    The safe way is only to pay once the photographs have been taken and printed and you are happy with the results, at which point you can pay by either method as you won't have any concerns.

    Any photographer who works on such a basis without even a deposit will be out of business within weeks.

    Yes, I would expect a deposit would have to be paid, but then any business that doesn't accept payment methods that have been around for a good few years now and are expected by most customers will also find those customers opting to use a more accommodating business.

    I wouldn't worry abut the photographs going wrong. It's the marriage/rest of your life you want to be more concerned about. A credit card guarantee on that would be brilliant, but not available unless you go via the excellent Thai Brides website.

    Best of luck.
