Hi Candice, it's actually against the forum rules to post that you need a photographer for your wedding and for photographers to send you an email or reply that they are open for your wedding date.
What I might suggest is to look at the vendors on the forum, see who you like and then send them a quick email to see if they have your wedding date open. I know it's more work for you, however we Mods put this rule in place to avoid our brides being solicated.
Good luck and sorry for your loss.
