3rd Trimester
F/U Wedding photographer etc~
I just got word back from my wedding photographer (If you had followed my posts about it earlier you would know why I am unhappy.) That she and her soon to be husband will NOT be paying us back any money from the ceremony or from the photos.
I asked her why and she said that she was happy with the quality work she provided us.
"Really Britni, you're happy giving me a picture of my wedding cake being cleaned up off of the floor?"
She tells me that 3 of my family members told her to take the picture of it however she will not disclose any names.
"I have a hard time believing that 3 of my family members told you to take the picture when 1-you shouldnt listen to what anyone BUT the groom and I tell you to take a picture and 2-everyone in our family said that it was rude-
Is that a picture you would like to frame and hang on your wall?!"
what can I do?? Im so pissed off that I am literally shaking- Im sure my blood pressure is through the roof and all I want is a piece of cheesecake. (Or to punch this gal on the nose...)
help.

It sucks that you're unhappy and the entire situation.
BUT...there is the possibility that your wedding cake hitting the floor will become one of those things you and the hubbs look back on and laugh about years from now. I know I would.
Contact a lawyer about your situation, though. Or small claims court. I don't honestly know what to do...
I can't remember-were you considering taking her and her husband to small claims court? If you were, it sounds like that is the next logical step, after the cheesecake, anyway.
Sorry that you're dealing with this.
Take them to small claims court.
Obviously this isn't going to get resolved by telling her you are unhappy (because she doesn't care).
Ugh...What a biotch!
we did laugh about it and still do- however i still find the photo of it to be out of taste.
a cake falling isn't likely something ANYONE would forget- why capture it?
Eh, to each their own as they say. I would find it hilarious and a great memomry to be able to share with others later down the road.
Good luck, regardless.
COURT! OMFG SUE THEM!!!!!!!!
ETA: I realize I am not in 3rd tri. The OP emailed me the link to comment on sooo disregard that lol

If you are going to take them to small claims do it sooner than later. I'll be married for 2 years in September and still have no wedding album! I cant even begin to get into the story but I shouldve done something about it a year ago and didnt and now it may be too late. If they are like this with you, you dont know how many other people they are like this with and how its affecting their business.
My photographer took some crappy pics at our wedding to boot - granted, we have close to 700 pictures but a lot of them I would rather not have had taken and had fewer, better quality pictures - so I hear your pain.
Good luck!
Ditto. I missed the other posts too so I don't know what the other issues are either..
Check your contract. Most will say something about how to handle a situation if you are unhappy with their services. A vendor with a semi-decent lawyer is going to have a statement in their contract stating that their total liability is limited to the total value of their contract.
Given that the overall value of the contract was very small - you'd likely spend more time, effort, and money taking them to court than you would recapture. (And that's only if the court sides with your arguments and you recapture anything.)
I've been following the drama from the beginning and it totally sucks. I'd be tempted to take her to court just to prove the point (and/or scare her into giving you your money back) - but I don't know how successful the actual court process would be for you.
I'd sure as hell let everyone in town know that the women is a fraud though.
I am having the same thought. My husband and I own a wedding photography studio - and I can't fathom what you're so upset about. A wedding photographer's sole responsibility is to capture your day. If there is a single photo you are unhappy with - ask her to take it out of your final selection.
What am I missing?
Of the photos provided, I have maybe a total of 20 usable photos- the rest are shiit photos hence why I am so unhappy.
It's not that it's just ONE picture that has me pissed off- it's almost all of them
My situation exactly. I still won't allow anyone to talk about our wedding photos or our photographer around me because otherwise I'll burst into tears. I hate him.
