A newlywed couple has successfully sued their wedding photographer after paying a nearly $3000 for a disastrous photo and video package of their ceremony.
The collection of photos taken by Gareth Bowers, of Fresh Images, showed people with their heads chopped off, random close-ups of vehicles and inattentive wedding guests, UK media report.
A video of Marc and Sylvia Day's church ceremony in West Yorkshire, England, included one particularly shaky scene where the operator drops the camera and is heard swearing.
Of the 400 photos taken on the day the newlyweds were happy with only 22.
Thank You cards made by Mr Bowers for wedding guests also failed to hit the mark after the couple's names were both spelt wrong.
Mrs Day said the day lurched from one disaster to the next.
"The videographer missed us turning up at the reception so he filmed the driver opening the car door with nobody inside it," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"Bowers also missed the cutting of the cake and you can see how angry I'm getting on the wedding video — I even do a psycho slashing knife action, which I can't believe they left in."
The judge hearing the case agreed Bowers' service was "woefully inadequate".
He was ordered to reimburse the couple for $1000 of the fees paid, plus pay an extra $900 in damages, $340 in court fees and another $2000 compensation.
