Completely agree. I spent $500 for my wedding photos and only got two pictures that was half way decent. However I also figured I got what I paid for. The photographer had some private personal issues going on at the time and I figured she could use the money. I got what I paid for. It never crossed my mind to sue her. If I wanted real professional photos I would have paid more.

For our wedding, we asked three friends who were photographers (only by hobby) to take some pics as their present. We had wonderful shots, and 3 different styles. For me it was a special day, yes, but marriage is the rest of your life. Pictures of us later with our kids, & soon to be a grandbaby too!, mean more to me... but that's just me ☺️ Those photos look pretty good and she took quite a lot of shots for $700.

Before hiring a photographer for a wedding you have to see the portfolio and meet the photographer !

Bridezilla's remorse of vendor is nearly always deflected remorse of groom.😂

She’s got the photos on a USB. If “the color is off” is your main complaint, that’s the place that printed the photos, not necessary the photographer. Every photo app I’ve ever seen on a computer or phone has editing capabilities. My daughter’s wedding photographer decided artsy (?) photos of a bunch of key moments would be a good idea. I didn’t agree, but I just realigned them before having them printed. And that was more than ten years ago

Good work ain't cheap, Cheap work ain't good.

I was waiting for *restaurant-steak* example from Judge Judy 😂😂😂

She hired the poor girl knowing she didn’t have much experience, and not knowing how she’d fared previously. She got what she wanted to pay for. The photographer seems as though she didn’t promise she could do any better a job than she did.

Considering how much she paid, the pictures look lovely lol I didn’t think anything was wrong with the pictures 😅

This case reminds me of Tyra Bank's quote, 'I have only one photo in my hands. And this photo represents the girl who will still be in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model'.

This plaintiff doesn't seem to understand how photography works. You take lots and lots of pictures, then pick out the good ones. It sounds like the defendant supplied her with all the pictures, instead of just the good ones (maybe so the plaintiff could decide what she wanted to keep or not?) and now the plaintiff can't wrap her head around why SOME of them are bad.

i never trust facebook so much when it comes to stuff like that because anyting can happen

The photographer did mentioned that she’s done 2 weddings !! Not her fault … they still picked her

Amateur photographer gets sued for not being spectacular.

Wow 😮 I paid $1300 in 1999 for a photographer which wasn’t much. It was his first professional event but loved his portfolio. He also let me choreograph most of my photos I am an amateur photography myself. He & his wife did loose a roll of film. Plus the camera his wife had, she took out of focus photos of the wedding ceremony over all I was happy with him. The first photographer I interviewed was a snob. When I said I want both color and black & white photos he scuffed at me. I was ready to pic up and leave then but didn’t. I wish I would have. It would have sent a clear message to him.

So basically she wanted Grade A photography on a Grade B budget - B for broke btw. Now she thinks she deserves $5k?!

A friend of mine suggested to his sister that she hire me, a professional wedding photographer, to photograph her wedding. She hired some guy from Kijiji instead for an extremely low price. Just as the ceremony began his camera jammed and he didn’t have a backup camera (as I do as a professional) and she ended up with no photos. You get what you pay for.

I knew this case was going to be over within the first 10 seconds. It's ridiculous how many brides will sue because of "bad service" for their wedding, when they're really just looking for money.

Tips for photography cases on JJ: 1. NEVER tack on pain and suffering. Ask for your money back. 2. Bring all the receipts, even the ones you think that you won't use.

You get what u pay for. $700 seems like an amateur wedding photographer price as industry standard price can run up to $3000.

This woman seriously hires a dirt cheap photographer for her entire wedding and has the audacity to bring a handful of photos that she wants to print out of over 160 of them. AND SHE WANTS $5,000?! HAHAHAHA no. I'm so happy Judge Judy dismissed this.

One thing JJ got wrong here is that you assess a photoshoot by how bad the best ones are, not how bad the worst ones are.

I woulda been like get a better photographer for your next wedding lol

The photographer was obviously new to wedding photography (and probably photography in general) and charged as such. If you want to test a new photographer's skills, probably shouldn't do it on a once in a lifetime event that you can't repeat.

For $700 she got all 164 pictures and she is upset about only 10 of them? Had the photographer simply gone through and removed those photos, it appears the other 154 were acceptable. Many wedding photographer give you a 'package' deal-say 20 or 50 photos of your choosing. I've never hear one giving the entire shoot like this

the old saying goes 'buyer beware'.

The plantiff just wants money!

I so thoroughly enjoy when a woman's "HER big day" production wedding turns to bollocks. It's never about the marriage..... only about HER getting attention. The best ones are when the groom literally dumps her at the alter, then leaves with a stripper. Woman up, ladies.... between "HER big day", rampant Wymynysm, and spousal extortion after the divorce, you're pushing men away at a record-setting pace! Marriage will eventually be obsolete, and then we'll see how "strong and independent" women aren't.

JJ didn't even hear her out. Lol. That was a quick one

What did she expect? Like JJ is really going to award $5,000 when she paid $700?! 😂

the plaintiff attempted to scam the photographer … JJ wasn’t having any of that

If there’s one thing about Judge Judy, you’re not about to argue with her.

Suing for $5,000 for a $700 photographer. Honey, if you would have paid $5,000, which is what a wedding photographer should cost, you’d have the quality pictures you wanted.

I like the photographer. She was honest and trustworthy. I would hire her. The plaintiff was obviously trying to get services for free. POS. I hope that this experience doesn't hamper the photographers career.

😂😂😂 Judge Judy is The judge

I did a couple weddings. CODE FOR I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I’M DOING, LET’S WING IT!! People spend a small fortune on a wedding, gift baskets, huge cake, dresses, maybe a band. Then go ultra cheap on the person who will provide the photographs they want to cherish for a lifetime. CHEAP MEANS PAYING TWICE AS MUCH IN THE END.

If you hire the CHEAPEST photographer you can find, (with the least experience taking wedding photographs), then you get what you pay for! (Common sense would tell you, don't expect a Rolls Royce for the price of a Volkswagon.)

This is like being upset that something you bought from the Dollar Store turned out to be cheap, then suing them for $100.

She didn’t hire a wedding photographer… she hired an amateur or hobbyist who had photographed a couple of weddings. My next immediate question would be ‘can you show me a sample of your work from those’ and if I wasn’t satisfied with the quality, would have paid more and hired a professional.

At the end, the plaintiff tries to save her case, "Wait, your honor. Those pictures I showed you were the best ones. You should see the bad ones." Huh?

she should have brought all the photos

Pay $700 claims $5k😂

None of the photos she wants to 'blow up and put in an album' are of her walking down the aisle, saying their vows, cutting the cake, together with family members...or any of the other special moments of the wedding - she wants them on a tractor which she and hubby could easily recreate with another photographer.
