I Want My Money, and My Entire Wedding, Back!

It’s probably not altogether uncommon for unhappy brides or grooms to sue over sloppy wedding photos or terrible food.  But Todd Remis of New York has taken the wedding vendor lawsuit to the next level.  He’s suing the photographer and the photography studio for failing to capture every precious moment of his 2003 wedding (specifically, the last dance and the bouquet toss).  He wants them to pay him $4,100 – the cost of the original photos – and another $48,000.00 so that he can re-create the entire wedding for proper documentation.  Says Remis: “I need to have the wedding recreated exactly as it was so that the remaining 15 percent of the wedding that was not shot can be shot.”

It turns out that there may be some logistical problems with Remis’ plan.  For one thing, he is now divorced from the woman whom he claims was insufficiently photographed.  For another, his ex-wife may have moved back to her native country of Latvia, and Remis hasn’t spoken to her in quite some time.

A New York Supreme Court judge has already thrown out most of Remis’ claims, including a claim that the photographer and studio inflicted emotional distress.  However, his claim that the photography studio breached their contract with Remis and his ex-wife stands.
