Dear #AskShootProof,
My contract states that wedding balances are due 10 days before the wedding date. But my client for this weekend's NYE wedding just messaged me that she won't be able to pay me until the Friday after her wedding—a full week late. (She apologized profusely, but she didn't provide any other details.) Contractually, I could just flat-out tell her "no." But I want to keep this client's experience positive. She's been really great to work with thus far, and all her other payments have been made on time. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
—Unpaid
