Strange request from photographer?

Autumnroseee, 18 June, 2012 at 12:49 Posted on Planning 0 31

Hey guys,
Something funny happened today and I thought I would just share with you what happened.
I was looking into a photographer, and I emailed them asking about prices etc.
So they emailed back and asked when my wedding was... so I told them...
they emailed me back saying they weren't available on that day, but would I consider moving the date of my wedding to accommodate them?
Honestly the cheek of some people, I mean there are plenty of other photographers around...
anyway this made me laugh and I thought I'd share! haha x

    Well you know it's clearly more important than the venue and registrar... x

    Dream venue maybe, but photographer or band? They'd have to be pretty awesome!

    It was written really formally! I know apparently they worked for the BBC in the past or something... but I'm not that fussed, I just thought they had nice pictures! x

    I had this too Autumn! Although I was probably making out that I really wanted them (can't remember seems ages ago!) But they said what about having our wedding on a different date!

    I believe that I know who you are referring to.....and people have changed their wedding dates to get this photographer. IIRC, it was a husband and wife team. Quite a lot of money for this tog though if it was this one......

    I'm not sure, might have been?
    Personally, the actually getting married is way more important than who takes the photos! x

    I have had it the other way, but slightly earlier in the planning process.. a bride came to me with 3 dates to check my availability, and then booked the venue to match the slot I had free

    There is a difference between a couple prioritising what's important, and the vendor attempting to do it

    I actually would have moved the date to accommodate our TOG but only because we love our TOG and could be flexible on date so we were syncing our date around TOG, Venue and registrar.

    I had this happen funkyjameseo. I photographed a couples baby and when they tried to book me for their wedding, I was already booked for their day. So they moved it and are now getting married in Ibiza and I'm going with them! Can't wait.

    Saying that, they hadn't got a lot booked, only the dress and venue I think so they are now using the same venue for their party when they get back.

    Thats fine, and I totally understand that... but I was just shocked that it was the photographer that asked me to, rather than me choosing to (I haven't changed the date btw) x

    Mind you, on the other hand, we get some strange enquiries? Some with no date booked yet, some with a range of dates & some booking a date & then changing it a couple of times?
