<p>I do have a contract which states he would provide images of the full day starting from bridal prep to the evening. Some of the pictures are ok, alot of them are out of focus and a lot are of the back of my husbands head.<br> The photograopher showed us albums and a webpage which he has, ( i have now found out his has 4 other photographers working for him and putting their work on his page too).<br> As to why he gave me these pictures, i asked if he had more because the edited ones were rubbish and none of family which you would expect. So he sent me all the pictures including the inappriprate ones of one of my friends. My step dad is a photographer but i refused to let him do all the wedding pictures as he had enough to do walking me down the aisle and he said the same why did he send those pictures to you? He was £400. His facebook page also has 4.9/5 star ratings ? no idea how though.</p>

<p>I recently got married on the 20/6/15. We hired a photographer who was recommended at short notice as our orginal photographer did not turn up for a meeting. We met with the new one and he explained what pictures he would take, bridal prep, groom arriving, ceremony, formal group pictures, speeches cake cutting and first dance and a photobooth. He said that he does that many weddings that he did not need to see the venue beforehand and i have to give it to him he could talk the talk. <br /> I asked him not to put pictures of the wedding on social media which he agreed, we went on honeymoon on the monday and i got a message of him asking to use a image as advertising at 6.45pm then at 7.15pm that same night he had used it for advertising even though we were away and didnt agree to this. He then put another image on my social media saying more images would be put up the following day, i message him to remind him i did not want them on social media which he assured me they would not be put on. The following day the link to all my edited images were put on social media i phoned him to get them removed.<br /> The edited images he then sent us included of 65 pictures of one of my bridesmaids (fair enough) only 11 pictures of the groom (? ok more of bridesmaid than groom hmmm) and 20 pictures of our videographer (nice guy but dont want him on my wedding album). There were no images of either of our parents. He didnt get any of the bridal prep, groom arriving, set up of the venue either as we requested and e agreed to. i phone him asking if these were all the images he had because i was very upset with them, he said he would post me every single image on disk edited or not. 6 disks arrived in the post a couple of days later, still no images of our parents very upset. 4/6 disks had out of focus blacked out blurry pictures that could not be used however there is 2 images of one of my friends bottom, 3 images of the same friends clevage and he was trying to get a up skirt picture of her as two were out of focus and final one in focus! Fuming is not the word he spent more time taking pictures of one of our guest than getting the important ones. He even took a picture through a window of two other guest legs. I have emailed him explaining we are not happy but am still awaiting a reply he has been paid in full. The person who recommended him to us said we should contact the police after he saw the images of the upskirt shot but im not sure they would be able to do anything. Does anyone know what my options are.<br /> Thanks for reading</p>
