Contract - Contract - Contract

Weddings are once in a life-time event (normally) at least one at a time.
Get a contact to stop any crapola such as this.

If I was a Judge, I'd read this guys letter and throw it at him in small pieces while advising the photographer of a counter-suit.

People are horrible, some moreso than others. I can't imagine shooting a wedding without a contract. However, that would make no difference to the jerk who is suing him. There would have had to have been a clause prohibiting the client from suing.

I'd love to be on that jury.

Absolutely ridiculous ..............

It might be difficult getting a jury for that trial. On the one hand, you have all the people who think of themselves as photographers, and who know that not every picture is perfect. Then there are those who have a grudge against photographers because they had a lousy class photo taken when they were in the eigth grade. Then you have the fact that it is a lawyer who is doing the suing. There might be people in the general population who do not like lawyers.

I hope we learn how this turns out.

This is just one more reason why I don't get involved with other people or money where photography is concerned.

and no wonder that wedding photographers want more money all the time. Frivolous lawsuits drive the price up for everything.

The fact that one of the couple is an attorney tells a lot of the story. Fortunately, being an attorney is an honorable profession so I am quite sure he or she will do the right thing.

I would hate to have this attorney to reprsent me, he is a fricken moron. I agree with the statement, "the judege is going to read the letter and tear it in little pieces"

They simply want something for nothing....

Then we all wonder why no one likes attorneys...

What do you call a 1000 attonreys at the bottom of the ocean......A START

Are you aware, though, that attorneys who fall into shark infested waters are almost always safe. Professional courtesy, you know.

If we're going to start on lawyer jokes, I doubt that this forum has enough storage capacity..

Of course, I think we all realize that, as in everything else, it's a few bad apples that give all of them a bad reputation. I've known several lawyers who were fine people. Still, the jokes are funny.

What do you call a group of lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean? A beginning.

And then there was the engineer who died in an automobile accident.

He found himself at the pearly gates, and St. Peter told him that his death was premature. It wasn't scheduled until twenty years later. St. Peter called a soul in the records department, and he had no idea what to do in this case. He then called someone from security, who replied that no one could gain entrance who wasn't on the roster for that day.

St. Peter reluctantly told the engineer that he would have to go to the other place and wait, but assured him that he wouldn't be forgotten.

So the engineer found himself in hell. And it was hot. And dry. And the sulfur fumes almost overwhelmed him for the first few months.

He then went to one of the lower level demons and asked for permission to make a dam in the small stream at the edge. "It would give us a little drinking water, and maybe a little swimming hole for some relief from the heat," he asked.

Well, after a ton of paperwork he was allowed to dam up the stream. And lo and behold, there was a bit of drinking water.

After a few months, the engineer built a small irrigation channel and eventually grew a few acres of grass and the start of a small woods.

After ten years, the irrigation had expanded to many square miles. The engineer added some turbines and generators to the dam and there was electricity. And air conditioning.

Eventually the engineer built what amounted to a world-class golf course (except it wasn't in the world, but that's a minor detail).

Finally the twenty years passed and St. Peter called the devil to have the engineer returned to heaven where he belonged. The devil said that he didn't think he would let the engineer go -- the benefits that accrued to his environs were too great, and he just couldn't afford to lose the engineer.

They argued for several days, and finally St. Peter said that he was going to sue. HAH! Said the devil. Where do you think you're going to find a lawyer?
