    So this photographer is sort of my friend, my fiance's parents and company always use him.  He is one of those artist/photographers. So in November I bumped into him, and asked me if I would pose for some show that he's planning next year(don't worry, not nude or anything gross).  So, I took that opportunity to say, well, let's make a deal then.  You give me a good wedding package deal, and I'll be in your show.  I told him the date, the place, etc. and he said OK good, that we could negotiate later, and he even asked me if I wanted him to plan the whole thing!  So it was really busy around xmas as usual, both me and him, so I put it off until after new years.  Cuz I THOUGHT that if someone tried to book him, he would call me or FACEBOOK me, to say look, I need ur deposit.  But today I went to go talk with him and he's like OH....NO....Sorry, this other person already booked me and paid since like August.  So why make a deal with me in November, if he was already booked from like 3 months before.

    UGH then he was like, I can still do your engagement photos? He wanted to do the giant blown up picture with the 5" border that the guests sign....I was like "No, I hate those."

    Anyway, I already called another photographer friend (who I should have asked in the first place) and he said he could do it!! So, disaster averted.....phew!

    IMO I think that vendors in general say one thing and do another.  It totally sucks when you think you may have found a vendor then come to find out ooops that vendor was booked and didn't inform you.  Super sorry but at least you found another photographer!!!  Sure hope you aren't gonna be in his show anymore!
