Wrecking a wedding

The plaintiff says she hired the defendant to photograph her wedding in 2016 and she has yet to get the images. All he gave her was a DVD with a few unedited pictures. She’s suing him for a refund and then some. The defendant says the plaintiff is impossible to deal with, and he refuses to offer a refund.

[@TVKia]

Those pictures do not look professional. They look like they came from a disposable camera.

[@michelledusek1839]

As a photographer, I can't imagine allowing the client to see the unedited images, and to make the suggestions on edits. The photographer is the one who should be behind the wheel - making edits and presenting the final images.

[@ashb7846]

I’d allow unedited if our deal was the client chooses select photos to be edited and receive, but if they are getting all then no way, just edit them and show the client your quality work. But yikes, these photos look like they were taken on an old phone.

[@ashb7846]

Although, even then, I’d give them a vague edit, at least fix some lighting.

[@harryschneider1760]

​@@ashb7846 lazy...edit n make all look good n maybe she would spend more to get more pics

[@Fiery.Dragon]

As a photographer, I'm sure you wouldn't take photos of an event and wait a year either. This guy might be pretty good at what he does, but it shouldn't really have gotten this far at all - and what he did bring in wasn't his best work for sure. He was just way out of his league, he took on a wedding as though he did prom photos, and charged wedding prices. I'm sure a lot of clients are happy with the work you do, because you already consider choosing the best images, and editing them, and presenting them to your client - anybody can push the shutter on a camera, but an artist makes sure their work is beautiful and captures a great experience.

[@alexrossi4464]

A good professional wouldn't even need much editing.

[@heathernks8]

"My company went out of business.". Shocking.😂

[@mrshappilymarried1]

A pissed off customer probably broke into his studio looking for their damn photos!

[@tonya-mariejablonski8804]

I took pictures at my best friends wedding with a 20.00 cameo years ago....They paid lots of money for a photographer and I took better pictures than the photographer and it didnt take me long to take them to get mailed out in the 90's...I got doubles so i had a copy and I gave them the copies of all the pictures I took....They ended up using my pictures for their album and hid the others...The couple was like family and very special to me....She asked me what I used and I told her and then she asked if iwanted money for them I told her no thats your present....you can put them all in an album how you want etc...those were theirs....They were wicked excited over my pictures...I took candids of the bridal and groom party getting ready....

[@jennifermarlow.]

That's a great story, and gave me the smile I needed today. Thank you for sharing, and affirming that there are still good people in the world that don't try to make money off their friends. People have gotten very harsh. Take care!

The defendant spoke really slow and he did not do his job well. He just kept finding excuses which is why he got sued and lost.

[@coley_6196]

Yes he did and it was making me mad cause he was just making excuses for why it had taken him so long and still didn’t finish the work

[@laurabg379]

He really was full of excuses. 😂 My business was broken into three times, The company I use went out of business, The dog ate my homework, The spoon ran away with the fork.

[@heathernks8]

I had to pause the video and Google after reading this comment. Only 10 more days (next Friday) til the last show?! That explains why I suddenly got two notifications on my old comments on this channel! For those who don't know, it says it's canceled (along with Mathis) due to a shrinking daytime syndication landscape, but I quit watching during the Pandemic. The poor audio quality of the Zoom calls and the refusal to return to in-person cases just killed the suspense of the show for me.🤷‍♀️

[@projectionv.accountability1010]

If friends and family have no problem screwing us over, we should absolutely avoid the concept of patronizing someone because they have a certain skin tone. My skin came with my body. I can't fathom giving my money to someone based not upon skill, talent or education- all of which are worked for and take effort- but rather employ them because of something they did absolutely nothing to get, ie skin color. God did that part. Support good people and good businesses.

[@kaybase6967]

I don’t think he knew how to edit them because judging by the pictures, it looked like he took them with his phone. Hopefully she can get someone who really knows what they’re doing and be able to make them look better. She herself didn’t seem disappointed in the pictures (only that they weren’t edited) so at least it’s something that won’t make her sad about her wedding day.

[@chiro98]

The ‘edited’ pictures really had bad coloring…too much blue

[@thelmadickinson6811]

I thought the same thing. They look unedited or edited badly.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Terrible white balance, ugly flash, no depth of field. I'd be disappointed paying $2000 for those.

[@breakme19]

[@stacybstacyb]

Never skimp on photos. Skimp on anything else, but not photos.

[@CeltycSparrow]

So here's my question for this photographer. ALL the lady wants is what you promised her. If you have her photos, on a zip drive, and you had them ready to present to Judge Milian at court, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GIVE THE LADY HER PHOTOS AND LEAVE HER IN PEACE? You've been avoiding this woman for a year now, promising her photos that aren't there to be taken. You SEE in her email that she can't access the second album you sent her AND the photos you have on your website of her wedding are watermarked...meaning SHE can't use THEM either. And you've made her haul you to court, (and this is AFTER you led her on and avoided her for an entire year) because you couldn't be professional and decent and fulfill your contract with her in a timely manner. I can see why she is so annoyed with you. If you aren't going to be professional in your job, then you shouldn't have that job....especially when serving the public and ESPECIALLY when handling a bride's wedding photos. That is the most important moment of her life and now her memory of this day is tainted by your COMPLETE lack of professionalism and competence. You COULD HAVE been professional and called the bride up and said "I am so sorry, ma'am. This place I use went out of business, so I lost the album and I cannot provide a second photographer for your wedding. I can't give you part of what I promised now, but I DO have your wedding photographs prepared, that I took, myself, edited and on a zip drive and I have corrected the mistake I made on your wedding video. Please accept my humble and sincere apologies and a discount for your inconvenience. In addition, I will also eat the cost for what I could not give you and I will only charge you for what I could do. I can also recommend someone who can help you finish what I could not do and they do a very good job" You could have said this from the get-go and sent her said zip drive and I guarantee you she would have been satisfied with that. Because that showed integrity and professionalism and good character. You respected her enough to be honest with her about your mistake and you would have taken responsibility for it. THAT would have been the RESPECTFUL and PROFESSIONAL thing to do. Instead, you just ghosted her, ignored her, and I am GLAD you now have to PAY her. Serves you right. To the plaintiff...you made a stunning bride and it looked like you had a beautiful wedding IN SPITE OF this photographer's incompetence.
