Wedding photographer missed deadline and won't respond
Wedding vendors frequently miss contracted delivery deadlines for photos and videos, subsequently ignoring countless texts and emails from the couple. Instead of receiving their footage, newlyweds spend months chasing the vendor for updates, only to be given new promised delivery dates that repeatedly pass without explanation. This leaves them fearing they will never receive their wedding memories and unable to secure partial refunds for the severe delays.
