Videographer Drama

So I started hiring vendors over the summer including the videographer. The videographer seemed very avoidant yet said yes anyway. He didn’t want to talk about details until we got closer to the date. Fine, I understand that. Come early August and we’re making the final decisions and neither my fiancé or I can get ahold of our videographer. We waited, but wrote him off assuming he back out and ghosted us. Which he didn’t get a deposit from us or anything so that’s fine. A family friend who’s attending oh so kindly offered to record the first look and the ceremony for us on her fancy camcorder so we decided to do that instead. NOW I get a text out of nowhere from the videographer wanting to talk wedding plans. We told him we wouldn’t be needing him anymore because we got someone else to do it. He was ok with that, but instead wanted to offer us a wedding gift of a short highlight reel for free when we go do off location pictures. I’m personally am ok looking over everything because I really liked his work and wanted something like the highlight reel he’s offering. My fiancé, however, is really upset with his lack of professionalism and is not a big fan of him being involved anymore. I’m not too pleased with how the videographer went about things, but (as awful as this sounds) I‘ll be able to get what I want and for free too. My fiancé and I have no clue what to do, any advice?
