We did a contract with the photographer and now they have breached it because they didn't like our criticism of the photos. We paid $700 and the engagement photos were done as a trade of services. I babysat their 5 children from 12pm-12 am, drove around his wife, did manual labour by putting together a rock garden for the mother-in-law, drove her around town, etc etc and all they did was meet us for a few hours took a few pictures and they were awful. I was upset when they thought that I was just doing this out of the goodness of my heart but now they want me to give my photos of us to them. They were the ones who said 14 days to the wedding that they don't think they were right because I didn't like the photos. My fiance has a rod in his back. He can't pose the way they want him to, and they took the pictures at all sorts of weird angles and were really goofy. I don't mind that they were goofy but would it have killed them to get one shot where we actually looked decent? I need something to display. I put the pictures on my own SD card, not theirs, and they shot about 250 shots. Most of them of the venue and scenic areas. Would it have killed them to take more time with us? They didn't even explain to my fiance how to pose. I am this close from taking them to small claims court. The wife is bickering that if they are even missing one photo that they won't give us back any of our money. The stupid part is that it was cash. I don't even know if it is a registered business.. So angry right now. Why should I even give back the photos? They are my property as much as they are his but he breached his contract.
