We posted an ad on Gumtree looking for a student photagrapher or somebody looking to move into wedding photography to take our wedding pics as we don't have a massive budget and all photographers were so expensive. We got a reply from a lovley girl, who we met with and she did our engagmenet shoot and we got some lovelty pics from her. She has now announced that she is moving to Protugal with her boyfriend but we shouldn't worry as she is 100% committed to our wedding and is only a flight away. I'm totally freaking out though, H2B has said why on earth would she fly here to take our pictures for not a lot of money, so now I don't know if I should be worried or not. We have booked her a room in our hotel, which we did before we knew she was moving, and have asked her to stay as a guest after she has taken our photo's, with us putting a tab behind the bar for her drinks, but I'm worried that this wont be enough and she might let us down closer to the time. My sister has said I could be slightly overreacting but I don't know what to do!!!

Oh no!! I was hoping you would say it'll be fine :(

Hun I would look for someone else... I would no way trust that...

just had a look at flights from Portugal the week of your wedding and i agree with Laura unless she will be coming to see family/friends as well she will be paying in the region of £150- £230 for the flight

I have found a new photographer, he lives fairly local and only wants £350, I have been in touch with him and we are making arrangments too me. Feeling like a huge weight has been lifted. Thanks for all your comments guys really appreciate the support <3

thanks so much

Eeek! Glad you've managed to find someone else! xx
