Major crisis quickly solved! (luckily)

So the other day we had a pretty major crisis with the wedding plans. There's the long version of the story and a short version. I'll tell the short version. So Saturday I got an email from my wedding photographer (Sheila) that basically said, hey I didn't get a contract from you or a deposit so I went ahead and made other commitments for the 23rd. (Might I add that the photographer never mentioned a deposit or anything when we had spoken before. Nor had she mentioned that she had another offer for that day. So we had no idea we didn't have her obligated for that day.) We were out of a photographer for the wedding day. Great. Immediately I started to panic because we were 6 days from the wedding day with no photography arrangements. Luckily Mom and Dad remembered the name of Tiffany and Marshall's photographer and gave him a call. Out of some kind of miracle, he just so happened to have enough time to take our pictures Saturday. It's a miracle! So now we have a photographer for Saturday. Talk about a close call! I can't believe that Sheila would just bail like that. Most people would call the client and say, hey I had another offer, what is your decision? But she came up with lots of excuses why it was our fault. She never made it clear that we didn't have a set contract for Saturday. It was our fault in a way, but she didn't make it clear. Oh well. Problem is solved. I'm over it.

So my OTHER photographer, Lavinda, the one who took the engagement and prebridals, called me yesterday. I had mentioned in an email that Sheila had bailed on me and we were out of a photographer. I had asked if she knew anyone we could call. So yesterday when she called me, she said she was just sick that that had happened. She felt so bad for recommending Sheila to me and wished that she could take the wedding pictures herself. (Lavinda will be out of town this weekend, which is why she's not taking the pictures) She just felt sick she said. She had even called around to people she knew to see if they were available. How sweet of her!! So I told her things worked out with another photographer and we'd be okay. Lavinda has been such a sweet heart and has really bent over backwards to help us and to tailor the photography stuff to our needs. I suggest her to anyone who may be getting married here in Eastern Idaho! http://lavinda.bigfolioblog.com/ is her blog. She posts pictures she's taken on there and such. Check it out!

So Lavinda brought me a CD of about 80 prebridal pictures she took on Thursday. I posted a couple pictures so you could get a taste of how well she does. I think I'll be getting some more from her soon. I'm not sure though. But anyway, I had to share that crazy story and show you a couple prebridal pictures. It's only a couple more days and we'll FINALLY be married! YAY!!
