From their point of view, they don\'t want to risk paying a photographer and that photographer not showing up. I\'ve heard stories of photographers getting paid and then leaving town and keeping the money of a bunch of clients. They have likely heard stories like this as well but the bottom line is that they shouldn\'t book me unless they trust me (which they have said they do, it\'s more of a thing of \"principal\")
Do you have a contract that covers what happens if you \"suddenly don\'t show up\"? If so, they should have nothing to worry about. My wedding contract is about 7 pages long, and puts both me and my clients at ease, covering every possible scenario.
Most contracts are not neutral, they are written by and in most cases the protection the writer.
How does your contract deal with you \"dropping the ball\" not showing up, damaging all the media before loading onto your computer or taking forever to deliver the goods, regardless of circumstances?
You have a ton of responsibilities but the client just needs to pay on time....
