Should I find a new photographer?

My wedding photographer is due to be somebody I knew but she has told me that she is pregnant and the baby is due 3 weeks before the wedding. She said she will still do the photographs for me but I am worried that if anything goes wrong I will be stuck without a photographer. I also think that she may not feel like doing it if she has such a young baby to worry about and for her sake I don't want her being stressed.
I also don't want to offend her by just going and finding somebody else.

Any advice/suggestions please?

The photographer is a friend and does not specifically do wedding photos anymore. My wedding is in October and she has no other weddings to do - this was a favour to me.

I would find a new photographer if I were you or at the very least a back up photographer who can be available should the need to use them arise.
Being due 3 weeks before is too close to the wedding. There could be unforseen complications or she could even just be too exhausted to put in 110% on the day given the changes of having a baby and change in sleeping patterns. You only get one shot at your wedding photos so you want to make sure they are perfect.

Get a proffesional- it's soo worth the money.

I would find another photographer.
Especially, knowing how I was 3 week before my due date, I was miserable, tired and just didn't feel like doing anything.

And just in case something happens, and she is bedridden or deliverers early, you don't want to be stuck.

Since she is a friend, I am sure she'll understand. She might now at 1st, but come your wedding, I am sure she'll totally understand.

Good luck with ever you decide to do.

Considering she also has other clients who are experiencing this dilemma she most likely has a back up plan. Ask her for information on the photographer who will be filling for her in case she goes into labor. If she doesn't have a back up plan then you should probably consider a new photographer. You need solid confirmation someone will be there.

Ask her if she has a backup person 'in case' she isn't feeling up to being your photographer that day. Tell her, you don't mind if she can help you find someone else reliable so she can relax and enjoy the day as a guest and new Mom.
If she is your friend, you can approach her.

If she's good at her job, she'll most likely have a back up. This might be an assistant or colleague who she works with, or she may contract it out to another reputable photographer.

Talk to her and voice your concerns. If she has no back up plan, then look elsewhere.

I would definitely find another wedding photographer. You shouldn't be worried up until the day of your wedding about whether or not you're going to have a photographer with or without a baby in tow. Where do you live? I know a couple in the Philadelphia area that are great.

Wow, the same exact thing happened to my fiance and me. We originally thought we would just keep her and let her assistants shoot the wedding if she was unable; however, the more we thought about it, the more uncomfortable we became. She may rush the session to get home with her new baby or not take all the photographs you wanted. Wedding photos are not cheap and you only have one chance to get good pictures. We shopped around with three months left to the wedding and found someone better who we trusted. I have no regrets finding another photographer. Good Luck!
