For me not to make your wedding I would have to be stuck in the hospital, or worse. And that would be very sad. But so far (knock on wood), I have never missed a wedding for any reason. I will do everything in my power to be there, so rest assured I will not call in sick because of the sniffles. I may even hire an additional photographer or assistant to help me if need be. That being said, in the highly unlikely event I can't make it, I have a network of qualified photographers that can be used as a replacement with short notice. I am part of a great community of professionals that are there to step in and help in such a terrible circumstance.
