Thank you! It definitely was a different approach to wedding photography. Which is definitely what I was going for.

I love how these bridal photos are untraditional and they feel comforting, like they are really inlove. These were so fun to look at. I totally think you should keep doing bridal!!

Thank you so much for sharing this Jennifer! It takes guts to out a bad client and like the comments before, there is much to be learned from this experience. I’m fairly new to the world of freelance photography so this has been a HUGE eye opener for me. I think in general we want to give people the benefit of the doubt and probably never think things like this will really happen, but now we know that they do and even with friends/acquaintances.

Oh, I definitely feel the same way. I went against my own rules and my own better judgment and it slapped me in my own face. You live you learn…But I still have a contract and a paper trail backing me up.

“Against my regulations and our initial contract…”

I know this may should harsh, but it’s your own fault. You should have never gone against your initial contract. I know you were just being nice and he seemed harmless, but the contract was made for a reason, so that you would not be in this mess. My advice to you is simply follow your own rules and realize that not everyone is as nice as they seem.

I think this is such good warning to other freelancers. We all really need to keep in touch as a community – and look out for one another. I’m sorry you had to go through this. He’s going on the “Do not work for” list, for sure!
