I think the one thing we have been missing is that this bride contracted
(copyright issues aside) to have her wedding photographed, for a fee, and I
am sure expected quality photographs, with out scratches and blemishes, heck
she probably expected them to be in focus, go figure, now I understand that
the problem with the photos was with the printer not the photographer, but
then again the bride did not contract with the printer, my question would be
why should she settle for damaged photos of her wedding, the photographer
get paid in full, and the printer get away with a "Sorry and you have a nice
day"? I had a similar experience at one time, in the end the printer gave
free prints of the not "lost photos due to processing" I returned the money
for that event in full, apologized profusely, made them aware of the free
print offer and hoped they would understand, that was about 15 years ago, I
am still in business, I have not been asked to do other photos for that
family, but I have worked in that community.
At one time or another we as professionals have to step up and accept
responsibility for unfortunate events, cut our losses and move on.
