Daniel, I would say that at this point the most important thing would be to get those pictures.. She is probably just embarrassed that they are not of the highest quality and she is not good enough to make them look any better with photoshop. I would suggest trying to send her an email saying that you understand that she's new to photography, that you knew you were taking a risk in hiring her and that if she can just give you the original high resolution images you will be happy.

Then instead of paying her (which she should agree to) you can instead use those funds to find a good photographer or retouching service to make the most of what is there. That way you have those images of family and reception that you can't get back.

Then on your one year anniversary... hire a good photographer, get back in your tux and dress and do a reshoot of your couple portraits! Find a local photog that will empathize with what happened and they may just charge you what they charge for an engagement session. (your wife can have her makeup done for free at Nordstrom if needed!)

Good luck!!

Hey Jeff, Just wondering how photomechanic compares to noise filters like noise ninja and noiseware professional (imagenomic). Does yours work faster being it's own program than having to work within photoshop?

Thanks!
