Call her and let her know that you will be cancelling her services and then follow-up with a letter or email (certified mail is better). You really don't have to go into too much detail as to why other than you are not satisfied with the work you've seen thus far and found a photographer who meets your needs better.She may want to charge you for the engagement photos (i.e. work already done). So there maybe some discussion there, but charges for that should be in your contract.

First, make sure you can get the other photographer. You don't want to fire this one and find out you don't have the option of the other one. Then tell her that you need to cancel her services for the wedding, but thank her for everything she has done so far. If she asks why, you can be honest and tell her you found someone who has more the style you are looking for; or just tell her that wedding plans changed and you no longer need her services.Good Luck!

Tell her that when you looked at pictures from her first wedding they looked nice but now that she has more you realize that it's just not the style you're looking for. If you want to help her out show her pictures from the photographer that you're switching to. And just say 'I realize I forfit my deposit but this is really important to me and I can't compromise'

Well there is not easy way to fire somone and I am sure I will be going threw all this too I am just starting to plan my wedding as well but just sit her down and talk real nice and calm with her and let her know whats up let her know that its nothing personal and let her know she does nice work however its just not what you are looking for because your right its your wedding a day to remember and you want everything to be perfect so just try and do as nice as you can but more and likley her feelings are going to be hurt but that happens to us all she will be fine as long as she sees your not upset about anything...on another note you left me a answer about my fiancee being deployed and I tried emailing you however there is no email for you so if you can email me yours or somthing so i can chat with you about my fiancee being deployed as well..thanks Be strong...me
