getting sued over wedding pictures
Ron wrote: A friend of mines who invited me to his wedding begged me to take his wedding pictures (he knows I have pro equipment, new 1Dmk2 etc..) He said they were short of money and would love it if I took pictures. Anyhow I did take pictures (140) and him+newwife are not happy at all with any of the images and are planning to sue me. First of all I did this as a favor and for no charge they made the decision to skip out on a wedding photographer and use me for free (and I emphasize as a favor). Can they actually sue me? This is worrysome since I never had legal issues in my life. I can only wonder just what they intend to sue you FOR? Breach of contract? Tough without a contract. They didn't get what they paid for? Hmmm... Of course I'm sure you've already offered to return to them all that they paid you Lisa |

Any chance we can see the pics? Does the bride have a bun in the oven? Hard to cover that up. Oooh.....you're evil! I like it! :-) |

Tell him to give you back any copies he may have; that you'll fix them up for him. As soon as you have them all in hand, decide that you don't like them either; destroy 'em all. With friends like that you don't need enemies Ken |

People can _try_ to sue you for anything, but in a case like this, they couldn't possibly prevail. ---Bob Gross--- |

Hmmm... Of course I'm sure you've already offered to return to them all that they paid you There are doctrines called equitable estoppel and promissory estoppel, both of which use reliance in place of consideration (technically, equitable estoppel is not a contract doctrine; promissory estoppel is). There might even be a _technical_ basis for a fraud claim. This is, however, a technical legal analysis, and not an opinion as to the merit of a suit brought against this photographer by his so-called friend. Lisa |
