Weddingbee Blog

(For the first part of the “my photog half-cancelled snafu, go here.)

After a few days of mulling it over, I e-mailed the photographer back to say we’d be starting our search from scratch. I thanked him for his honesty. I mean, he could have just not told me he was double-booking, then feigned sick on our wedding day and sent a second shooter anyway. Seriously, I would have been none the wiser. But he was straight with me, and I appreciate it.

Once the e-mail was sent, I began the Google searches once again. But then! Then, I had a recollection that was no less than divine. It popped into my mind that a blogger bee, our very own then- Miss Seashell had hired an Ohio photographer who I hadn’t considered. (They’re based out of Dayton, not Cincinnati…I never thought to branch out a mere 45 minutes. Best bride ever.)

Less than a week after receiving the sort-of-cancel e-mail, we booked Ms. Katie Albrecht of Blink of an Eye Photography because she takes pictures that look like this:

AND, incidentally, she is adorable:

The thing is…if I would have known about Blink of an Eye in the first place, I totally would have booked them months ago. That’s two points in the “win” column—one for Weddingbee and one for bride karma.

So here is my lesson unto you, fellow brides. Breathe. Maybe laugh. Attack problem ASAP. There might be a major blessing in disguise awaiting you!

Have you had any snafus that worked out for the best?
