Wedding disaster

[Ian]

I don't know if Stephen is aware of the news story on the BBC lunch time bulletin today about a wedding photographer in Wakefield (Stephen's home town) being sued by an unhappy couple?

Apparently, of 450 shots taken, only about 20 were considered acceptable, and the album lettering mis-spelled both the bride's and the groom's names.

Stephen, I think very sensibly, avoids wedding work. But I suppose someone had to do it!

Just watched it on the BBC website Ian. Its unbelievable really isn't it, and emphasises the need not to take short-cuts with a thing like this. Getting a reputable photographer to do the business is key IMHO, and it makes me cringe sometimes when I hear of people being asked by friends to photograph their wedding. Good wedding photography is an art and a skill best left to those with experience.

Re: Wedding disaster

Just googled the photographer, his website has been pulled, maybe he has stopped trading. There are a few examples of the wedding photos on the Sky News site

His site probably crashed after people looking to see just how bad his was

The story was plastered across my News aggregator yesterday and I'd looked up his website - but his webbie had been pulled. There were some business site links listing him as a "true wedding professional" though.

Here's a link to the DM version of the story - complete with some of his shocking, disgraceful pictures.
