Wedding Photographer, Friend, 6 Months, No Contact.

HELP! I hired a friend to do the photography for my wedding. It’s been 6 months and I haven’t heard from him. What can I do if he didn’t sign a contract? Do I have any recourse? Everyone at the wedding obviously saw him taking the pictures.

It seems to me that without a contract this will be more difficult of course, I’m not a lawyer so maybe even impossible. What I would try doing is getting a written affidavit from everyone or maybe a petition that everyone could sign as a witness to your friend taking the pictures. Then I’d take your friend to small claims court. If you paid him sue for your money back, or the value of the pictures (if you can sue for that I don’t know). Have you looked on the internet for your pictures?

Thank you very much for responding to my post - I really appreciate it. :-)

No I haven’t looked on the internet for them. I am not sure where I would look. I did a very general search… but didn’t find anything. I am worried because I don’t have proof that I paid him… he could just deny it. *sigh* I think I am stuck. But small claims court is a definite idea. :-)

If you paid him, small claims court is the only way. But do try to gather as much evidence before you go. On the internet, I would google your friends name. If you know any nicknames or user names he might use on games try that too… or business names if he has a business. Also, you might google your name and wedding (not just wedding cause you’ll get a boatload of hits. but with this search, start with a google image search, not a websearch.
