So I am a photographer I mainly take pictures for my own website or for friends or for things I sell. So one time I needed a model to wear some of my shirts I design and said i needed someone to practice on. My friend told me she needed engagement pictures done i agreed and i drove to the place they wanted. Afterwards she never mentioned anything about payment and was very demanding when it came to editing. I'm guessing it was because the post I made but I made it clear beforehand that those were two different matters. Anyway now shes having a wedding and it's based off people bringing food and everything other than the venue its self.  She told me I'm taking pictures. She just had a ceremony where her step mom officiated her and her husband and she invited me i thought it was because I was her friend, nope instead she introduced me as her photographer. I was a little hurt honestly anyway I plan on not even going to her wedding. I cannot work for free she invited 126 and said no one could bring a plus 1. Shes very demanding i want no part on this. It's for December of next year. What is the nicest way I can tell her I'm not going? She may have other people doing  things for her wedding so she doesn't have to pay but I'm not that stupid and refuse. I'm struggling as it is I'm trying to run a small website and just regularly use my niece or my friend for pictures of them wearing my product and she likes them but is not willing to pay. Anyway any advice is appreciated thanks During her ceremony she had me taking pictures it was only her mom dad stepmom husband and friend. She put me on blast with her parents and they all raved how they really liked my picture. Afterwards they all went to eat we agreed to meet each other outside the restaurant I waited in the cold and after they all sat down ordered drinks then she texted me to come on. I felt so out of place and found it messed up they didn't wait for me. Also I did mention payment... Were not even close friends we met through someone else only hanged out for like 3 days Also note for her ceremony I did not bring my camera i was not informed. So I still took pictures on her phone.
