Photographer Destroys My Photos – Should I Get a Refund?
Photographer Destroys My Photos – Should I Get a Refund? Great Question! All in all, we are generous with information. From time to time couples ask us for advice. Once in a while the request is after the fact. Sooner or later, disaster strikes. When we see this, we are sad. Because no one wants that for anyone else. This comes to the point of this article: If a Photographer destroys your photos, should they be compensated for the work done prior to the loss?
The story originally was posted on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, when a saddened groom asked the community on Reddit if his request for a refund was unreasonable based on the premise that a Photographer Destroys My Photos.
“My wife and I hired a photographer for our wedding for $2,000, and we were eagerly awaiting our photos,” stated u/LimaBean481. “Fairly recently I was contacted by the photographer, apologizing profusely, and telling me he’s not going to be able to get us the photos due to a fire that ravaged his entire house.
Here’s the catch, though: he’s only offering us a 90% refund ($1800) instead of the full $2000 one. He says the differential is due to the “huge amount of time he put into editing, the 5 hours he spent shooting at the wedding, and the hour-and-a-half round trip he drove to shoot.” So that’s $200 we’re out.”
The facts are this.
The facts are this. The photographers house did burn down. Consequently, they had a complete loss. Chiefly, everything they own, plus the wedding photos. Emphatically, all of this is true. Also, the fact that the photographer did do work is also true. Overall, it is a tragic situation on both sides. Hence, my point is this – If a Photographer Destroys My Photos, then the photographer is 100% negligent in the loss of the images. And here is why.

Recently a Facebook post appeared to blast a Wedding Guest at an Unplugged Wedding, for interfering with a Photo of the Bride walking down the aisle with her dad. The photographer accused the guest of ruining her shot, and taking a moment away from the bride, her dad, and the Groom. The post was designed to garner exposure for the Photographer ( it has gone semi-viral ). That being said, it does bring up the topic of Unplugged Weddings and whether or not your guests will respect the concept. Our recommendation to avoid this potentially stressful situation is to insure you have multiple photographers. Safety in numbers. Always. It is at this point that the topic of having two photographers is clear. At the end of the day, no matter what happens on your Wedding day, it is a one off event. N
