BIG SCARE YESTERDAY! Long...

So yesterday afternoon I get a voicemail from Nick (who i love!) from CLM asking me to call him back ASAP. I got a bit concerned since everything is scheduled, our payments are being taken care of and all was well!

I call him back and he said that he just got notification that our photographer's insurance had been cancelled. So, I remain calm and ask him what that means. He tells me that without valid insurance they are not allowed on premises (which i knew but thought maybe he would let us slide lol) He said they could have taken out new insurance or something just to call and make sure.

Fast forward to a little while later when my photog returns my call. She was SO mad that they had called me. I understand where she is coming from but was glad Nick called. she said they still have insurance and it was some sort of error and that she would call CLM. SO i let it go!

Next, I get another call from CLM. Nick asks me where we obtained the certificate of insurance from. I explain that the photog sent it to us. He then tells me that she told him that she never sent us one and doesn't know where we got the false certificate from! This was a BIG LIE! So now I am pissed because she lied to him about that! As of this point he was thinking that they didnt actually have insurance and since they got caught they decided to try to blame us! He told the photog that she had til the end of the evening to fax over the valid certificate of insurance.

Fast forward another hour. I am still remaining calm, worked out and tried to not worry. But meanwhile I am envisioning having no photo or video ofo ur day! CLM calls me back and says they got the certificate of insurance and everythign is fine. But they seemed very uneasy that all of this went down and I dont blame them! I feel a little funny that the photog lied about this! Do you think I should contact her again? I am glad it worked out and that we have a photographer, but i still feel a bit uneasy! I don't drink, but I almost started yesterday!

leave it be, its to close to your wedding to start worrying about it...

but be in constant contact with her after the wedding. If she really lied about insurance she may be having financial issues. Just stay on top of her.

Then not to worry, I am sure everything is fine. Apologize to CLM and let it go. You have enough to worry about.

Se should not have lied to CLM about the certificate. That is very unprofessional, and I would contact her and make sure that everything is going according to plan, there might be a reason the ins was cancelled under the policy she gave you.

Oh man this is such a tough one.. honestly as soon as they would have dropped that lie on Nick (whom I met, he is very nice) I would have wanted to drop them as a vendor, but date twin, it would be so hard to find someone to do your wedding at this point... just keep them and try not to stress.. dont say anything to them either cause you dont want them to be spiteful on your photos lol

This reminds me of a story when I purchased my apt.
The building's insurance had expired and bank with loan told me. I called board and went crazy obtaining it. I AM THE ONE WHO GOT IT and sent to bank. There was all this back and forth. Anyways, it was resolved and fine.

I think that it's just a clash of personalities, miscommunication, and too many people (meaning those two ) involved..
