The wedding photographer’s dilemma was really something – but this solution was the icing on the cake

Over in Reddit’s r/WeddingPhotography forum, which needs no explanation, someone named u/Wedding_dude had a tricky and (we hope) unique problem.

‘Earlier this summer I shot a wedding. My typical second shooter couldn’t make it, so I found someone else online who I felt did good work. Anyways her and I did the wedding, and everything seemed business as usual. Photos were edited, delivered to client, all was good.

Then this morning I got an email from the bride. She was wanting a refund because the lady I had hired as second shooter for the day ended up sleeping with her husband at some point after the wedding, and she also included photos from his phone to prove it.

I haven’t responded yet, but what’s the best thing to do here? She hired me for a job and the job was completed and product was delivered. But I also feel like this would be as if I were a professional dog walker who walked a client’s dog, then came back and shot it later.

Of course the second shooter is considered a private contractor and not an employee….

Anyways what is the best thing to do here? I really feel for this lady, but that’s also a lot of money to have to give back for work that was done.’

A Reddit user named Byron Scott Jones had the perfect suggestion for the photographer’s dilemma.

The response was so good, it was picked up by Twitter.

Tweeters were every bit as impressed as Reddit had been – with Byron’s idea and the photographer’s hilarious dog analogy.

Richard Selden wanted an update.

We were also pretty impressed by the revenge potential of this suggested solution.
