Wedding pictures

Oh man ... That hard part is the contract doesn't state a date right?

View Quoted Comment Right. When hiring her she said it would be 8-10 weeks after the wedding but the only date on the contract is a year after the wedding she doesn’t have to give us the physical stuff.

Does she have a place of business where you can show up and play the victim? I would make sure you have a paper trail because her emailing you a date could serve as a legal document. I would consider sending her a certified official letter requesting your photos in a reasonable time. Give a date with plenty of time and state that she must call you by xx date if she needs to adjust the date. Include a timeline of your verbal agreement when signing the contract along with all of your back and forth corresponded *as bullet points. She will get the message that you are preparing for legal action without saying it. I dont see why a small claims court couldnt order her to give you the footage and a refund so that you can edit elsewhere. Hopefully she is just slow and flakey rather than a scam artist.

Yikes. You definitely should have had that included in the contract... can you try reaching out to her again?

This happened to a friend of mine a couple years back and she had her sister call her photographer and act like a lawyer. I kid you not she had her pictures the following day. Might be worth a try! Hopefully you get your pictures soon!!
