Is It Worth Suing My Wedding Photographer?

Card image cap

Location: Virginia

Hired a wedding photographer based in Texas, who said she traveled often and would be in the area around my wedding. We paid $1450 total for two photographers and 6 hours of coverage, normally $2400 but she offered us a discount, and we decided to pay in full.

Our wedding was May 30th.

On July 5th, we were told over email that our photos would be ready by next week. I have attempted to contact the photographer since to no avail. Looking back at our contract, it states that we would recieve "sneak peeks" within 5-7 days, and that full delivery would be between 8-12 weeks, with an addendum that "this can change based on busy season".

This Saturday will be officially 12 weeks, and I have not been able to get in contact with the photographer since July 5th. Is it worth getting ready to take this to small claims court? I think I'm supposed to file this in San Antonio, where the photographer operates, but I'm honestly a little mystified by the whole process.
