Wedding Photography contract promised RAWs but didn't deliver. in Business of Photography Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Folks, Similar to the situations I have been reading about on here, with the exception that my contract (I am the client) promised that I would be receiving RAW images in addition to JPGs. I'm an amateur photographer and handy in Lightroom so this is something that was important to me and helped justify the cost I was paying. We've paid in full on time according to the contract but just recently found out that the photographer apparently either forgot to shoot in RAW mode or has somehow not kept the files around despite the contract guaranteeing they would be archived for one year. I guess my question is what sort of monetary value should I be attaching and/or seeking for not getting these RAW images that were contractually obligated to be delivered but weren't? Perhaps some percentage of the entire package purchase price? Our photographer was very nice and professional throughout the entire process and we don't want to burn bridges but they must realize that this was promised and a simple Sorry doesn't cut it. Just a bit upset, hope I'm not sounding too angry. Any advice from the professional community is greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
