off point.

I actually just sent her an e-mail,asking for recommendations.I also alerted my wedding planner so she could get some names together at the least.

Well apparently I''m not allowed to give you business information via PriceScope. Which is strange because I''m sure if I said: "Hey, my boyfriend and I are using Whitney Smith from Tampa, Fl for our engagement pictures and she''s pretty awesome." It wouldn''t be edited. (or will not be edited I guess)

Now I''m affraid to even post Anthony''s website, for fear that I will be booted form P.S. all together.

 

[kagordo4]

But I am really sorrt about the circumstance. It''s very hard when you want to be happy for someone but are seriously bummbed yourself. Thank god for wedding planners.

No promotion allowed, the rule is pretty simple, I think. If you have questions, ask the mods.

We are always available to ask questions. But yes we do not allow self-promotion of any kind. Meaning if you are affiliated with a business (in any way) we do not allow you to recommend it, post websites, etc. Vendor recommendations who you personally have used are different than recommending your own/ a friend''s business.

We know that no harm is meant but we must keep the rules fair for everyone.

Yes! Elegant Imagery! I'm in South Florida and using them but they travel all over and are just below you in Melbourne. Love their work! I found they charged less than places local to me and I am getting a package that includes a photo booth at my reception for the same price as several more local to me places charged for their basic package!

I have a few friends with weddings/engagements recently who all used different photographers. I'm in Tampa, should be close enough.

Jason Angelini Photography - Friend married in May 08, beautiful photos. Had a fairly inexpensive wedding.
Link

Carrie Wildes Photography - Friend married just recently in May 10, beautiful photos, married in Orlando, though photographer is based in Tampa.
Link

Divine Light Photography - Friend getting married in November. Her engagement pictures were fantastic, based in Tampa.
Link

John Paul Kindig Photography - Friend getting married in July. Her engagement pictures were beautiful, based in St. Pete I think.
Link

ETA: I know none of these photographers and have no affiliation other than them photographing friends events.

I actually have a meeting with her coming up! I know this is far fetched,but are your TTD pictures the ones that involve a bottle of liquor and a knife?If they are,they are absolutely fantastic! I think I also would have seen your wedding photos as well and not only were they stunning,but so were you!

hope I didn''t sound all stalkerish lol

Yes that is me and my hubby! Seriously we cannot say enough about Tabitha. DH calls her Tabby and he absolutely LOVES her! We had a previous photog booked (Jessica Leigh) and after i met Tabitha I HAD to have her and switched. She was worth every penny and MORE! DH said that was the best decision we made about our wedding. DH is also very shy, and was so comfortable in front of her! Goodluck!!!

I agree... it''s your photographer''s job to suggest replacements and to facilitate and assist you.

That''s so good to hear blonde! My FI doesn''t love being in front of the camera so that will be a great help. If you don''t mind me asking where did you get married? Oh and another weird coincidence I was booking are cake vendor,and as I was checking their facebook to see their work I saw your cake! I promise I''m really not stalking you.

We got married at the Cathedral of Incarnation and then had our reception at the Farmers Market! Everything looked fabulous! Well besides my HORRIBLE florist! Do NOT book Jonathan''s Flowers.... you will regret it.. if you did.. take the lose and book someone else, it will save you the trouble...trust me... i was setting up my own reception (along with my hubby,bridesmaids, groomsmen, and some very nice guests) because of what happened with his employees... Our cake was delicious and freaken amazing if i must say so myself! We absolutely loved it and Its Tasty Too did a WONDERFUL job! If you need any more recommendations for any vendors let me know I''d be glad to help! Our DJ was amazing (we got so many compliments on how everyone loved our reception more than any other wedding they have attended because of how great he was), our officiant was freaken awesome too.... I dont think you are stalking me Tabitha and I both had numerous messages after she posted pics of my wedding on facebook. I got a lot of random messages from people about how they loved my pics and she got a lot of random people that i knew that loved the pics so much they just had to tell her it was funny

I actually almost did go with Jonathan''s Flowers! I''m sorry to hear that he didn''t come through for you

The only thing I have left to do is favors and rings. Any suggestions for favors? or good jewelery stores in the area?
