The only reason I can think of why not to is it scares me to do that before you have a date set in writing. Is the photographer encouraging you to do it now?

I know when I've called I had to dial 011 and then the number. I don't know if you would have to do that as well.

I was thinking of paying my wedding upfront too just cause I dont want to spend that money I prefer to just pay it all and not worry about it...I would love to hear opinions on this one..

thats pretty risky...I would book my date first, Dreams books up very fast, maybe that date wont be available and you already have your photog booked..I would wait for sure then as soon as you are confirmed book ur photog

I think it's okay to pay ahead of time just as long as you know for sure that everything on your contract isn't going to change later on. I'm going to have mine paid for at least 30 days before I get there because I should have everything finalized by then and I know my guest count probably wouldn't change.

Ash0628 i wouldn’t rush into anything. wait until you have a contract from Dreams and then be sure they allow outside vendors. if your photog knows you want that date see if they have worked w Dreams before. i know some brides had a hard time w outside vendors while others were not even questioned. i am planning on using claudia rodriguez--i spoke w her and she is reserving the date for me until i hear back from Gaby.

i know you are excited and anxious to get it all done asap (we all are), but i would just sit tight before putting $ down on a phtog with out knowing FOR SURE. you still have PLENTY of time. as soon as i sent my Q&A back i had some for of a contract within a day. i have made adjustments to it and I’m still waiting on a response but that’s a different story ha ha

just be patient and I’m sure your photog will still be available in a week

BE STORNG girls and stash that money aside until your wedding. Im sure there is nothing taht would happen if you did pay ahead of time, but personally i would feel more confident knowing that they need to bend over backwards for me bc they are still waiting on my final payment. im sure they would do so even if they had your full payment, but what if you decide to make last min changes once you arrive and you have a hard time gettign a refund/adjustment.

i would wait if i were you....like i said hide or stash the $ away so you are not tempted to spend it. heck give it to your mother so you know it will be in safe hands

best of luck!
