Jessica Leigh Photography

ut to her to book her for my wedding, we went through a phone call and a zoom meeting, and a few days of contact. I kept asking for the contract and she kept putting it off, and finally she sent me a long message telling me she didn't actually have my date available. Which, fine. I wish she hadn't dragged it along, because by I believe 2 days of minimal contact, I knew something was wrong, but I wanted her to tell me, because I knew it was just being dragged out. Let me preface this next part by saying, I had a previous photographer, and I was not a fan of him. One of the things I had told her, was that I absolutely, under no circumstances, wanted a male photographer any longer. I wanted a woman photographer for my own reasons, not that those matter. Regardless, in her message telling me how she didn't actually have my date, when I thought I had my photographer figured out, she tells me that she took the liberty of reaching out to her friend that's a photographer to make sure he, yes you read that right, he was available for my date, and he was. That right there told me everything I needed to know. Everything happens for a reason in my opinion, and clearly she wasn't listening to what I wanted if one of the #1 things I told her I didn't want was a male photographer, just for her idea of a solution to her not actually having my date, to be a male photographer. I have now gone with another central Florida photographer who is both wonderful and organized when it comes to her work and her dates. Clearly, I can't speak on this photographers work, since we never got that far- but I was less than impressed by the lack of professionalism and the lack of taking my wants into account and listening to me. Hopefully she learned from her experience with me, but I would not use this photographer in the future.
