I sent a bank transfer to our photographer over a week ago to cover the deposit required to book them and also put the booking form in the post. I then sent an email to the photographer to confirm that I'd sent a bank transfer and posted the booking form that day but haven't even had a response or any acknowledgement.
Should I be worried or am I overreacting? Think I'm a bit concerned as when I was getting details from the photographer they went very quiet for a couple of weeks until chased up when they realised that we're getting married about 70 miles from their home town (even though all their literature says they're happy to travel).
I don't want to annoy the photographer by chasing them up too soon but it's making me think they're unreliable - if someone had put a few hundred pounds in my account I'd acknowledge it immediately. I'm tempted to email them to ask them to confirm receipt of the deposit money / booking form as I'm a bit concerned I've not had an acknowledgement and to check they're still happy to do our date / venue and if not ask for a refund.
What do you think?
