So does everyone really pay the photographer and videographer everything before they deliver any product? Seems reasonable to hold some portion back to incentivize them to deliver on schedule...Is that just me?

No, my contract has the final payment at delivery. It's about 25% of the total. I would be weary to do all before the delivery. I've heard brides getting ghosted.

Yes most vendors require to be paid in full prior to the wedding.

Floral, band, caterer...people who are done on wedding day, I understand. Photographer and videographer...you have no leverage if they are paid in full.

As a videographer, I would not start editing until paid in full.

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes. I'm an attorney and don't work without a deposit, so it's not unusual to me

Deposit is different than paid in full before you do any work.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step.

However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
