what to do when you suddenly can't be available?

I'm sure that your clients are more understanding under the circumstances. Danzel's are sure to look at their "predicament" as not being a top priority. By the way, how much notice did you give your clients?</p>

<p>A well-known photographer friend of mine was in a car accident & missed a few of his weddings, He hired one of the big shot photographers in town to photo his weddings. Not some punk or scattered inexperienced pro want-to be. But these people are paying for you, you sold yourself to them. I have photo'ed weddings sick, in severe pain that I could not stand for over 2 minutes, my dad in ER thinking he was about to die, sometimes I would leave work & go straight to a wedding to photo. Cut vacations short, drive 100's of miles just to get back for a wedding. Wife so sick I had to take her to the ER immedtially after the wedding, I even was in the middle of photo'ing a wedding while my 1st grandson was born. You have to make sacrifices, even your weekday job. You need to contact fellow photographer right now, 10 minutes from now call the bride.</p>
