It depends on how much he charged you for the photography services.  If he charged $300 and gave you back $100 , than that is probably fair, and you probably won't get anymore money, even if you sue.  If he charged you $1000, then you are probably due a little more money, in the neighborhood of $300 to $350.  \nUnfortunately for you, you probalby cannot get a full refund, even if you sue.  The courts will say that he provided a service from which you recieved some benefit.  Though you are not satisfied, if the court were to order a full refund, it would invariably carry the stipulation that you must return ALL the photos that the photographer took, since they are his property if you don't pay for them.  You most likely want to keep what photos you did get, so that rules out the full refund.  Also, no matter how angry you are, you cannot recover damages for your anger and disappointment.  You can only recover actual damages, which would be around 1/3 of the contracted price, since the photographer delivered on two of the three parts of the wedding you wanted photographed.  You cannot recover any of the monies you spent on invitations and dinners, ect.  Those things were seperate from the contract for photography services, and occured outside the control of the photographer, so you cannot recover ANYTHING for that, even though you feel upset that you spent that much money on the dinner and have nopictures of it.  The photographer simply cannot be held liable for those expenses.\nSorry, but you don't have a lot of options.  Small claims court is the place to sue for this, but again, depending on how much money you could get, you have to ask yourself if it is worth it.

You have a several issues here.  One is that you have a he said / she said thing between the Pastor and her.  Two is that you haven't said if you have a contract, and if so, did it guarantee that you would get ALL photos ... good bad or indifferent.   Three is that creative people such as professional photographers have a right to control the quality of the work that carries their name.  Four is that you are using a very impersonal means (e-mail) for a very personal plea.  Five is that although your goal would appear to be the pictures more than anything, but the way you are going about it is all wrong.  \n\nMaybe the Pastor  did tell her no flash in the church ... and maybe he didn't.  Maybe he didn't make it clear that she could stay on the lower level as long as there was no flash.  Maybe he did tell her but there was something about that area that she felt would interfere with the images.  Professional wedding photographers usually know their stuff.  I'm not saying your Pastor is lying, but it sure sounds like there was a miscommunication somewhere.  You appear to be placing the blame on her, yet you did not hear the exchange between the two of them for yourself. \n\nWhat does your contract say?  Does it say that you have a right to every single photo taken that day ... test, overexposed, underexposed, etc ...  If it does, you have the right to those photos.  The photos you have video of her taking could have been test shots.  Or it could be a quality issue with those shots.\n\nPhotographers don't have a duty to release any photos that don't showcase their work properly.  I totally understand how you feel, but if the photos don't meet certain standards as far as the quality of her work, I don't think you can force the point.  Their livelihood depends on the quality of their work that is put out under their name and they have a right to protect that. \n\nYour best shot (pun intended) of getting these photos is by making a personal appeal to her.  Perhaps she will release them without it being branded as her work.  Call her up (no more e-mail!  You have been relying on an impersonal manner for a personal plea) and tell her that you understand she has standards for her work, blah blah, but that you really would like to see these photos as it is the only photographic record of the event.  Ask her to send a few to you.  Maybe they are so dark that you really can't see a thing, but it wouldn't hurt to look for yourself.  Maybe once you see the shots, you won't want them.  You are assuming that the photos are something other than orange brown fuzzy blobs.  If you can actually see something (no matter how badly), explain to her that although they are just bad shots to her, they mean the world to you and ask her to release them in a form that isn't associated with her name. \n\nShe probably hasn't responded because she feels that you are either asking for something that you don't have a right to or because she feels that you want to place the blame on her.  Maybe it was all her fault, maybe it wasn't.  In any case, even the slightest hint of blame, accusation or demand coming from you is going to put her on the defensive. If you want the photos more than you want to point fingers, try my approach.\n*********************\nok, I saw your update.  What does your contract or written agreement state?  Does it state that you have a right to every single photo taken by her at the event or only the ones she deems are usable and of high quality?

You may have the path to your pictures wrong. What is your website address? Did the pictures upload OK, try uploading again just incase.

Google Images, its gotta be on some site. And also, for future convince, save all your photos to a back up disk incase that does happen again.

Lol, these thing are all over the internet and all you got to do is right click on them and select "save as" then save it somewhere to your hdd and print them up, or you can copy them to a removable storage device and take them to a photoshop place of your choice and thay can print them up so it looks like you took the picture yourself, Checkout the links below, if you want more just search the internet and you will find a whole bunch, Good luck. ;)

Nope that recently happened to me and I lost everything, pictures, programs and all music. You need to either save them all to Cd's or download them onto an ipod.

My brother divorced also without kids and remarried and now has children.  I still have his wedding pictures and other pictures that have he and his wife.  They are a part of his and also my history with him.  Therefore, I keep them but they are not in the same albums as the pics from the present.  They are in the older albums that are kept put away and only pulled out occasionally.

I got married in Birmingham.  We used Jim Little as our photographer, and I loved him.  The big 11x14 came out just incredible, and you get a proof book, too, so you get all your pictures and not just the ones you buy reprints of.  That might cost a little extra, I don't remember.  But it's worth it to get the proof book.\n\nhttp://www.jimlittlephotography.com/\n\nFor the life of me I cannot seem to remember the name of our caterer.  It was Sheri, or Sherry something.  She did the catering and the flowers, so it was a great deal on both.  And she was based out of this gorgeous old historic house.  I think it was somewhere in Roebuck?  There is a "Sherry's Floral and Catering" on Center Point Road, so I bet that's it.  Here's a website with the address and phone number\n\nhttp://www.eliteevents.com/exhibitors.html?ActiveCategories.SelectedCategory.ID=764\n\nit's a little over 1/2 way down the page.\n\nGood luck!  And congratulations!!!!

You can go to photobucket.com and click on the search button and put the names in the empty space and there you go. I look for pictures on there all the time. Have Fun!

if you permanently deleted them then they are gone for good.  you could ask the people again for them, but besides that you won't have much luck.  that's why you should allways be careful when deleteing things, sometimes they cannot be restored

If you did a full system restore they are gone. I feel your pain. I lost mine just last week. You can only retrieve pictures and or personal files if you use the transfer wizard before you restore or manually save them. You can however use a restore POINT and not lose your files.

You need not to use the PC (if the HD sector where the original document was stored gets overwritten, the data is gone for good). Then find a recovery software (Davory or Recover My Files can do the work) and try to find your files.

i can see that these images are improtant to you.\nthings like photo's have ireplacable sentamental value.\nbut you first need to ask your self;y do u want them back?\n\nif they the reasons that you come up with are all fair and valid reasons, rather than to make trouble for your ex (which i am not saying you are) i think you should ask you ex for them.\n\ngranted you are not talking at the moment, but if you explain exactly how precious those pictures are to you, or whatever your reason is for wanting them back, provided you are civil,kind and not patronising you should have no problem getting them back.\n\nremember, it is human nature for us to show compassion, so if you are kind and give ur ex valid reasons for wanting them back, that compassion thing should kick right in.\n\n\ni hope that helps, good luck.\n\n:-)

pics may not be there anymore, you may have security settings blocking the images from appearing, or the picture may be in a format your computer doeesn't recognize

there are programs that can retrieve the images at a lowel format, you can try them for free, and if one works for you, buy  it, they don't cost but about 20.00, I use one called digital picture recovery for my clients, another one that works very well is photorecovery v3
